A little history:
I started out as Double Conscious Philosophy and Music to help people create music with meaning in 2016, yet “Grant Us Guitar” was easier to communicate.
I started teaching some friends for free to get experience and gained confidence to teach guitar at other music schools and stores while getting my degree in Philosophy at CSUEB.
I studied theory of knowledge, science, and ethics so I wanted to create a course that gives you the proper learning structure with a consistent method that values your choice and reduces suffering. Hence the No Bars Held Method.
