Ananda was great to work with. Our wedding party loved the music he played, and also he went out of his way to team up with a violinist as per our request who made the Guitar and violin duo so elegant, and amazing. Played a couple of his songs, and songs we requested that were meaningful to us. Definitely made the start of the wedding very special, and the cocktail hour absolutely great. Thank you so much.

Ananda arrived to the venue punctually and ready to provide high quality guitar playing. He was easy to talk to and responded to emails/messages promptly. During out Annual Fund Raising Gala, Ananda provided guitar music for the cocktail hour and eventually transitioned to playing guitar after the welcome message and keynote. He provided a calm, soothing environment with his guitar music and when he was away he would have something playing to keep the mood of the night going. Thank you, Ananda!

Ananda is great- super mellow during sessions, yet very involved and always willing to adapt to lesson wants/needs. Ananda also has an amazing ability to hold you accountable to better your guitar skills in a very professional manner. Taking lessons from Amanda is more like playing with a friend, rather than playing for an instructor
