Let me start by saying I am/was new to "all things" guitar related. I didn't even know what the…read moreparts of the guitar were called beyond maybe 4-5 things. Let me stress here, I knew zip, zero, nada about guitars, but I wanted to learn how to play. So.... When I first found Elite Academy I was on the fence about whether to learn to play the guitar on my own by watching YouTube videos, or go for in-person lessons. (which I was quite fearful of doing due to covid and living with an extremely high-risk person) I'd decided to start out with just a couple of in-person lessons, to at least get a semi-proper start with a bit of feedback, and then mainly stick with YouTube. I NOW realize how completely naive that idea was, assuming you truly want to learn that is! Anyway, I talked to Damian, who is the director of Elite Academy, and after discussing my concerns with in-person instruction he told me online lessons would likely be the best fit for me personally. (I'm sure he quickly realized I was over-the-top paranoid about in-person lessons. Lol) I thought I'd give online lessons a try, even though I honestly assumed "online lessons" wouldn't be as beneficial as in-person lessons. WRONG! What occurred next changed EVERYTHING!! We set up a time for an online lesson. Prior to my 1st lesson Damian sent me a few of his beginner videos to watch as well as other info/charts to look over. The information was presented in a crystal clear fashion, it was easy to understand and retain, and it became instantly clear to me that a TREMENDOUS amount of time and thought had been put into his lesson plans, and they were structured in a way that was absolutely intentional in helping a beginner learn in the easiest and fastest way possible. After the first lesson I knew without a doubt I'd accidentally hit the jackpot in finding Damian! I'm now 2 months in with weekly online lessons and I can't believe what I've learned in such a short time. I'm beyond impressed with Damian as an instructor! If you are searching for a guitar instructor, all I can say is give Damian a call and take a lesson or two. His fees are extremely reasonable and it's worth a try. If you aren't happy then move on, but I'm 100% sure after a lesson or two you won't be going anywhere! (because then you'll know what I already found out... JACKPOT!! Lol)

Damian is brilliant, talented, patient, kind and funny. He is not only the best music teacher I've ever had, but a true friend. If you want to learn to play guitar, you will not find a better teacher. Anywhere.

I actually have proof for my review, feel free to read the messages. I hired Sound Mind Studios…read morearound November where at first I did get the quality of work that I wanted. I spent around $200 and got $200 worth of work back. My mistake was getting comfortable, I paid in advanced $400 for the rest of my project with terrible results. As you can see in the texts this person refused to respond on multiple occasions, I paid for work around January and still around summer I was asking for my work back. By the time I got my work back there were essentially no changes. The producer added an EQ layer which someone their first semester of undergraduate could do within 10 minutes, it was nothing that I asked for and definitely not worth $400. I contacted his manager who clearly didn't want to be bothered. At this point summer was in full swing and I wanted to just have a refund of my $400 and find another studio. Of course the manager "didn't have my money" and refused. He offered to fix my project but with the low quality of work and clear annoyance with me (and I quote) "This cannot be a never ending project", I accepted that I was stolen from and moved on. DO NOT GO HERE unless you're fine losing hundreds of dollars.

I'm not proficient as it's just a hobby, but I've always liked Ovation guitars and saw a used electric-acoustic one for sale. We went to the front desk and didn't wait even 30 seconds before one of the clerks greeted us with a warm smile. He then answered a few questions and let me check out the guitar without any pressure. No updates, no silly offers for professional guitar care kits, straps, etc. He surprised me when he told me that the guitar came with a case! Albeit an older, beat-up one, but I was ecstatic about it, regardless. Anyway, the transaction went smoothly. We had an enjoyable discussion about music and guitars; the staff were very welcoming and professional - not just to us, but everyone. It was an enjoyable shopping experience and I'd totally make the drive to purchase from again.

After speaking with Melody, I found out she's able to travel almost anywhere in US and beyond. I will be getting married in December, and my fiancé said that we WILL definitely be having Melody perform at our wedding. Now my fiancé isn't always the easiest person to please, especially when it comes to our wedding.
