Hired on Thumbtack

Growing up, I had very little exposure to making music. I had no idea how to read music, I had no sense of rhythm, and I had basically no idea what music theory was about. With that said, I had been plucking on the guitar for around 10 years and had been working on some pretty complex songs. The results are that I could play some cool stuff really poorly (I remember trying to play the theme from Pirates of the Caribbean and someone thinking I was playing Flamenco). Austin was able to meet me where I was at. He spent time walking me through music theory, how to use a metronome and what different rhythms should sound like. He also walked me through the sheet music of several pieces that I had wanted to play for quite some time. I slowly developed confidence in playing the pieces that I loved. We shifted our conversation from just playing the right notes to expression. I found I loved playing guitar even more when I had control over how the guitar was speaking. I got a taste of what is means to be a musician. Austin's expertise and approachability both shine through in his lessons. He was always very kind and patient. I never felt dumb, even when my understanding of a topic was remedial, and I could consistently feel Austin's enthusiasm when working with me. Studying with Austin is an easy recommendation for me to give!

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.

Austin is a perfect combination of super knowledgeable, down-to-earth, kind, and effective. He motivates me in a relaxed and encouraging manner. He doesn’t just understand music, he understands people and how to teach them.

Austin was easy to reach and always responsive, offering clear explanations whenever we had questions. He consistently started early and was ready to begin as soon as the student joined. He was also flexible in using theory books we provided and adjusted the material accordingly. Thanks to his guidance, my student went from writing short melodies to composing full songs. Austin is a dedicated and effective teacher—we’ve had a great experience!
