My teenage son started lessons with MGS in the fall & I am astonished at how far he's come. MGS takes guitar seriously and makes it fun with additional practice groups & recitals (with professional musicians sitting in!). Though my son takes private lessons this makes him feel part of a community and he works hard to perform his best. I strongly recommend MGS!
