The Childbloom Guitar Program began in 1980 by Kevin Taylor, of Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas. It was the first national program to introduce young kids to music through the guitar. Our goal has always been to provide kids with the skill and literacy necessary to allow them to go into whatever musical direction they wish. Since then, it has grown to over 25 locations in North America (U.S. and Canada) and more than 60 instructors.

Joshua Aguilar

Mr. Aguilar graduated with his Bachelor's in Classical Guitar Performance from Texas State University. He's a Texas native, originally from El Paso, where his love for music began at the age of 13. He began playing bass guitar which evolved to electrical guitar and eventually embraced classical guitar in high school. During this time he studied with great guitarists and had opportunities to perform for musicians such as The Santa Fe Guitar Quartet. He had the privilege of studying under the tutelage of Mark Cruz at Texas State. He's recently married and lives with his wife in San Marcos.

​Josh's Teaching Philosophy

​Music is an enrichment tool that has been given to us to enhance our lives. Every child should have the opportunity to express themselves in a way that the world can understand. Music gives everyone that opportunity, and the sooner we are introduced to it the sooner we are able to develop those skills. Music builds confidence, strengthens relationships, improves discipline and focus, which all lead to a better quality of life. It humbles me to be able to be a part of something so powerful and fun!
