Ana Lete

"It’s rare to find a guitar instructor as well rounded as Ana. She has industry experience as a recording artist, and is grounded in music theory and classical methods. To say that she contains a wealth of knowledge is an understatement. This is what I was looking for when I searched for an instructor and I was not disappointed. Ana has a way of taking you through the basics while also catering to your style interests. She had me learning basic beginner knowledge of the guitar and how to play while also integrating my preference for fingerstyle technique into my practices. With her lesson planning and guidance, I learned more than I thought possible in such a short period of time. She is also incredibly intuitive when approaching the guitar as an art form, and knows how to take you from notes on a page to something that sounds beautiful. Ana is not the instructor you hire if you just want to learn songs. She will help you to become a musician. Thanks for everything, Ana :) "

"I’ve been taking lessons with Ana for a few months now and love it. She’s super patient, extremely knowledgeable, and always willing to answer any questions you have. Ana will support and help you work toward your guitar goals while also providing knowledge about music theory (which is something I wanted to learn more about). This is my second time taking lessons with a guitar teacher and it’s a lot more enjoyable this time around and a big reason for that is because of Ana and her teaching."

-- Grace D.

"Ana is a wonderful musician and teacher. She gives expert guidance on proper technique in many guitar styles. She was a recommendation from a friend and has since taught both me and my son (10 years old)."

“After almost six months of trying to self-teach using a variety of online resources, I felt like I had reached a plateau. Even worse, I wasn’t really sure how to figure out a direction to go. The opportunity to learn from Ana came up and I decided to give it a try as the next step in my journey. So glad I did. Ana has a great program that set forth a road map for students and got me back in gear on my journey.”

"I happened across Ana's class at exactly the right time for me! I'd been wanting to learn guitar but was quite overwhelmed by the prospect. Ana's class was the perfect way to begin. It not only gave me the basics needed to get started, but the variety of information provided along with the various avenues to ask questions and get input allowed me to explore my specific interests. She's very knowledgeable and approachable and I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to learn from her."

“I kept saying I wanted to learn to play guitar, but never took steps to make it happen beyond a couple of lessons a few years ago. I love music so much, and need more activities that are relaxing. When we spoke on the phone, your program seemed like a perfect fit. The scheduled coaching calls, weekly classes, and practical application were all very positive for my learning style. I fell behind, but was able to pick it back up when it worked for me. Even with a little time away, I feel much further along playing guitar than ever. It [Guitar Success Academy] taught me everything I need to know to be successful, gave me a platform to work with moving forward, [and got me] playing my first ever song on a guitar (any musical instrument, really). The program is set up really well to maximize information and allow you the flexibility to work it into your learning/playing. Having access to past classes via video is very helpful when you need to revisit a topic or just see it again with a fresh perspective. The coaching calls are very helpful for specific questions and tips, and to hear where others are succeeding or struggling…. having the [Facebook] community available is a bonus as well.”

”Ana. I can't thank you enough for your kind and gentle way of supporting me as a beginner. I can get a little (a LOT) in my own way and frustrated with the early steps of learning a new skill. Your flexible and encouraging approach made it so much easier to keep trying. You are clearly doing what you were put on this earth to do and I'm grateful for you.” 

— Carlyn, OT-Coach. 

"Ana's course (Guitar Success Academy) is a comprehensive overview of fundamental guitar theory, technique, and practice discipline. She uses an effective combination of video lectures and demonstrations, homework, handouts, external resources, video coaching sessions, and social media interaction to keep her students engaged and moving forward. When I started the GSA program, I had been trying to teach myself using online videos, which were helpful, but didn't provide me with the focus, direction, and perspective I needed. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that playing finger-style was within my reach, even as a beginner. I feel that GSA has provided me with a very solid foundation on which to build my skills with practice."

" Taking lessons with Ana was my first guitar lesson experience. She creates a very supportive and relaxed atmosphere which was helpful for me to find focus. She plays beautifully and I personally found her classical training to be of benefit. I was delightfully surprised that after only a few lessons and no previous training, I was able to read and play the lessons in short order. Ana helped me to build my confidence and she was very flexible when it came to lesson schedules. I had to put lessons on hold, but I can't wait to sit down again with Ana. This girl has a passion for music and it comes through with each lesson. Thanks Ana!"
