Aaron is one of a kind! My sister and her now husband booked him for a bit of a "last minute" civil ceremony in New York City, and without much pre-planned guidance, his professionalism and true love of music shined through and truly set the scene for their intimate wedding ceremony and reception. My sister requested he learn "Enchanted" by Taylor Swift on guitar to play as she walked down the aisle and he said, "Great! Not a problem!" His rendition was perfect, and he had it down in just a few days. Then, between the ceremony and the dinner, there was a bit of happy hour of sorts in a gathering area and we initially didn't have a plan for music. He sat in a chair, got out his guitar, and without a set list in place, he just strummed away. The music that filled the room totally changed the space, and multiple people came over and said, "It's so cool, I have no idea what he's playing, but I can just tell that he loves music." It's like the whole room was filled with warmth, and it just welcomed in conversation with family and friends and set the scene for a great dinner. Aaron, thank you for learning Taylor Swift for my sister, for jumping in without advanced noticed and strumming on your guitar during the happy hour portion of the evening, and for being an overall kind, generous, and gracious person. I know who I'll be using when I get married!

Highly Recommend Aaron as a Guitar Teacher!
Aaron has been an incredible guitar teacher for my daughter, providing her with a strong foundation in both technique and musicality. His patience, encouragement, and ability to tailor lessons to her learning style made all the difference in her progress and confidence. She not only learned the fundamentals but also developed a true appreciation for playing. Aaron’s passion for music is evident, and his teaching approach makes lessons both engaging and effective.
If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, supportive, and skilled instructor, I highly recommend Aaron!

Aaron is a very good guitarist and guitar teacher. He is patient with a student and explains a complex concept in a way a person can understand well. I am a retired high school teacher. I know good teaching when I see it.

Aaron was my son’s guitar teacher for several years until he moved away. Aaron is absolutely phenomenal. Not only did my son learn guitar skills, he also gained a lifelong friend and mentor. Many people can teach you skills, but very few and influence the life of a child and help them believe in themselves. Aaron is truly the best.
