Developing life-long guitar players since 2016.
I teach teenagers to build a lasting skill and hobby that they can utilize forever to establish connections with friends, family and their own identity.
Replace your teens’ Social Media Apps with a Guitar!
Replace the hours of mindless scrolling on TikTok with a life-long passion for learning and playing the guitar. Through our guitar classes, your teenager will develop an exciting hobby that they can use for the rest of their lives to connect with friends and family and relieve stress.
We specialize in teaching guitar lessons to teens in Fairview, Kitsilano, Marpole, Oakridge, Langara, Kerrisdale, Mount Pleasant, Point Grey, Yaletown, East Vancouver, and many more communities in Vancouver British Columbia!
“Frequent social media use may be associated with distinct changes in the developing brain, potentially affecting such functions as emotional learning and behavior, impulse control, and emotional regulation.”
Are you concerned that your child is spending excessive time on their iPhone, neglecting opportunities to engage their minds actively?
Are you frustrated by your teen’s exclusive focus on social media apps like TikTok, Instagram and Facebook, lacking interest in broader activities?
Your child may have expressed interest in learning music but…
Have previous music lessons left your child disappointed due to unprepared or directionless instructors?
Have private music lessons left your child discouraged and forced to learn with a strict rigid, classical approach?
Have past guitar lessons resulted in boring and uninspiring song choices, such as "Mary Had A Little Lamb" and "Three Blind Mice"?
Or have they tried to learn via Guitar learning apps or unorganised Youtube tutorials only to be discouraged with their lack of progress?
Imagine If Your Child…
Had an engaging hobby that provided excitement and weekly challenges, free from reliance on Social Media.
Could learn, play, and perform guitar songs that are familiar and recognizable to both them and you.
Spent their spare time learning their favourite songs rather than spending hours on TikTok?
Was able to impress their friends and family during Christmas gatherings by performing songs from memory.
Had the chance to boost confidence in social settings through interactions with supportive peers who share similar interests.
