Hear Our Students Play

Recent testimonial: I'd like to tell you how pleased I am that we decided to take guitar lessons at your academy. I really like that you emphasize not only hitting the
right notes, but making it sound like music. I fear Christy has become a
little lax in her piano because her teacher lets her get away with just
getting through a piece vs. playing it well and making it sound good. And
really, what's the point of playing if you just hit notes and there's no
expression?

Latest News: An Apple Valley Guitar Academy student was recently admitted to the University of Wisconsin as a guitar major. His professor is one of several experts who has praised the guitar books written by our master teacher.
