Guitar Lessons in NYC, NY

(212) 537-6746

We all know the stereo-type: a stuck up instructor who's more interested in doling out monotonous exercises than helping you learn to play the guitar. A good guitar instructor passes on knowledge but also keeps in mind the interests of his/her students.

Perform For an Audience!

Join us and play the guitar at our next spring recitcal! We just had one on June 13th.

Student Reviews

Wendy P. Recommendation

Wendy provides voice lessons to both of our teenage children, ages 16 and 14 years old. She is truly outstanding. Wendy has a calming way about her that puts our kids at ease and makes the lessons enjoyable. She is very professional, always on time, and a pleasure to work with. She is outstanding at identifying strengths and weaknesses in vocal performance and has really helped both of our children improve. She comes highly recommended!
