Our Story

Founded in 2025, Accelerate Guitar Academy grew from a passion for sharing music online into a thriving guitar learning community. After beginning to create acoustic and electric guitar content in late 2024, Bushin’s videos have reached over 15 million views across Instagram and TikTok, with a growing community of 10,000+ followers on Meta platforms. This momentum led to working with students of all ages and skill levels, from complete beginners to advanced players.

At Accelerate Guitar Academy, we believe learning guitar should be exciting, rewarding, and confidence-building. Our structured and practical teaching approach helps students play real music quickly while building strong fundamentals that last a lifetime. Beyond improving musical skills, we aim to nurture creativity, focus, and self-expression, helping students grow not just as guitarists but as individuals through the power of music.

Our Mission Statement

1. Our mission is to create a meaningful and lasting impact on your child’s life through music.

2. We aim to help every student build a positive relationship with music, where playing guitar brings joy, strengthens self confidence, and provides a healthy outlet for stress and social anxiety.

3. We guide students to become lifelong guitar players, developing skills and songs they can carry with them to connect with friends, family, and themselves for years to come.

4. We are committed to fostering a welcoming and inclusive guitar community where both students and parents feel supported, connected, and part of a family of motivated musicians.
