Katie Gettys
Your teacher...
Hi there! I'm Katie Gettys -- I tell the students it rhymes with lettuce, but usually they just call me Mrs. G š
In the last four years, I have taught guitar to over a THOUSAND kiddos with my online music studio for kids, Mini Musicians Studio.
I pride myself on the fact that my guitar lessons are about none of the pressure, and ALL of the fun. š
We get to songs your students will LOVE as early as possible -- I'm talking songs by Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Imagine Dragons -- you name it! Or more of a Disney lover? Me too, let's do it!
It's so important to me that we learn in a way that students feel EXCITED about their progress and MOTIVATED to continue. I want them finishing every lesson, running to you (mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, etc.) and say "look to what I learned!"

The self-paced course allows students to learn at their own speed!
They can access all course materials anytime and progress through the lessons whenever it fits their schedule. Perfect for busy families or kids who like to move at their own pace!
Some students may complete the course in just a few weeks, while others might take a little longer. Itās all about what works best for your childās learning style and schedule!
We also recommend having a tuner (a clip-on tuner or the Smart Phone app Guitar Tuna).

What a fantastic class! ... did a great job of meeting the students where they were and being sensitive to their needs. It was such a success that we signed up for the next level immediately after this intro level class concluded.

My son was a total beginner and he learned so much. We are doing the second level of this class now!
- Lillian M.
In 4 months, my children went from no experience to knowing tabs, chords, and even playing a few pop songs. If you're considering having your child start guitar, I highly, highly recommend [MMS]!
The boys are eager to practice each week and look forward to the classes. What more could a parent ask for?
