I’m a Performer, trend-setting Teacher, Art Lover, and enthusiastic Supporter of growing musicians everywhere. I believe that anyone can learn to play their inner song, that music teaches us about life, and that learning to play Guitar is incredibly fun and rewarding way to grow as a person.
I want to show you the way to becoming an exceptional guitarist!
My own musical journey has led me through moments of frustration, feeling overwhelmed by all the information out there. I know you know what I’m talking about. The world of guitar education is vast. There is an echo chamber of well-meaning voices trying to sell you the quick and easy path to learning riffs and licks via shortcuts like TAB. I have been down this road and let me tell you, it doesn’t work. Read more

This studio has fantastic teachers. My son looks forward to his lessons every week and is discovering new music that he loves to play. The studio location and set up makes it easy to run across the street to bipartisan cafe for a coffee and come back until it's time to go.

I recommend this studio to any kid or adult looking to learn guitar, bass, and piano. -

Not just kids...adults, too! It's never to late to start. You learn to read music, not work off tabs. You get to work on your own projects as well as do group "guitar orchestra" performances. I love taking lessons with Neil, and singing lessons with Angie.

I am a student of Neil's at Montavilla Guitar Studio. I am in my 60s, with no musical education prior to this. I have had "learn to play guitar" on my bucket list for some time. A dream I had put aside from early in life. I am learning much more than I had ever imagined! Neil is amazing! He is so patient, positive, kind and skilled. He is much more than a guy who can play guitar. I am on my second year, with no plans to stop! My life has been enriched by this experience. He is great with all ages!
