What Our Students Have To Say?

“I came in as a complete beginner who didn’t even know how to hold the guitar properly. Leigh’s calm approach, gentle corrections, and truly unmatched depth of knowledge made learning not just easy, but exciting. After years of wanting to play, I can now read music confidently and perform classical pieces I never believed I could master. The Classical Guitar & Bass Studio is more than a lesson space — it’s a rare place where experience, artistry, and encouragement all live together.”

Our guests kept asking where we found such a beautiful guitarist. Booking was seamless, communication was clear, and the musical atmosphere felt elegant without ever overpowering the moment. A true classical talent — we cannot recommend Classical Guitar & Bass Studio enough.”
