Musical students - whether you take lessons with us or not - now forming 3 - 4 bands of varying levels and ages for our 8 week JamCamp program - each musician enrolled will be matched with similarly inclined musicians to learn a short set of songs, rehearse them at our facility for an hour a week for 8 weeks, and then perform together for friends, family and others at a well-known and professional Pittsburgh Club, with a pro stage, PA system, lighting and amps, drums, etc. - all at a very low rate, and all participants wil get a backstage pass, T-shirt, and CD of the concert! A very cool way to experience the "rock star" life for a day! All ages and levels are encouraged to apply - just drop us a line! bands will include guitar(s), bass, drums, vocalists and possibly keyboardists, so everyone check it out - we will have room for anyone interested!

Every month, our very own Suzy (finances, manager) makes a pick of the classiest, sexiest, most desirable guitar we have in stock... SO for July, 2012, for the first Suzy's pick - a modern Fender Telecaster in blue with a 50's vibe with the stock Bigsby tremolo. Very gorgeous and you have to see the birdseye maple neck to truly appreciate it's beaurty - dead mint condition!
Enjoy!

Nothing quite so rewarding as working in my own shop, my own studio and meeting and working with great people, and having a mission statement that simply put, states that I will serve my clients as I would want to be served, whether teaching or recording, and that I don't have one instrument in my shop that I wouldn't have purchased myself. I believe in karma, that our success is solely dependent on how we serve anyone that walks through our doors
