Student Appreciation

April was super busy for us! Along with International Guitar Month, and Spring Break, we also celebrated our students! Each day of the week we offered our students a different treat. We had hostess treats, popcorn, along with gummie fruit snacks! Its safe to say our students enjoyed it!

Summer Recitals

Our summer recitals are quickly approaching! We are currently taking sign ups for our enrolled students. If you are not enrolled with us but are interested in taking lessons we offer a recital twice a year! Our recitals are always free and are held at some of our local venues. We film them and put them online for friends and family to see!
