As I was walking down 24th Avenue one afternoon, I spotted a small music store with bouzoukia hanging in the window.  Having had an interest in learning how to play bouzouki, I entered the store to inquire as to the price of an instrument, and, to see if lessons were offered.  After speaking with Dino for a while I asked him to make me an instrument within my budget.  I immediately started taking lessons, and found it very rewarding and gratifying.  Whenever I am there playing, it relaxes my mind and makes me feel as if I am in another world.  The atmosphere and the environment for learning is great.  I have progressed a lot since I first started.  I would recommend this to anyone who would like to learn how to play bouzouki or guitar.  Lessons are taught by George Vlesmas a professional musician who is also an excellent teacher.  I want to thank Dino and George for everything and wish them both the best of luck in the future.
