We teach all ages, amateur to pro. Many of our students have become top pros, and our school students take many awards including first in the state both woodwinds and brasses.

My name is Macario My band mates and colleagues like to call me Maca. I've been playing guitar for almost 20 years, and have been playing music since I was a child.

With a laid back vibe and decent music theory knowledge and experience playing various groups, I hope to make this experience as painless and easy going as possible.
