Margie L. says, "My first lesson taught me everything that a college level class could not. I actually felt very comfortable once I was shown how to properly hold it. David was very calm, and extremely patient with me. I like the fact that I can easily check my homework and log my practice time on the phone. I am going to really enjoy having him as my guitar teacher."See more

Bonnie H. says, "I've been taking guitar lessons from Jay for about 1&1/2 years! Because of Jay's teaching method and patience, I have more than surpassed all expectations I had about being able to play the guitar. My goals were to learn how to play the guitar if I could and have FUN doing it! Jay's method, 'Vertical Truth' is easy to comprehend and with Jay's help I am playing more songs than I could have ever imagined. Also with Jay's help I have been able to begin transferring what knowledge of music theory I have from playing other instruments to the guitar! Simply put, Jays method of teaching is designed to help each student at their own pace as no two individuals are the same! 'Vertical Truth' is a fabulous way to learn how to play the guitar and Jay is a GREAT teacher! Thanks Jay!!!!đź‘Ť"See more

Michele J. says, "Matt is INCREDIBLE! I am so grateful I found him for online lessons. I was seeking online lessons for my son due to some family circumstances, but also equally hesitant that progress would be hindered with a virtual experience. Matt talked me through all my questions and concerns and invested so much time even before my son’s 1st lesson. Since that first lesson, my son looks forward to his weekly lesson with Matt with so much excitement. Matt is not only talented and a great communicator, but truly connects with people and has really connected with my son. I highly recommend Matt! He is exceptional!"See more

Xiaojie W. says, "The teacher has a very professional and well-structured teaching system. Each lesson is clearly organized with specific goals and steady progression. In terms of bass technique, the instruction is detailed and thorough — from fundamental finger positioning and tone control to rhythm stability. The teacher also places strong emphasis on groove and musical understanding, helping the student not only learn how to play, but truly understand how to perform. The pace of each lesson is well balanced: attentive to detail while still encouraging independent thinking and musical expression. Under the teacher’s guidance, the student has shown clear improvement in rhythmic consistency, tone control, and overall musicality. A truly dedicated, knowledgeable, and responsible instructor."See more

Mike L. says, "I've been taking lessons now for 3 months. Been totally enjoying sessions with James. He listens to my feedback, and also pushes me to continue learning always providing clear guidance and instruction. I was initially concerned about how online classes would work, that concern was removed pretty quickly with the professionalism that James presents. So happy I started classes with him!"See more
