Joy C. says, "Brad is amazing! As a person he is easy to talk to and as a teacher he is very patient and incredibly clear. He is very knowledgeable and actively encourages students to explore and go beyond what is written in the sheet music. He always makes sure that lessons are going at a comfortable pace, and that pieces are enjoyable to listen to and learn. He is quick to point out things I need to fix, and he makes theory and techniques easy to understand and remember. I greatly appreciated his lessons and his understanding of my crazy schedule. :)"See more

Junichi A. says, "I’m a full-time musician from Japan with over 20 years of experience on bass guitar. Ameya is one of the most extraordinary guitarists I’ve ever had the pleasure to play with. We’re currently touring with Lisa Lisa, performing in packed, sold-out arenas where his skill, creativity, and professionalism shine on every stage. Booking him as your teacher is a rare opportunity—you’ll learn so much from his deep musical knowledge and genuine passion for teaching. Don’t wait—his schedule fills up fast!"See more

Winston K. says, "June is a great teacher!!!! We are doing lessons over Zoom (most of the time) as we live in different cities. I think this would make it difficult to teach but it hasn't at all. Her knowledge of music is vast. I am an advanced player and I wanted t learn music theory and broaden my musical vocabulary. I had learned some theory before but it was while taking piano lessons and it wasn't translating well to guitar. We have been working together maybe 10 months now and her teaching has had a positive effect on my playing. I have a better understanding of what I'm doing and hearing intervals has become much easier. We are progressing into modes and working on Jazz chord progressions now and with a bit of work on my part I am becoming a better musician. If you want to learn the Guitar or Bass or music theory and composition you couldn't ask for a better teacher. Her patience and upbeat attitude make her joy work with!!!"See more

Mackenzie V. says, "Jaime is the best! My schedule changes all the time and he is more than accommodating. I tried to teach myself guitar for a couple years and could never get the hang of it. I’ve only been working with Jaime a few months and made great progress! I’d recommend him to anyone, young or old!"See more

Tim E. says, "If you're looking for a top-notch blues guitar teacher, I highly recommend Eric Heideman. This guy is legit! I tried learning guitar in high school by taking lessons, but could never make sense of it. Since then I've picked up the guitar off and on without any meaningful improvement. That's changed now that I'm working with Eric. His deep understanding of blues techniques-including slide guitar-and his ability to break down complex concepts make learning both enjoyable and rewarding. Eric's teaching style helps you develop an authentic blues tone and feel. If you want to improve your playing while learning from a true working musician, Eric is the guy to go to. Simply put, if I had found Eric way back when I was in high school, I would’ve never stopped playing."See more
