In Lwoodcroft, I learned to add blues licks and smooth slides to my playing. These new skills really helped me feel more sure of myself when playing solos.

Kushagra group sessions were both interactive and encouraging. In no time, my 4th grader picked up the basics and also made new friends. Thim took place in the city of Trinity Park.
