Rhythm is in our bones. This is true of all cultures, across time. We just respond to music, we feel beats, and even if we’re not good dancers we shake or move in time with song. Music is in us, and you can see it in young kids and adults just the same. So when it comes to guitar lessons, unlike other classes or kind of school, there’s an embedded advantage. The student wants to learn because the lessons are fun and gratifying.

Guitar lessons offer at least two kinds of fun: short and long term. During the actual lesson, students enjoy interacting with the teacher, benefitting from their insights, improving on their instrument, and sharing laughs. Probably because music is a language, musicians and teachers are articulate, well humoured people. This is a general statement, obviously, but there’s truth in it. When you’re around music all the time, you’re normally in a good state of mind! Why wouldn’t you be? So teachers and musicians are generally pleasant people to be around.

But the long term pleasure from music lessons is perhaps even more meaningful and profound. The lessons give you an ability to make music for the rest of your life. This adds an irreplaceable layer of meaning to one’s life, and increases the pleasure of everyone in the room you’re playing. In company, you’re the life of the party. In a room by yourself, perhaps on one of those solemn, introspective nights, you’re given a way to escape your world and enter into a place of comfort that removes you of your troubles. Both are invaluable, and while the former might summon a more vibrant picture where the pleasure is more intense, both are related and invaluable. They’re a part of the same thing.

Perhaps the gift of music might even be more profound yet. Not only can you talk to your fellow musicians while you jam, but by playing the music of those immortal musicians and composers you love it allows you to enter their world. You can walk around in their ideas, but unlike a novel let’s say, where you enjoy the creator’s ideas alone in your head, you perform them aloud. Whereas words can get in the way of meaning, music is fun because people just respond to it on a sensory level that everyone can share. Its pleasure is deep without being elitist or exclusive. People just hear it and enjoy. Transferring that ability to somebody is a gift, and it’s a fun one! There’s a reason why guitar teachers took lessons in the first place, and why teachers of all levels still take lessons themselves: it’s fun!

Music is a language everyone understands, but learning to speak it is a joy people cherish for the rest of their lives. It’s hard to put into words, and that’s probably the point: music is meant to be felt, to be experienced on the sensory level only. What can be more fun than that?
