> MEMBERSHIP PROGRAM for our Guitar Lab Students In 5 years we have seen so much progress in those students that stick with it and keep doing the guitar labs. One 8 week quarter is a lot of fun and you'll be amazed at what you learn, but our programs are designed as an ongoing process. Students that do this and continue from lab to lab become real musicians FAST! So, to make it easier for you to do more than one lab, we've created our membership program which spreads out the cost over a year, discounts multiple labs AND offers savings on Studio time as a perk! Click here for the details and call or email us if you have any questions!
HAVE QUESTIONS OR WANT A TOUR You can also set up a free consultation by calling us at 805 542-9528 or sending us an e-mail. One of our team members will call you ASAP. Check out our Community pages for some fun photos, videos and articles. You can also see more videos on our You Tube Channel.
