I take classical guitar lessons from Kevin. I love his emphasis on music theory! Even though I am a very beginner, it helps me with reading and making sense of written music. I would recommend him to anyone who is serious about wanting to learn to play the guitar, especially classical, as he is so well trained in it and an excellent teacher!

Thanks for the review Deborah! Emphasis on theory studies will definitely move things along much faster and provide a more conclusive understanding that assists in performance and learning overall. I love the fact that you are so in to it. Keep it up!

Kevin is great with my kids and I. He teaches us how to read actual music. He simplifies the lessons and exercises to each student's individual level. Even my youngest is reading and writing music. Really lucky to find him at these prices. I would recommend Kevin to anyone looking for guitar lessons or piano lessons.
McMusic Lessons & Performances's reply
Always a pleasure teaching you guys. The kids are great and you are coming along much quicker than average. Thanks for the review. I look forward to seeing you all progress.
