From the reviews

The owner has been my guitar teacher for years and he is honestly the best. Super patient, really knowledgeable, and helps cater the classes to help the student the best. Would definitely recommend for anyone bigger or advanced for lessons!

#1 I’m a drummer and have been a drummer for a long time. #2 I’ve been toying with guitar for over a year and I finally decided to take some lessons and went to Tony Gaglio. I can’t say enough about my experience. In the past I played a gig or two with Tony and he’s clearly an awesome player - you gotta see him play.

★★★★★ — Jason, Nov 2020

I'm so glad we found this shop! My daughter takes guitar lessons from Tony, who had to be born for the purpose of teaching music. His methods keep her interested and excited to come back every week!

★★★★★ — Sherri, Sep 2018

My daughter's been taking guitar classes with Tony for about 3 months now and she loves it. She has learned so much in a short time. Tony is a great teacher. She even wants to go twice a week.
