"Music is an exciting, lifelong odyssey. The core strength of every student is that initial spark that inspires the journey."

Guitar Lessons Should Be Fun

I began playing guitar because I loved the kinetic energy of heavy metal music. That initial spark lit a fire in me for a lifelong pursuit of music. Every student begins their study for similar reasons. I aim to cultivate your excitement for music and help you journey even further beyond.
