Doug Norton -- Doug is the owner of the business, and has a background as a writer, musician, singer, producer, and sound engineer. Prior to moving to Poquoson in 2003, Doug toured with several top gospel groups for many years. He is also a published songwriter, and his song "Behold the Man of Galilee" occupied the Billboard gospel chart for several weeks in 1990. He has also worked as minister of music in churches, and has trained choirs and vocal ensembles with blend and diction. Due to his duties involving store management and outside professional shows, Mr. Norton has a very limited student load, and is no longer accepting new students.

Mike Famiglietti is an exceptional guitarist, and is our primary guitar instructor. He studied Commercial Music at the University of Memphis, and is now studying theory and composition at Christopher Newport University. He is well-versed in all contemporary and classical guitar styles, and also has a strong grasp of theory, which he emphasizes in his lessons. Our students love him! He is available on Monday and Wednesday.

Tim Wood is well-known in the area schools as a marching drum specialist, and we are extremely fortunate to have him on our staff. In addition to his drum skills, he is a phenomenal guitarist, and is well-versed in classical guitar and heavy metal. He is available daily except Fridays.

Joseph Montano is our newest staffer, and comes to us from Herndon, VA. He is a student at Old Dominion University, with a double major in Music Composition and Elementary Music Education.
