Guitar Instruction
With the guitar, the best thing we can do for ourselves is learning how to learn. Then, no teacher and no method can hold us back.
CURT GOLDEN is offering private instruction in Seattle, for beginners through advanced players. The primary focus of the approach used is HOW to play, rather than WHAT to play, with an emphasis on mechanics, fretboard knowledge and ear training.
Curt Golden is a guitarist, instructor and performer with 40 years experience; proficient in many styles. He is a graduate of the Berklee College of Music, and for the past 25 years has been an instructor and mentor in Guitar Craft.
In 2010, Curt helped to launch the Seattle Circle Guitar School, bringing high quality music instruction into Seattle elementary schools.

Mission Statement
The Seattle Circle Guitar School is a nonprofit music school devoted to opening the door to the creative process for children and adults, regardless of previous training or experience. Our approach emerges from the knowledge that learning to play music together contains endless possibilities for growth, and that the experience gained through this process develops skills that are essential.
Seattle Circle has launched a pilot program to bring the Guitar Circle into the schools. For more information:
