    Love my guitar lessons here! My job keeps me busy, but Mike was super flexible with scheduling, making it easy to fit music into my week. We explored all kinds of music and balanced playing with just the right amount of theory and form. When I struggled with rhythm, Mike got creative and brought out the drums—suddenly, it all clicked! Highly recommend for anyone looking to have fun and learn.
