Serving Ione & Amador County · Loaner instruments included · Small groups, big fun
Start Here
No problem at all. Every beginner package starts with a special Week 1 sampler — you try both guitar and ukulele and pick the one that feels right for you.
In your very first session you'll get hands-on time with both a guitar and a ukulele. By the end of the hour, you'll know exactly which one you want to learn — and we'll take it from there.
Pricing
No hidden fees. Loaner instruments included in all beginner packages so you can start playing the same day.
The Process
Reach out by phone or email. Sessions fill up fast — small groups only.
Week 1 you try guitar and ukulele. No gear needed — we provide everything.
Choose your favorite and take home a loaner to practice between sessions.
By the end of your 4-week package, you'll play a full recognizable song.
Hi, I'm Holly — a longtime Ione resident with a love for guitar and ukulele. I'm not a concert performer, and that's exactly the point.
I teach the way I learned: casually, patiently, and with a focus on making music fun from day one. If you've always wanted to play but felt intimidated, this is the place for you.
When a student grows beyond what I can teach, I'll connect them with the right next teacher — because your progress matters more than keeping your business.
