It's never too late to learn guitar. I have graduated from knowing a few simple guitar chords to playing in front of a live audience of several hundred people. I look forward to many more years of working with Middleway and continuing to improve and develop as a musician. My feeling of envy for those who can pick up a guitar and start strumming away was at its peak when I finally decided to start taking lessons. I was lucky enough to find Middleway Music Studio and have not looked back since. Manny is a true talent as a musician but that is not what makes him special. You can find many talented musicians and instructors, but what makes the Middleway Method unique is the aspiration to turn you into a true musician. He intuitively knows when to challenge and push you to the next skill level while creating a comfortable and fun atmosphere.

At Middleway Music you'll be playing your favorite tunes in the first few months & learning from the best music teacher around, bar none (and I've had several). Manny is an exceptional guitar teacher. His unique methods of improving your guitar skills are smart and effective, and 5 years later, I’m still making progress every week.

Over the past seven years I’ve had the opportunity to enjoy the fun and camaraderie of a really-close knit Middleway Music community. If you’re interested in learning to play guitar, it’s an experience that definitely can’t be beat! Too often we decide it’s time to give up on a dream. Lack of time. Lack of will power. Too old. You name it. A few years ago, I thought that I could never learn to play guitar beyond strumming the few tunes I could find that didn’t involve contorting my fingers into some crazy, unimaginable position. I doubted I would ever be good enough to feel like spending an afternoon at home working on a tune or have the confidence to play for my friends. I certainly never even IMAGINED getting up on a stage and performing in front of an audience. Fortunately, I walked into Manny’s studio before tossing my guitar and ideas like that aside. Manny is not only a supremely talented musician and teacher, but a great friend and truly inspirational spirit whose dreams for each of his students are probably bigger than their own. Thanks to his unique and personalized approach to teaching, a few years later I now look forward to finger-picking James Taylor tunes at home on rainy afternoons, serenade my friends at their first suggestion and have sweated in front of audiences not once but many times.

Thanks to Middleway, music has become one of the best things in my life. I get to listen to it, but most importantly I get to make it. I'm so lucky to have an amazingly talented and fun teacher like Manny. To be apart of a studio like this and perform in concerts with other music students are experiences I will remember my whole life. Playing piano and singing has changed the person I am in the best of ways and I know it's something I never want to stop doing.
