My son is really enjoying his electric guitar lessons. He is learning to play the kind of music he loves in a fun and nurturing environment. We have both been amazed at the kind of things he has been able to play. As a parent, seeing the sense of accomplishment on his face as his skills expand is truly priceless!

Recording is done in our Pro Tools and Reason professional studio. We generally recommend students have at least 6 months of private lesson experience
