In between the chaos of work, the only thing that gives me peace is the guitar lessons with Kirovska at Haight-Ashbury. Her approach to classical music and always focusing on my sitting posture is really commendble.

Both of my daughters were keen to learn guitar, but one was into acoustic and the other was into electric, and I thought I would need 2 tutors, but then I met George from Pacific Heights and he took classes of both of my daughter.

It was very difficult to find a good tutor for my son in the Sunset district who could actually understand the taste of my son in music. This is the time when we met Adam and he taught my son pop music and some movie tracks on guitar.
