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

Learning music should be exciting, practical, and tailored to your goals—not one-size-fits-all. I’m a New York City-based singer, actor, and musician with a Master of Music in Vocal Performance from Brooklyn College Conservatory of Music and a Bachelor of Music from Indiana University Jacobs School of Music. As a performer, I’ve appeared at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, 54 Below, and in the acclaimed immersive Off-Broadway production of Into the Woods. Most recently, I performed as Lead Guitar and Vocals aboard MSC Seascape with The Midnight Riders. As a teacher, I believe results speak louder than résumés. My students have been accepted into some of the top performing arts schools across the country, earned leading roles in school and community productions, developed stronger and healthier voices, and built the confidence to perform at a higher level. I’ve helped aspiring musicians grow from complete beginners into confident performers, while coaching more experienced artists into becoming working regional musicians and stronger live performers. Whether you’re preparing for college auditions, Broadway, your first open mic, songwriting, live performance, or simply learning an instrument for fun, every lesson is personalized to your goals. I teach voice, guitar, and bass for students of all experience levels, focusing on efficient technique, musicality, confidence, creativity, and real-world performance skills. No fluff. No wasted time. Just practical lessons designed to help you become the musician you want to be.See more

Melanie K. says, "I highly recommend Jaime to anyone wanting to learn guitar, whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to improve. Before I started taking lessons with him over a year ago, I had only dabbled with guitar and couldn’t really play. I have a very busy job, and I wanted to do something creative outside of work. Taking online lessons has been the perfect solution because it’s convenient and has allowed me to stay consistent. Even though the lessons are online, Jaime does an excellent job demonstrating techniques, correcting my playing, and providing clear instruction. He’s incredibly patient and explains everything in a way that’s easy to understand. He breaks techniques down into manageable steps, so I never felt overwhelmed. He tailors each lesson to my goals rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach, which has kept me motivated to continue learning. He also gives clear guidance on what to practice between lessons, so my practice time is productive. One of my goals was to learn classical guitar while also learning chords and Jaime’s been able to teach me both by learning to read and play guitar tabs. Jaime is always professional, prepared, and punctual, and every lesson feels worthwhile. As a busy working professional, I especially appreciate that he’s helped me make steady progress without needing to spend hours practicing every day. He’s made something I thought was beyond my abilities feel completely achievable. If you’ve always wanted to learn guitar but thought it was too difficult or that you didn’t have enough time, I can honestly say he’s made it possible for me. A year ago I never imagined I’d be playing classical pieces as well as some pop rock songs. His patience, teaching style, and ability to teach so effectively online have made all the difference. I can’t recommend him highly enough."See more

Anna B. says, "I have been taking lessons from Payton for a few months now and I've had a great experience with him as my guitar teacher. I'm a complete beginner, but he's been super easy to learn from and always takes the time to explain things thoroughly and in different ways so you could find what works best for you. He does a great job balancing teaching the basics and techniques while also making time to work on what you want to learn and play. I've improved a lot with his lessons, way more than I would have on my own. I would recommend him if you are looking to learn or improve your skills, especially if you are a beginner, because he can guide you and correct your technique so you don't form bad habits early on. He's super supportive and encourages you to push yourself. At my first lesson I didn't have picks yet so he gave me two to keep which was really kind. I've really enjoyed learning from Payton and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a supportive guitar instructor."See more
