During the time of the pandemic, I picked guitar as a hobby, but never knew it would convert into a passion, and this was because of van Niekerk . All thanks to her guidance and detail-oriented classes, which actually made this journey very easy for me. Now I can play a whole song on the guitar and flex in front of my friends.

Practice became enjoyable and uplifting thanks to Callysta 's guitar tuition while she was living in the Fashion District. she assisted me in overcoming challenging barre chords and intricate riffs, and now I can play soft rock and intermediate pop songs with assurance.
