What Students Say:

​"I am an old guy student of the guitar.  The majority of students at this school are very young folks by my observation.

If you are a person who has been a fair weather player like myself then you may want to try this place out.  I had been on a 10 year hiatus and decided to find a new way forward.  I registered for guitar lessons and was placed with a person who really works to understand his students or their guardian's expectations.  I have had many many teachers through my life.  By far I have made the fastest progress working with my assigned instructor.  He really works to connect with his students.

If you are an older player like me and are open to changing old bad habits then you may want to consider Orpheus.  I am in my 50s but don't have a closed mind.  My instructor  corrected some of my old bad habits and a new horizon was opened to me.  The curriculum at Orpheus is academic but will produce results consistent with your investment.

​
That is all.  Good playing!"
