The Guitar Academy of Western North Carolina was founded in 1997 in Hendersonville by Director, Michael Ridenour.  Since its conception, the Guitar Academy has gained a reputation for its high caliber instructors and music curriculum.  All of our instructors hold advanced degrees in their field of study and possess decades of teaching and professional performing experience.  The Guitar Academy is centered on the philosophy of giving all of our students a balanced music education through musicianship training and technical discipline.  We have something for the entire family; whether it's private guitar and bass lessons, ensembles and bands, special topic music classes, or music theory and ear training classes.  Our approach and results separate us from other music schools in the area.  Give us a call at 828-775-7841 to discuss your musical future.
