A Message from the Owner

I love the guitar! I have been a player for 56 years. Following graduation from Texas A&M University in 1978, I started my company Texas Music Arts and have been professionally teaching guitar for 38 years now. Helping people to master the instrument has been my great privilege and passion throughout those years. I have taught folks male and female of all ages from all walks of life. I am a people person and always strive to develop a strong friendship with each student which I know results in a relaxed and positive learning environment. I also tailor my teaching methods to fit the goals of the individual student. I offer a free thirty minute introductory lesson so e-mail or call. I would love to have you as my next student!
 
Take care,
 
Wallie Smith

Testimonials

I’ve been a student for 6 years. Every week I look forward to my lessons with the Lama. My guitar playing would be nowhere near it is currently without his great instruction. Best instructor in Houston by far.

I’ve been taking lessons from Wallie for the past few years. I have learned so much, everything from scales, theory, triads, fingerstyle, and countless songs. Wallie can teach you anything you want to learn at the best price in town.

Wallie is a really good teacher because he is challenging but is understanding. If you are having a hard time, he will just spend the next lesson practicing what you find hard. He is really easy to talk to and doesn’t intimidate you. He laughs a lot and that makes the lesson fun.

“Mr. Wallie” as my son calls him is terrific with little ones who want to learn guitar. He is so patient. Adam started lessons with Mr. Wallie when he was 5 and he had my son playing chords immediately. He has kept my son engaged with his light-hearted personality and stories, all the while teaching him guitar. My son is almost 7 now and friends and family are amazed at how well he can play the guitar at such a young age.
