Instrument instruction

ALL LEVELS WELCOME TO make some noise

Whether you want to learn a new instrument, build skills with one you’re currently playing, or take your rockin’ to a whole new level — we have a place for you!

OGR’s instrument instruction focus on bolstering confidence and creativity, supporting students of all ages to develop skills at their own pace on the instrument of their choice. Omaha Girls Rock uses the historical impact of women in music, diverse genres and popular music to help youth learn.

We offer lessons for guitar, bass, ukulele,
VOICE, keys, and drums!

One-on-one lessons follow the Omaha Public Schools calendar and enrollment takes each summer for Fall programming, and winter for Spring programming. After students register, OGR matches students with a Teaching Artist, keeping in mind instrument of choice, any instructor preferences, and everyone’s availability. We focus on collaborating with our students each lesson with benchmarks, goal-setting and mentorship.

Our instrument instruction lessons are available for youth, first grade - high school seniors of any gender. Youth must be at least age 8 at the time of enrollment for guitar, bass, voice, keys, ukulele, or drums.

Registration is closed for Fall 2024.
