Frank D. says, "Hello! As an adult beginner seeking to learn the guitar, I can tell you several things I've discovered through experience. Things I can state with complete confidence. 1) Learning to play guitar can become overwhelming rather quickly! With all the information available on line, through books and from friends who say they can show you, it's quite easy to waste a lot of time learning stuff that really isn't productive over the long haul. Sure, you'll learn quickly at first because you're starting from zero, but once you learn the fundamentals, now what? This is where the majority of guitarists languish for years rehashing the same old stuff and never really improving. You need competent guidance! 2) Speaking of competent guidance, I've had numerous teachers who were really good guitar players but after a couple of months watching them play, you begin to wonder why YOU aren't getting much better. They're good, you're not and you're not getting much better. You're wasting precious learning time. Playing and teaching are 2 separate issues. Being able to relay information is probably more important than the ability to play when looking for a teacher. Phil can not only play but excels at explaining music concepts so they are readily accessible to students seeking knowledge. He was the first instructor I was exposed to who had a prepared, written game plan. A step by step road map to mastering the instrument that he explains patiently and intelligently. He loves both playing and teaching the guitar and it is abundantly clear when you talk to him about the subject. I have yet to have a session with him where I didn't feel that I was better after our lesson than I was before it, and that is the main reason one seeks out an instructor. So they can get better! 3) Phil treats lessons like a professional. He's never been late or surprised by my visits. He is always prepared and that's one of the things I like best. He makes me feel like I'm his only student and that MY progress is what's most important. I'm not just a time slot to fill or a check to grab and cash. No ego or showing off his skills for large chunks of the lesson. My skills and my improvement is what matters most and my entire lesson, from start to finish, is devoted to that. 4) Music theory is a bit spooky, especially for the beginning student. The problem isn't the complexity of the subject but how it's explained and mapped out. Yes it can be complex but in order to truly understand the instrument, you must understand the underlying concepts of music theory. What I liked most about my initial interview with Phil was his interest in what I was looking to accomplish. I was questioned about my goals. What did I want to accomplish. Learn music theory? Learn to read notation? Learn to just sit on the couch and play the blues or rock or pop music? A combination of some of it or all of it? He had a path for any/all of it tailored to my wants and needs. I'm thrilled with the path I chose and my progress on that path but I'm reminded by Phil that the plan can change as I grow and learn which is as it should be. Flexibility in learning means more options which also means constant learning without stagnation or hitting a wall that equates to more wasted time. If you seek professional, intelligent and skillful instruction as it relates to the guitar, I urge you to seek out Phil and discuss your musical goals with him. He has helped me both understand music as well as the instrument. It's quite a thrill to honestly believe you are improving quickly at playing the guitar. I look forward to continuing to improve with Phil's guidance and honestly feel my goals are well within reach. Both my playing as well as my understanding of music is growing daily and I eagerly anticipate what the future holds for me and my guitar journey with Phil's assistance!"See more

Sara Salseg says, "Ryan is a great teacher! He's organized, patient, mellow and easy to follow and understand. As an adult I had so much fun learning and I couldn't wait to learn more!! My 10 year old has been weird since a year of quarantine and it's been hard to get her interested in anything again and Ryan tried sooooo hard to get her engaged, he picked songs he thought she might like or that she requested. He tried to play music games with her to make it fun instead of following the book. He was just so great with her when her lack of trying was driving me nuts!! He also taught me one of the songs I requested which made my day! Ryan is a local hard working dad/familyman and a great guitar lesson teacher and I highly recommend him!!!! Thanks for everything Ryan I look forward to more lessons in the future!!"See more

Melanie K. says, "I highly recommend Jaime to anyone wanting to learn guitar, whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to improve. Before I started taking lessons with him over a year ago, I had only dabbled with guitar and couldn’t really play. I have a very busy job, and I wanted to do something creative outside of work. Taking online lessons has been the perfect solution because it’s convenient and has allowed me to stay consistent. Even though the lessons are online, Jaime does an excellent job demonstrating techniques, correcting my playing, and providing clear instruction. He’s incredibly patient and explains everything in a way that’s easy to understand. He breaks techniques down into manageable steps, so I never felt overwhelmed. He tailors each lesson to my goals rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach, which has kept me motivated to continue learning. He also gives clear guidance on what to practice between lessons, so my practice time is productive. One of my goals was to learn classical guitar while also learning chords and Jaime’s been able to teach me both by learning to read and play guitar tabs. Jaime is always professional, prepared, and punctual, and every lesson feels worthwhile. As a busy working professional, I especially appreciate that he’s helped me make steady progress without needing to spend hours practicing every day. He’s made something I thought was beyond my abilities feel completely achievable. If you’ve always wanted to learn guitar but thought it was too difficult or that you didn’t have enough time, I can honestly say he’s made it possible for me. A year ago I never imagined I’d be playing classical pieces as well as some pop rock songs. His patience, teaching style, and ability to teach so effectively online have made all the difference. I can’t recommend him highly enough."See more

Sam M. says, "Coach Jake is a wonderful, creative teacher who has as much fun learning as his students do. My daughter has been taking drum lessons with him for two years and loves it. She says he's silly and playful and makes learning drums so much fun. While she's having fun, she's also learning technique, rhythm and how to read music. I absolutely recommend Coach Jake if you're looking to learn to play drums. Having a blast as you do is a great bonus too in my book!"See more

Cristian is great with kids and clearly loves playing the guitar and sharing his passion with others. We love that he comes to our house for lessons!

Colton came to our house to teach our 12 yo son and 14yo daughter to play guitar. Each lesson is tailored to the child and his/her capabilities. Colton is humble, able, and both of the kids enjoyed working with him. I like his style of giving a free lesson to see if he's a fit. And, he drove to our house. How can you lose?

Nick is a great instructor!! He recently started leaching guitar to our son. We noticed right away that he is very talented, friendly and knows how to connect with kids at the level they are comfortable with. My son seems to be enjoying his lessons too. Everything is working out great so far...
