My son Gustavo has been taking guitar lessons at Bella Angel for almost a year now. 
Not only is the staff truly welcoming and professional, but I can tell that they love what they do. I personally think this is the best investment my husband and I have made for my son. He is gaining so much more than I ever did at his age! I would highly recommend Bella Angel, they are great and afforable!
