This is for you if…

Your 8–13-year-old is begging to get started on guitar

…and you want to do everything you can as a parent to make sure their first experience is fun and positive from Day 1.

Your child is currently in lessons but not enjoying them as much as you thought they would

(Maybe they felt slow, too technical, or not fun enough), and you want to do what you can to help.

Hi there, I’m Katie Gettys, owner of MMS!

And over the last six years, we’ve worked with over 1,800 kiddos in our online lessons and pride ourselves on the fact that our lessons are about none of the pressure, and ALL of the fun. 🎉

We get to songs your students will LOVE as early as possible. We’re talking songs by Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Imagine Dragons, you name it! More of a Disney lover? Us too, let’s do it!

It’s so important to us that students feel EXCITED about their progress and MOTIVATED to continue. We want them finishing every lesson, running to you (mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, etc.), saying “look what I learned!!”
