Marty Keith knows music. At age 4, Marty began learning how to play the guitar from Herb Chapman,
father of GRAMMY and Dove award-winning artist Steven Curtis Chapman. As a full-time professional musician he performs live, records in studio, writes music for television and film, and has been teaching private guitar lessons for over twenty years.
Many of Marty's music students are homeschoolers, and as a homeschool dad, he gets it. He will even provide grades for your report card.
Marty is accepting new guitar students. Besides
guitar, Marty also
offers lessons on bass guitar, ukulele, stage
performance, songwriting, and artist development. Adult students are
welcome, too. Rental guitars are available for a small fee.
Marty offers first lesson free for homeschoolers. Lessons are 30-minutes, once a week (no extra charge for a 5-week month.) Hour lessons are available for advanced students.
Marty is conveniently located just half a mile off I-65 (Exit 65, Hwy. 96) in Franklin. Email: johnmartinkeith at hotmail dot com or call him at 615-415-1942.
Check out what some of Marty's students are saying:
After taking one lesson from Marty my entire outlook on music changed. I learned technique, explored different styles, and also began composing my own songs. I wouldn’t be the musician I am today without his patience, encouragement, and dedication to teaching. If you’re thinking at all about improving your skills as a musician, look no further than Edenbrooke Music. — Ali, 19
We have been so happy with guitar lessons from Marty Keith! In just 9 months my son is playing many songs and playing them well! I never would have guessed that he would be playing guitar like this in such a short time. Marty’s style is patient and thorough. He really cares about his students and wants the very best for each of them. — Amy, Franklin TN
I really like taking guitar lessons from Marty because he makes learning guitar fun and he lets me play songs that I like. — Logan, 11
My 16 year old son has been taking acoustic guitar and now electric guitar as well from Marty for the
past 3 years. Marty is very
talented, hard working, always on time, and a does an amazing job
engaging my teenage son in the learning process. His talent, teaching
skills and caring attitude are wonderful! — Gwen, Brentwood TN
I would highly recommend Mr. Keith as a guitar teacher! My son is 14 and he has really advanced this year! He told me he has learned so much from him! Lots of instruction. –Diana, Franklin TN
Our 10 year old really enjoys taking lessons from Marty. His ability to teach her to play everything from Guns N Roses to Fleetwood Mac to old hymns keeps guitar fresh and fun. We’ve really seen her progress over the months and create a collection of guitar music that is never boring. Marty maximizes the lesson time so she learns something new each week to practice until the next lesson. She enjoys playing guitar and ukulele now! — Lori, Brentwood TN
Marty Keith came highly recommended to us by friends. Our daughter
started taking lessons from him almost three years ago. We are very
pleased with her continued progress and that she learns songs she enjoys
playing. Marty is a knowledgeable professional musician, is organized
with his communication and lessons, and is very encouraging to his
students. — Rebecca, Brentwood TN
I have taken lessons from Mr. Marty for almost three years. He is a very good teacher, encourages me to continue learning, and gives me a variety of songs to play. –Zola, age 11
Marty Keith’s heart for God is displayed in his teaching and encouragement of young children. His passion for guitar and music, combined with his passion for Christ is the perfect environment for learning. I love the variety of his song selections and how he moves through them building confidence and the sense of accomplishment for my daughter…I’m truly thankful! — Anne, Franklin TN
