GRAND OPENING/STUDENT SHOWCASE!!!
Neye Benziyor?
we sound like our students, and our students sound like us. We're darn proud of that.
Austin Guitar School opened its doors thanks to the owner, Ted Hall. Now, 22 years later AGS is still Austin's 1 pick for aspiring guitarists. In fact, our guitar school was so successful that we became more versatile by adding Electric Bass, Drum, and Piano programs. Over the years, we have accumulated such a diverse staff, great musicians who have a passion for what they do, so much so that they want to share it with others.
The school specializes in private instruction for all styles of guitar - Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Dobro, Classical Guitar, Electric Bass, Mandolin, Lap Steel, Banjo, Drums, Piano, Voice and Violin. Group instruction is offered for Beginning Blues Guitar and Beginning Electric Bass thru the University of Texas. We have also just begun implementing a "Kids Guitar Class" for kids ranging in age from 5 -9.
All our students have the opportunity to perform with a band, in front of a crowd every three months in what we call our "Student Showcases". The Showcases are generally held on Sunday afternoons and are an all day event. They are completely free!
Also available to our students is our music library and movie theatre. We have hundreds of instructional videos, magazines, and tab books that our students are welcome to use here at the school.

There is a secret power, a silent power called respect. This goes past musical politics and opinionated values given to different genres, techniques and styles. Within all that can be said for the dedication of musicianship and the art of tones and rhythms, there lays the great hidden bow. This is found when one artist says to another with no words, the recognition of the one attribute that goes past all others in what makes a musician special unto themselves, its called passion. Passion is greater than discipline, than technique, than mastering any and all points to any instrument. When one musician, not by site or reputation comes upon another, and by ear alone understands that musician’s story through the passion that they hear, then comes the hidden bow, the respect that is given in knowing what music means to that other musician. This is greater than any spoken word; it is the bond that bridges all music’s and the respect that is given to the dedication and passion that it takes to be something different, something more. You never hear this being spoken, it is the hidden bow of respect, no musical politics or opinionated values stand greater than this. It is the one real meaningful compliment to what music and musicianship truly mean. So I bow to you my friend, and the passion you hold so dear.
Thanks a million AGS for joining our ministry of Blues. It's all about peace, love, understanding, and GROOVE. We hope to perform for you sometime. Wishing you the very best in Blues and life! -Big Daddy
