Alex Rocks! Our daughter can now finger pick, strum to songs she likes and loves playing her guitar. - Ruth Ohi
"I went to Footprints Music and Learning with two goals in mind- to increase my knowledge of guitar and to improve my soloing ability. Alex, my instructor, has really got me on track and I'm improving in both areas...after only 3 lessons! I also really appreciated how they were able to accommodate to my hectic schedule." - Joe Fay, York University
