Richard S. says, "Ahmad is an easy going teacher who kicks my butt at the same time. He's a stickler for the foundational elements, which is exactly what I need to take my guitar playing to the next level. He is truly interested in seeing me improve. I'm a songwriter and I need to up my game to be able to hang with co-writers who are more advanced musically, and I also have the goal to play out at writers rounds and open mics and I need to get a little more proficient for that. We're playing acoustic. We've done both Skype and in-person lessons. Highly recommended. Good location. Update: I recently joined his Guitar Mastery Apprenticeship program, and it is fantastic. Wish I joined earlier. I want to make a living out of my passion playing guitar and Ahmad said he can help. He did! 3 month into the program I am making more than $10k/month from performing and publishing songs. Next month is on pace to beat that amount! I like and appreciate Ahmad!"See more

Josh G. says, "Jack is a very supportive and experienced player/teacher. I see immediate improvements as Jack tailors the instruction for the way I hold and play the guitar. After a couple lessons I’m confident that I’ll be playing songs quickly. I’m glad to have Jack as part of my guitar learning experience!"See more

Teodora V. says, "Moma is a great teacher. He was very observant of my skills and progress and managed to tune the lessons according to my level and abilities. Learning how to play the guitar was a breeze with him. I enjoyed the classes and did not feel that it was difficult. I made a lot of progress with him. Thank you Moma!"See more

Caleb S. says, "I have been playing guitar lightly on and off for 30 years. I have been around guitar enough to somewhat discern talent and skill. When I decided I wanted to start over and learn classical guitar from a professional teacher I went hunting for a great teacher. Before starting lessons with Peter I met with a couple other guitar teachers and gauged them against others I have known. I chose Peter because I found him to be everything I was looking for. Peter is smart. He is both a highly skilled player and a talented teacher. He is dedicated to teaching guitar vs teachers who don’t primarily play guitar or teachers who don’t have any training in guitar pedagogy. Peter is a great communicator in general, which has helped us navigate my complicated schedule and tailor my instruction to my needs and interests. Peter seems to be flexible and realistic with the curriculum he devised for me and the goals we set. Peter has a great personality for teaching. In the journey of developing guitar skill, I think he is a great guide. He knows the art, he knows how to teach it, he knows how to do hard things, how to overcome challenges, and he has a deep trove of experiences to draw from in lessons. My lessons with him have been fun, helpful, and well structured. For the kind of guitar playing I am interested in, my search is over, Peter is a great teacher."See more

Ashley S. says, "I love working with Austin. Not only is he a super talented musician, he's also a genuinely great teacher. He has this rare ability to explain things clearly while keeping the vibe light and fun, and he always makes me feel comfortable (even when I feel like I'm asking dumb questions😅) What really stands out is his personality. He's funny, kind, and incredibly personable. He meets you where you're at and knows exactly how to motivate, and I look forward to every lesson. Thanks so much Austin, you're one of those teachers who makes a real difference."See more
