Introduction

Hey everyone! I'm Jonathan Ceasar, the founder of Guitar Player Academy! My musical journey started fifteen years ago with a strong passion for music and an even deeper love for the guitar. With years of professional experience performing with Boston's most prestigious bands around New England and graduating as the Valedictorian of the University of Rhode Island's Music Department as a Jazz Performance Major, I've dedicated my life to helping aspiring musicians achieve their goals and become the guitarists they've always wanted to be. What began as a small guitar studio with only a handful of students has transformed into a thriving online academy designed by guitar players, for guitar players! While at Guitar Player Academy, my goal isn't just to make you into another proficient guitarist but to inspire and guide you in making your own music in your own way. I've always believed that everyone should have access to high-quality and professional lessons. That is why I’d like to bring my years of professional and collegiate experience to the computer screens of any students willing to take the next (or first!) step in their musical journey. I provide in-depth practice tools, materials, techniques, and of course interactive practicing between myself and my students, all from the comfort of your living room anytime you choose! I’ll be utilizing the best of the best equipment and software to ensure that any skills learned throughout our lessons can be seamlessly translated from your screen to your fretboard. I use common platforms such as Zoom and Facetime, ensuring that EVERYONE has the opportunity to learn. We accept all ages, all skill levels, and all types of music here at Guitar Player Academy! If Guitar Player Academy sounds like the perfect place for you to grow your talents, contact us so we can set up a free 20-minute video consultation to plan your personalized curriculum while also allowing me to answer any questions you may have. What are you waiting for? Grab your guitar and let's get started!

Jonathan is the best guitar teacher ever! His lessons are super structured and you can tell he knows what he’s doing. Not every great guitar player can be a great teacher, but he truly is both. I really struggled finding a guitar teacher who could tell me what to do while trusting that we were going in the right direction (instead of me having to come up with the lesson plan🙄) and I finally found that with him. He is super responsive too and answers all of my questions and sends me the notes after we are done with our lesson. I finally feel like I’m starting to understand guitar and It’s a lot of fun and very manageable.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
For a single guitar lesson scheduling: 30 Minutes - $30 1 Hour - $60 For students who would like to book recurring lessons: 30 Minutes - $25 1 Hour - $50
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The first thing I love to do when sitting down with a new student is talk about what goals they have for our lessons. Some students may be starting from scratch and want to learn their fundamentals. Some students may be more advanced and want to take their abilities to the highest level. Some students just want to learn their favorite songs from the radio. All of these avenues of playing guitar are great! But it's important that we establish what you're looking for so I can make the perfect curriculum designed just for you! Music has never been about being "one size fits all", so neither should your lessons!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I started paying with Boston Wedding/Corporate Bands in 2017 with The Boston Premier Band. Boston Premier has been responsible for playing some of New England's most extravagant and high-profile events throughout the years. We've done everything from playing the highest-tier weddings on Nantucket to playing million-dollar corporate events! Because of this notoriety, I began freelancing and receiving calls to perform and record all around New England! Because of this professional experience, I have hundreds of songs in every genre imaginable under my belt that we can pull from to make your lesson as impactful as possible. While gigging professionally, I spent my collegiate years at The University of Rhode Island. While at URI, I attained my degree in Jazz Performance and graduated with Summa Cum Laude and within the top 10% of the entire University. I also received the prestigious honor of graduating with the highest GPA and Performance Scores within the entire music department. Between my professional and collegiate experience, I'm confident we can conquer any problems or challenges we face during our lessons!
