    Distance: mi
    Guitar Center Cerritos 11155 183rd St. Cerritos, CA
    Megan didn’t start her musical journey until she was eighteen, but she has always been drawn to the power of music - how it connects and allows us to express what words can’t. From the moment she plucked the guitar by its strings, she knew that she had found her passion. Growing up, she didn’t have the opportunity to take lessons, which is why she is so committed to helping others discover their love for music. For the past three years, she has been teaching and loves tailoring her approach to each student’s unique way of learning. It’s incredibly rewarding for her to guide others on their own musical journey and watch them develop both as musicians and individuals.​
