We are conservatory-trained teachers with years of experience on the stage and in the classroom. More than instructors, we are role models and mentors dedicated to making sure that every student reaches their full potential.
Our curriculum creates the complete musician, so that students can be any type of player. Students build musical literacy, technique and musical fluency while learning a variety of styles so that they can play Bach today and rock tomorrow.
Our faculty represent some of the most experienced and well-educated players and teachers in the Bay Area. They specialize in rock, metal, classical, and jazz, just to name a few! Each student will have their curriculum tailor-made by their teacher to fit their interests, goals and learning styles.

I.r. Guitar Lessons
“Allegra is a knowledgeable, patient, and kind teacher. I have been taking beginner and intermediate guitar and banjo group lessons with her for several years. She is always encouraging and the classes are friendly and fun. Her classes make me happy and a way better player, too. She’s as talented a teacher as she is a musician and I can’t recommend her highly enough..” -

Professional Guitar Lessons
“I have had several guitar teachers, and Allegra is in a league of her own! She teaches with humor, patience, and grace and makes learning fun and inspiring. She is highly responsive to her students’ needs and musical preferences, and teaches technique through songs that are fun to play and sing. I love the camaraderie and support of her group classes — entering her cozy studio with other musicians is a highlight of my week.”
“I cannot say enough good things about Allegra's group guitar classes. Allegra manages to make the class useful and fun, whether you practiced every day that week or if you had a rough week and didn't even look at your guitar. Either way, you leave feeling like you accomplished something. Allegra is very skilled at gauging the interests of the class; If your goal is to learn a lot of great tunes you can strum along to and sing around the campfire, you can DEFINITELY do this in Allegra's classes. But, if you're looking to pick up more complicated skills, you can do that here as well. The classes attract a crowd of really fun, mellow people who just love music and love hanging out one night a week to play and sing. I highly recommend you try her classes! “
