Sharp and Flat, a new music school in Litchfield/Bantam with a focus on small town and community creative growth, has just celebrated its six-month anniversary. The school is the first of this branding of the Guitar Cities schools, which are located in New York, London, Chicago and San Francisco.

Lessons at Sharp and Flat are taught in a low-stress format, meeting once a week for a half-hour or full-hour lesson, and follow a program developed by the Guitar Cities instructors based on experiences as instructors and careers as touring and recording professionals. Students also have the opportunity to apply their instruction by writing and recording their own songs on professional studio equipment.

“I picked this location as I love the creative community that continues to develop here, as well as much of my training for Team USA in the modern pentathlon and triathlon happens in the area, between Bethlehem, Litchfield, New Milford, and New York,” explains James Lenger, the Guitar Cities schools’ founder.
