Great experience with the first lesson. Ryan was very patient with my child and got her excited again to play guitar. Ryan was organized and using the portal to log the lesson and goal for the next lesson. It has the parent login which is perfect for me to find out my child's progress in detail vs. traditionally, it is usually a quick few minutes chat with the instructor or email to find out your child's progress. Thanks, Ryan, we look forward to your lessons.

Currently, my son is receiving guitar lessons from Ryan on Fridays. Ryan is always very positive when interacting with my son and provides my son with the positive feedback he needs in order to advance his skills. If you want your child to have a positive and fun experience while learning a new skill you should most definitely chose Ryan as their instructor!
