Katherine L. says, "James Wengrow was the guitarist, MD, and producer for the music of my wedding last fall. From the initial consultation to the very last dance, James made sure the process for hiring our wedding band was simple, seamless and made for an incredible reception. His experience and knowledge was recognizable from our the first call — we had our reception at a gorgeous, spacious museum with over 200 guests. He made multiple recommendations about the set list, the number of musicians, sound engineers, equipment, etc. throughout the process and was transparent about expectations and costs the whole time. He did a ton of research to find what would be best for us, sourced everything and kept us filled in every step of the way which was hugely reassuring. He also took into account our preferences for music genres and made sure the set list and instruments reflected our tastes. James expertly organized the band—all highly talented musicians—who played jazz standards in guitar/bass/drums format for the cocktail hour and then a full band playing pop, rock, and R&B hits from multiple decades for the main event. The singer, Leah Rich, was incredible, and James' impressive skills on the guitar were also noted by many guests - he was absolutely shredding! The music was amazing and had everyone dancing, and we had so many compliments from our family and friends about how awesome the band sounded. James also went above and beyond during two snafus—one, by keeping us on schedule for our first dance when our event coordinator dropped the ball, and second, by adjusting the setlist on the fly when there was a medical emergency AND then by keeping the mood up—his adaptability and professionalism were huge assets when things went awry. I’m not over-exaggerating when I say our night was perfect in no small part due to James & the amazing band — he was truly the best, and we would recommend him to anyone looking to book a stellar group for their wedding/any other event!!"See more

Anthony S. says, "Ziggy is the best. I’ve been itching to get back into learning guitar ever since I put it down a decade ago. Super friendly, super knowledgeable, the guy will listen to your goals and tailor your lessons to better fit them. Even better, he does house calls. I couldn’t recommend him enough. 10/10."See more

He’s incredibly professional, talented, and truly pushed me to be better than I thought possible. Matt believed in me, and because of that, I’ve grown into a much stronger guitar player. His focus and patience created a comfortable learning environment where I felt encouraged to challenge myself. Overall, Matt is a great guy and an even better teacher—I highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their skills."See more

Joy C. says, "Brad is amazing! As a person he is easy to talk to and as a teacher he is very patient and incredibly clear. He is very knowledgeable and actively encourages students to explore and go beyond what is written in the sheet music. He always makes sure that lessons are going at a comfortable pace, and that pieces are enjoyable to listen to and learn. He is quick to point out things I need to fix, and he makes theory and techniques easy to understand and remember. I greatly appreciated his lessons and his understanding of my crazy schedule. :)"See more

Tim E. says, "If you're looking for a top-notch blues guitar teacher, I highly recommend Eric Heideman. This guy is legit! I tried learning guitar in high school by taking lessons, but could never make sense of it. Since then I've picked up the guitar off and on without any meaningful improvement. That's changed now that I'm working with Eric. His deep understanding of blues techniques-including slide guitar-and his ability to break down complex concepts make learning both enjoyable and rewarding. Eric's teaching style helps you develop an authentic blues tone and feel. If you want to improve your playing while learning from a true working musician, Eric is the guy to go to. Simply put, if I had found Eric way back when I was in high school, I would’ve never stopped playing."See more
