Mark C. says, "I have been working with Jaime for a little over 3 months and I couldn’t be happier. For two years I had been bouncing between teachers and self-teaching with little practical gains and a lot of self-doubt and frustration. As a 50+ aspiring musician/guitarist, I had a lot of desire and aspirations, but very little structure or direction. When I decided to pursue a guitar teach last November, Jaime was 1 of 5 that I interviewed (i.e. “grilled”) in the hope of finding a relatively perfect fit. After 3 weeks of trial lessons, interviews and discussions I settled on Jaime for a number of reasons: 1) flexibility of lessons – we set a standard day and time be he was willing to be flexible with my work and travel schedule; 2) flexibility of payment – he would take per-lesson or per month payment depending on my finances; 3) remote lessons – I travel quite frequently and needed someone who was not only able to do remote lessons, but was also experienced/set-up to perform those lessons; 4) philosophy – Jaime is all about “listening”, and from the first day he said that we would spend a lot of time listening to what/how I player compared to just learning the mechanics of playing; and 5) Jaime is an experienced and educated musician. From the first lesson he was able to diagnose and correct a number of mistakes I was making – how to hold the pick, string muting, alternate picking, poor beat recognition, posture. Although these first lessons were frustrating for me, his ability and willingness to correct these mistakes has paid HUGE dividends. I cannot recall how I was sitting, picking or playing 3 months ago, but I can say for a fact I am more efficient and proficient. As for the lessons, I feel we have been making steady progress. My speed is up, my ear is better, I have more confidence in my playing, and I enjoy practicing again. Not once during this time did Jaime make me feel inferior that my inexperience was a burden. He ACTIVELY listens during all my lessons – something my previous teachers did not. He sees and hears how I am playing and calls me out – good or bad – when needed. I cannot stress how important and instrumental this is in learning a new instrument – you need to catch those bad habits early and often! I feel I have a good head for music theory – but music theory doesn’t play the guitar. Jaime has helped me start to bridge the gap between knowing and doing; in the end we want to play music – not just study it. I couldn’t be happier with my decision to have Jaime as my teacher, and I look forward to what the next year(s) will bring working with him. I would endorse him to be anyone’s teacher without reservation."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

Gurleen K. says, "Scotty is singlehandedly the best guitar teacher I have ever hired, and this statement comes from someone who has been taking guitar lessons since 2011. What sets Scotty apart is his remarkable ability to listen attentively while simultaneously pushing me to surpass my limited knowledge of the guitar. Instead of relying on rote memorization, he instills in me a deep understanding of the instrument. One of the things I appreciate most about Scotty is his knack for tailoring our lessons to suit my individual needs and aspirations. This personal touch truly sets apart Scotty's teaching style and ensures a unique experience for each student. Furthermore, Scotty is incredibly accommodating when it comes to scheduling. He understands that life can be unpredictable, and if I ever need to cancel a lesson, within the 24-window notice, he is understanding and flexible. Additionally, he goes the extra mile by sending me detailed notes after each session, allowing me to practice effectively and make progress between lessons. Scotty's supportive nature creates an environment where I feel comfortable enough to sing and explore my creative side. Above all, Scotty's genuine passion for the guitar shines through in every interaction. I consider myself incredibly fortunate and honored to be his student. Thank you, Scotty, for your dedication and expertise. I eagerly look forward to our upcoming lesson on Wednesday!"See more
