Who it's for and when to use it

Use it for new guitar students, whether they're a teenager who wants to play rock songs or an adult picking up classical guitar. Styles of interest, from rock and pop to folk, blues, classical and jazz, tell you which songs will keep them practicing.

Acoustic or electric matters for technique and for which songs you choose, and "None yet" means a family needs advice on a first guitar. The tab or notation question tells you how to write things down for them.

The student, parent and availability steps match the piano lesson registration and voice lesson registration, so a music school can use all three side by side.

Tips for better responses

Start with a song they picked. Ask for one favorite song in your first reply. Learning part of it in lesson one is the best motivation there is.
Advise on a first guitar. For "None yet", suggest the guitar type and size that fits the student's age and style.
Write in their format. If they read tab, start with tab. If they read neither, teach both gradually.
Mention practice expectations. Ten to fifteen minutes a day beats an hour on Sunday. Say it early.

Make it your own

Teach bass or ukulele too? Add an instrument question at the top and options for each instrument.
Band workshops? Use the group class registration for group sessions and camps.
Recordings of progress? Add an optional file upload so students can send a recording of what they're working on.

Frequently asked questions

What should a guitar lesson registration form ask?

It should ask about the student's experience, the guitar they own, the styles they want to play, whether they read tab or standard notation and the lesson length, plus contact details and availability. This template covers all of that in 15 questions.

Why ask about acoustic or electric guitar?

Because technique, sound and song choice differ between them. Knowing the guitar also tells you whether a student needs an amplifier or advice on buying a first instrument.

What's the difference between tab and notation?

Tab shows which string and fret to play, while standard notation shows pitch and rhythm on a staff. Many guitarists start with tab; the form asks so you can write lessons in a format the student can read.

Can adults use this form?

Yes. The parent step is there for younger students; for adult learners, make it optional or remove it.

Does the form work on phones?

Yes. Most parents open forms on their phones, so the form fits any screen size. Multi-step forms show a progress bar, and file uploads work from a phone's camera roll.

Is there a free version of Bear Forms?

No, there's no free plan, but you can try the full form builder at bearforms.com/demo without signing up. When you're ready, Solo is $4 a month and Pro is $15 a month, and your first payment has a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can test it with real families risk-free.

Do I need any technical skills to use this template?

No. You change questions by clicking on them, and you can drag them into a new order. There's no code to write. If you can fill in a form, you can edit this one, and publishing it is one button.
