Karen B. says, "I've been taking guitar lessons for a few months with Alan, and he has been fantastic! He listens to my goals and caters the lessons towards my interests and skill level. As an example, although he is classically trained, I didn't want to take the classical approach, so I'm learning guitar through pop music. He is encouraging, gives thoughtful response to all my questions, and peppers in bits of music theory in each lesson. He also does vocal training, which wasn't in my initial scope of criteria, but is much appreciated! I recommend music lessons with Alan! :)"See more

Jack A. says, "I've been taking guitar lessons from Will for a year or so and cannot recommend him enough. Coming in I had a tiny bit of experience with the guitar, but will made sure to cover all of the foundational techniques so that I felt well supported in my abilities. He's clearly a fantastic musician in addition to being a patient teacher, and I've loved getting to pick his brain about some of my favorite songs and the guitar concepts that go into them. Whether you're a beginner or have been playing for a few years I think Will is a great fit, because he really meets you where you're at with each lesson. I can't wait to keep getting better and learning from him!"See more
