Founder and music educator
A school built around long-term musical growth.
Find Your Sound was founded by guitarist, composer, performer, and educator Sam Burns. His teaching emphasizes clarity, listening, structure, creativity, and musical understanding so students can grow confidently instead of relying on memorization alone.
Sam oversees the school’s educational direction and teacher matching while continuing to work with select students.
