Attila brings a wealth of professional experience, musical expertise and of course amazing guitar skills. I've appreciate how he tailors my lessons to what I'm interested in and what skills/genres/pieces I want to learn. Additionally, the transition to online lessons has been seamless and I feel like I'm still getting a quality lesson over FaceTime. Highly recommend! More...

Attila is a dream teacher: talented, friendly, supportive, flexible, warm-hearted, and encouraging.
He combines a deep, life-long passion for teaching (unlike many other guitar teachers, he is not just biding time until his next gig), with a love of music, and an expertise with both beginners and advanced players.
He is especially gifted with kids. My daughter loves her lessons with Attila!!

Aaron Chapin
His teaching style is unique. He is able to be flexible with his approach by getting to know his students and finding out what their goals are. He is proficient in many styles and genres and is able to bridge your learning style and able to make connections to further learning. More...
What do you love most about your job?
My motto shares the thoughts of Joe Diorio - he is one of my favorite guitarist and educator:
"Teaching is the highest thing you can do - helping people to help themselves or maybe fulfill their dreams."
What inspired you to start your own business?
When I was 13 and I decided that I want to be a musician. Later an idea started to grow inside me that I would like to pass on what I already know. So I started to teach in parallel with my music teacher training classes during my university years more, than 20 years ago.
