we are on a mission
We started Loog not just to help kids play guitar, but to foster curiosity around music. From Beatles and Prince, to the history of punk rock, to the science of sound waves, to why there are so many metal bands in Finland. With Loog, kids get to play, learn and fall in love with music right from day one!
