It was May 2011 when I first signed the lease of a tiny basement room in Squirrel Hill to teach guitar out of. It's been a crazy fun journey, and for me personally, the privilege of my life to work with so many amazingly kind, passionate, and creative students, teachers, family members, and administrators. I felt that a fun way to celebrate - and to tell the tale of Sunburst - would be a little trip down memory lane through pictures. This will be the first of two installments covering our whole history. From when we had one room, one teacher, and no students to our 15 room studio, over 20 teachers, and nearly 500 students.
If you have any photos or stories you'd like to share from over the years, we'd love to hear them and include them! Send 'em over via social media, the contact page, or the comments below!

And now, we begin with the great flood of '011...
Well, thanks for coming along for Part 1. That's our history from 2011 to about 2015 when we started to get comfortable in our new space. Check back for Part 2 where we meet new friends, demolish a law office, and make a guitar out of floppy disks...
See you then!
