Equipped with acoustic and electric guitar proficiency, I'm eager to share my love for music and help others discover the joy of playing.

"I took a beginner and beginner/intermediate class through Universal Rackets, and they were both great! Very informative, not intimidating for a beginner, and Corey as an instructor brings a lot of great coaching techniques and made the sessions unique to what the group’s improvement needs were. Would highly recommend taking a clinic if you’re thinking about it.
