    Great camp program. R learned to play "Counting Stars" by OneRepublic on guitar in less than a week. We were truly blown away by how quickly he was able to learn with Miguel's instruction. With so many choices out there, I highly recommend BMA.

    Professional instructors with actual experience. Suuuuuuuper rare to find educators who can teach you what you need to know for the real gig environment. THANK YOU BACKBEAT!

    John Lamb has a deep understanding of music in totality. He has published many books on drumming, one of which I know has been embraced by modern icon Chris Dave. So if Chris Dave has essentially taken lessons from John, I'm going to guess that we all could benefit from taking some lessons from John. John probably helped me most with my vocals as he directed me to some fundamental literature that helped show me the way. Am I a great singer? No. Am I better than I was 2 years ago, without hesitation. I'm also looking forward to reading John's newest book, anatomy of guitar, as I'm sure it will translate to my bass work. John also has more patience that I could ever dream of so he is an ideal teacher for beginners on up. He will listen to you and help you reach your goals. Can't recommend enough!
