The Sound Room was born in December of 2022, and already has a great reputation.
Owner/Operator of The Sound Room, Austin Barrett, has given music lessons for over a decade, and has taught hundreds of students here in Asheville, as well as around the country AND THE WORLD over the internet.
A writers, players, and performers, the teachers at The Sound Room really know how to get to the core of what the student wants to achieve, and very intuitively helps them achieve it. Whether that’s jamming around the campfire, practicing for the next big gig, or just getting started, The Sound Room’s curriculum was built to get you there in the shortest time possible.
“The Sound Room is about more than learning the guitar. In fact, for most people, it won’t end up being about that at all. In theory, anybody who knows how to play could teach how to play. But after hundreds of students over about 12 years, I realize it’s about connection. It’s about connection, discipline, and habits. So much of our youth today needs this connection and mentorship and my goal is that they’ll develop many life skills that they’ll carry with them through adulthood, and it’s not much different for the adults. They often need that outside perspective and just a little bit of structure to their goals. Either way, at any age and at any level of playing, it’s about forming that connection with somebody who understands. I took guitar lessons from age 5-11, and I’ll always remember my teacher, so I know the impact firsthand. I hope my students will remember me as well.”
