Ellie A. says, "I had never played guitar prior to taking lessons with Ryan, and I cannot express how grateful I am that I decided to enroll in twin cities school of guitar! I can confidently say I would not have made as much progress as I did if I had tried to teach myself. Ryan was attentive, supportive, and very knowledgeable. I’ve had a great time trying out the different lesson types and have learned something new from each one. I had lots of fun with the group lesson aspect- seeing others improve was inspiring! Not only does Ryan help you improve in classes, he also offers practice techniques that encourage growth at home as well. If you’re thinking of signing up for lessons, Ryan is a fantastic teacher and starting guitar has been my favorite part of my summer!" Read more

Justin H. says, "Before working with Mike I would pick up my guitar occasionally, and put it down quickly, with no direction of learning. After the first lesson with Mike I was doing basic chord strumming, and within only a few weeks I was playing rhythm for some of my favorite songs. In the nearly 2 years that I took lessons with him I learned a lot and always looked forward to learning another song." Read more

I have a method to teach how to understand the entire neck of the guitar or bass from the very first lesson. This is different from traditional methods that most teachers follow. In doing so, students are setup to be able to learn on their own long after they stop taking lessons. I teach with the view, "I wish I had learned what I teach when I first started playing. Had I learned the instrument this way my abilities and progress would've grown much faster." Since I've been teaching. My students consistently comment on how much they learn and how they've noticed their abilities improve. I have a Bachelors from Gustavus Adophus College - St.Pet...

I've been taking lessons with Mike for a few years now and I'm very happy with the progress I've made. Mike is a great teacher, he's very knowledgeable and talented, and he does a really good job of incorporating my questions and interest into our lessons. He gives me good constructive feedback and always has good suggestions on how to improve. Mike has a lot of real world experience playing in bands and recording and producing music which he also works into our lessons and I find that to be incredibly valuable as well. If you're looking for a guitar teacher I would highly recommend Mike.

Al Ynigues was very welcoming and friendly, and my first drum lesson went as well as could be expected for an extremely rhythm challenged student. Mr. Ynigues lesson plan was well organized and presented.
