Playing guitar involves much more than one's fingers and understanding music theory; it involves  the way one hold the guitar, the production of sound, and subtleties in the changing of notes. We pay close attention to the following: posture, use of the whole body, including right and left hands, tone quality, musical interpretation, reading notes, and rhythm.

We are ready to help kids and teens to develop balanced technique and reach their  full musical potential. All levels, ranging from absolute beginners to advanced, are invited to explore a variety of genres.
