My son takes lessons with Ainsworth in the Garden Walk Area and the difference in her confidence is incredible. She has shown her various acoustic strumming techniques and even a bit of electric guitar soloing. Ainsworth positive encouraging teaching style really keeps her engaged and excited for each lesson.

Ainsworth completely transformed my approach to singing in Dallas. I used to struggle with expressive runs, but now my vocals sound polished and confident.

Ainsworth made my son's dream come true as she always wanted to learn how to play guitar and Ainsworth gave her lessons at Weston Ranch.

Ainsworth guitar classes in Jungle Terrace had me nailing palm mutes and power chords like I’d been playing for years,way faster than I ever thought possible. Now I’m actually confident enough to hit the stage!

My guitar teacher is incredibly knowledgeable and approachable. I started with zero experience not even knowing how to hold a pick but she patiently walked me through everything without judgment. I really look forward to every lesson as because of these classes I've grown so confident!

Moving past basic chords felt like a huge step, but In Tempe with the right mix of Ainsworth guidance and encouragement, fingerstyle started to click. The progress has been incredibly motivating and made guitar feel more personal and expressive.
