Introduction: My name is Z, owner of the Z Guitar Studio in Powell Ohio. I started performing music over 30 years ago, teaching and playing in Europe and in the US. You can learn electric and acoustic guitars, bass, mandolin, and ukulele on the lessons. I teach beginner to performance level students online using Zoom. Teens, adults, retired people, siblings, parents with children - everyone is welcome! I understand that we all have different goals in music, so I teach important skills to my students according to their goals in music. You can get a taste of learning and strumming chords, playing solos, composition, arranging, music theory, improvisation, ear training, reading, and chord progressions. We can can learn pop, rock, funk, folk, blues or jazz. I also prep students for college music major programs. No matter if you are a beginner or want to restart your studies, I will help you to discover the musician inside yourself.

I’ve been taking lessons with Z for about 8 months now and absolutely love it. Aside from teaching what he thinks is valuable, he also makes the lessons fun and entertaining. I’d highly recommend him to anyone trying to reach the next step!

Z is a wonderful teacher. He takes the time to explain concepts and makes you as a student figure things out. While at times content of his lessons have been difficult, his ability to make you figure things out on your own with his guidance goes a long way towards retaining what he is teaching. His overall demeanor and knowledge of jazz are second to none. I would recommend in a heartbeat!

Z Guitar Studio's reply

Justin, I am always looking forward to your lessons. It is exciting to help you understand and explore advanced concepts and ideas in music and in jazz. Improvisation, chord solos, and jazz voicings are not light subjects to learn, but you are on the right track and I have no doubt that with that high level of enthusiasm and diligence you show week after week you'll reach your goals in music sooner than you'd think. Thank you very much for your review! See you next week - Z

Great teacher! After two lessons I am optimistic that I will learn a great amount! Very good at breaking down to basics but never a boring lesson.

Definitely would recommend Z if you’re looking to get the next level at guitar. Crazy talented musician and is always flexible with lessons. He caterers to my hectic schedule and never complains about it either. Also give real and genuine feedback on my progress, which helps motivate me to get in the lad and practice.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I offer 30 to 60 minutes online lessons weekly, 4 times in a month. Payment for the month is due at the beginning of the month by at the first lesson. You can pay by check, venmo or zelle using your bank's app on your phone. There are no hidden costs, fees, add-ons, exceptions or business gimmicks.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I offer a free intro lesson online or in-person at a time convenient to you. You can contact me via email, text or call to sign up. This free trial is a great opportunity for you to get familiar with my background and teaching style, and at the same time I can learn about your musical goals and taste, your dreams and expectations from the lessons. I'll follow up after the lesson to get your feedback and to set you up on a regular schedule if you choose to start your studies with me.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have over 30 years of experience playing in Europe and in the US. I hold a Bachelor degree in performing arts on guitar. My experience as a performer covers blues, jazz, funk, rock, pop, musical theater performances, big band swing, and other genres of music. Time to time I also write songs and working on arrangements, and working in theater productions playing electric and acoustic guitars, banjo, mandolin or ukulele.
