Jeremy and his team at ASM are the best! Very family friendly and good for all ages. I'm learning to play guitar at age 42 and will be performing in my first ensemble in June. If you are thinking about taking lessons I highly recommend stopping by to meet them and see their place in person.

My son has taken guitar lessons at the ASM for three plus years, and the staff has been very accommodating, as well as offering great instruction. While there are other spots for instruction in a college town, this one offers professional service.
