Washington Guitar School was founded by local guitarist and instructor Paul Bangser, former head of guitar at the Duke Ellington School of the Arts in Washington, D.C. He wanted to create a place where people could learn guitar and play in groups with others under the guidance of experienced instructors. Please contact us if you have any questions about our school. We look forward to working with you! |
“When my nine-year-old son started taking guitar with Paul almost a year ago, he had no prior musical knowledge. Now I watch him delightedly as he sings melodies and figures out the notes to play on his guitar. I have to give a lot of credit to Paul for helping him achieve the level he's at now after only ten months. Paul has not only been a great and patient music teacher, but he also knows very well how to motivate his students!”

“I took Paul’s beginning guitar classes and I renewed for several more sessions. He’s a great teacher, the guitar classes were fun and really effective, and they were the best part of my week!”
