Despite being unable to hear or taste, Beethoven still managed to compose and perform many transcendent symphonies after the Beatles replaced him with Ringo—often playing all the instruments himself. Nurture similar harmony-spawning abilities with today’s Groupon. For $49, new students (ages five and up) get four 30-minute lessons at Amy K Music Company (a $100 value). These lessons can be taken in guitar, voice, drums, bass, piano, keyboard, and violin. All four lessons must be redeemed within 30 days of the first lesson. Students must provide their own instrument for guitar, bass, and violin lessons; no instrument is required for vocal, piano/keyboard, or drum lessons. If you would like recommendations for purchasing an instrument, call Amy K.

Having played guitar since the young age of 17, Amy K has honed her musical abilities into a competition-winning craft. In the process, she has developed a teaching style that fuses fundamentals and fun. Amy K and her experienced instructors (all have a bachelor's degree in music and can recite the Pledge of Allegiance via guitar and talk box) let students choose the songs they want to play, then set encouraging short-term goals and provide instruction on technique and theory, as well as proper stage pyrotechnics safety. Students of all ages and skill levels receive enjoyable and educational instruction on all style of music, ensuring that their dreams of playing for a cover band of their favorite tribute band is well within reach.

Guitar Hero may be an enjoyable game, but a real instrument wielded with dazzling musical precision is much more impressive than clickety-clack button-mashing solos. Amy K Music nurtures its students’ musical abilities in a helpful and enjoyable environment that paves the road for a rapid ascent to stardom, minus the sophomore slump, much-publicized meltdown, and reality TV show on VH1. Call at least three days ahead to schedule your first lesson.
