Scottsdale Music Academy is a one of a kind place. John, the founder, is a wonderful, supportive teacher and shows a level of care to all the studio's students that is truly amazing.
The studio has so much cool gear, including an amazing stage room for the kids to perform and rehearse in. And the kids get so many amazing performing opportunities outside the studio as well.
I totally recommend SMA to anyone looking for lessons for themselves or for their kids. John is great, but I've had nothing but great experiences with all of the other instructors as well. Try a lesson and you won't be disappointed! (And you'll probably learn a few chords too.)
So in short, try it out! Plus they give a free lesson anyways, so what have you got to lose? :)
