I’ve been taking mandolin lessons with Harmon for just over a month. I was pretty nervous but it’s been such a great experience. It feels totally tailored to my own experience, goals, and challenges. Being in your 40s and starting a new thing can sometimes be daunting, but I’m really glad I gave this a shot. I’m further along than I expected to be, and I feel like Harmon is really listening to my questions and music preferences.

Whether you are an actual beginner or someone looking to clean up their technique and re-energize their practice regimen, I highly recommend the Guitar Foundations Classes of Alex Margitich at Montavilla Guitar Studio. All of the classes I have attended have been over Zoom. Being new to doing this kind of group class over Zoom, I was surprised at how deftly information was handled both over audio and onscreen, integrating song recordings and tablature pdf’s as well as Alex’s verbal instructions. Also, the classes are recorded for easy reference. Alex is very careful in demonstrating techniques and following-up to ensure everyone is with him. He’s also excellent at guiding the class thru a progression of skills into playing complete songs very quickly- at pretty much every lesson. This, along with his astute, real-world advice on how to overcome obstacles to practicing is just what I’ve needed to stay engaged and growing as a guitarist. Finally, every interaction I’ve had with the folks at Montavilla Guitar Studio has been both professional and positive!

This studio provides great musical education in the safe environment. Our kids take guitar and drum set lessons over four years. Also they are very organized, and makes the lives of busy teens and parents easier.

My six-year old has been taking ukulele lessons here for about three months and just had her first showcase recital. They are AWESOME. The place is nice and everyone is super friendly.
