The Academy of Fretted Instruments (AoFI) specializes in both private and group music
instruction, taught exclusively on guitar, mandolin, banjo and bass. Our instructors hold
degrees in music and specialize in particular areas, including classical, bluegrass, country,
rock and blues. We help absolute beginners experience the joys of playing a musical
instrument—and we help experienced musicians open their minds to new ideas through
music theory and improvisation. The only thing we offer at AoFI is the knowledge we
share with our students about music.
