Today’s Guest
Simon Edgell is the owner of Guitar Players Edge Academy located in Melbourne’s western suburbs. Before starting his academy, he spent almost as much time working in music retail stores as he has playing guitar. From these decades of experience, Simon has seen from both sides of the fence how important your local music store can be in your students’ lives and ultimately your business lives, too. Since trading in his lanyard for his classrooms, he can now attest to how important it can be to have the local retail music shop on your side to create an ecosystem of community helping each other to be stronger.
