Whether you're four or 104, call up Music Makers. They'll have the right teacher and lessons for you. I began taking guitar lessons from Pete, the studio's owner, when I was in high school, and then I took a break for far too long because life got in the way. I'm 30 now (ugh), and I just started up again because, gosh darnit, I want to rock. Pete is as great as ever with a very laid-back personality, yet he also has a unique balance of professionalism with his teaching style. I can't recommend this place enough, and if you're looking to sign up a few family members, they even offer a discount.

He is very professional, honest and punctual. And the price was very reasonable!

He found what he had which appeared to be only one, but I asked if he had any other brands. He did some additional searching and located a better mid range string. I would have liked a few more options but I don't blame this on him. The supply chain issues are the reason for limited supply of things in my estimation. With the second option in hand, he looked up the price, gave me a slight discount, and had me on my way. Friendly and knowledgeable. I will use these guys in the future if the need arises. Thanks again for the positive experience.
