The guitar had been resting in its stand for many years without the attention it deserved. So sad. I have recently been inspired to play again and found that it was difficult to keep the guitar in tune. I recalled that when it was setup back in the 90's it resulted in an incredible sound and performance. It's back! Now I can strum my acoustic with great joy! Ha ha!

What I dislike is that there wasn't any real curriculum, just a book that we were told to purchase that doesn't explain anything-and he was expected to play without being told anything. Again, I taught him some things, so he was able to play from the book, but what if I hadn't taught him anything? Then what? I have a friend whose child attends there. Her other child attends Ted Brown. She never mentions anything about Cappella but goes on about how good Ted Brown is. That's curious. I know that Cappella produces wonderful results, I'm just not sure how, as this was not the case for us.
