Guitar Center Maple Grove 11561 Fountain Dr. N Maple Grove, MN
My name is Kismat D Shrestha, 30, originally from Nepal. Music has always been one of the top priorities in my life. Initially music came to me in the form beating the drums. I started playing drums at the age of six and since then there has been no looking back. Playing in bands and groups right from my childhood helped me learn the intricacies of music making first hand. I joined Kathmandu Jazz Conservatory in 2008 and this made a big positive change in my musical living. Playing with different visiting teachers, playing in Combos, Big Band, learning music theories, jazz theories, jazz history, piano, guitar etc helped me furthermore in gaining detailed knowledge of what music is, especially jazz. For the past 9 years or so I have also been involved with one of the most popular rock groups of the country, Albatross. After releasing the fourth album of the band entitled Ma Ra Malai, I have travelled around the globe with Albatross as well as as many different bands and artists. From the US, the Uk, Finland, Australia, New Zealand to India, Bangladesh, Hong Kong, Thailand, Dubai(UAE) to name a few. I endorse Vater drumsticks and Istanbul Cymbals

Hi, I'm Dustin, a music instructor at the Maple Grove Guitar Center. I have been teaching guitar for 10 years now. Music is my passion and sharing my joy for it with others is the best gig! In 2014 I graduated McNally Smith College of Music with a Bachelor of Arts in Music Performance. I also have 15 years of professional performance experience. Currently I'm composing another record with my progressive rock band By the Thousands. As an instructor, I approach each student differently; as we all learn in our own unique way! Although my focus lies primarily in Rock and Metal, I have expertise in teaching Jazz, Blues, Country, and Classical as well. I'm looking forward to teaching you!

Hi, I'm John. I am an instructor at Maple Grove Guitar Center. I studied at MacPhail's for classical guitar and vocals, and have been playing the guitar for decades. I've done recording with Joey Moen from Bad Finger, and live performance with groups such as Crow, The Litter, and currently Artisan. I enjoy working with both beginner and intermediate level students of all ages. I am proficient in rock, soul, country, R'N'B, blues and pop. I like to focus on melody, and dive into techniques while forming good habits and breaking the bad habits. I can help you get to next level playing whether you are looking to play rhythm, lead, or are unsure of where you'd like to begin. My goal is to instill a lifelong love for music and guitar, such as myself, to those I work with.

Frequently Asked Questions
Each instructor customizes lessons to ensure you are learning what you like and having fun. Your instructor will start you slowly, introducing new concepts each week, plus give you exercises or easy songs to play to keep you learning at home.
Learning an instrument is an enriching and rewarding experience that creates lifelong benefits, including increased self-esteem and the boosting of memory. Additionally, benefits for school-age individuals can include improved coordination, the expanding of social skills, and higher scores in math, reading and language.
30-minute lessons allow young or beginner students to learn the basics of the instrument and start playing songs. 60-minute lessons are ideal for more advanced students looking to progress faster and focus on the finer points of technique.
This varies by age and the type of goals the student has set out to achieve. However, most new students usually spend 15–30 min. practicing daily, while advanced students can practice for an hour or more each day in between lessons.
Our flexible curriculum allows students of all skill levels to experience growth. We help create a foundational understanding of music theory through the style of music you want to play. Our instructors will work to understand your goals and passions, and make sure you are on the path to learning what you want at your own speed.
Our Lessons staff will work with you to determine your current skill level, stylistic interest and ambitions. We'll then help you choose an instructor who best suits your style and goals. If at any point, you'd like to change instructors, let us know. Our weekly monitoring of progress and wide-ranging curriculum means you can switch to any of our qualified instructors, or another instrument, without missing a beat.
