Mehmet O. says, "I’ve been studying classical guitar with James for some time now, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. I’m 68 and play at an intermediate level, and James has been helping me build a meaningful and challenging repertoire that includes both intermediate and more difficult pieces. What stands out most is how he’s opened my eyes to the interpretive side of classical guitar—how great players bring their own voice to the music. For the first time, I feel empowered to explore my own musical expression, not just play the notes on the page. James is deeply knowledgeable about the guitar and its literature, highly professional, and an all-around kind and supportive teacher. I don’t have much experience playing in front of others, but he creates a comfortable, encouraging environment that really puts me at ease. I highly recommend him to any guitarist looking to grow—not just in skill, but in confidence and artistic identity. Five stars, without a doubt."See more

Raven C. says, "i appreciated teles’ enthusiasm, knowledge and guidance. he has a lot to offer as a teacher and i gained valuable skills in music theory, understanding that there’s room for mistakes and not everything will be perfect, and scales! unfortunately our communication styles led to misunderstandings and our personal values just did not quite align. i did learn a lot in my time with him but decided to move on due to personal compatibility issues. despite this, i am so grateful for the lessons learned and will always cherish him as my honorary first teacher. he even reached out to me to have an open discussion about our discord and i really appreciated that and even gave me time to process and prepare for when i was ready to address them, which i feel shows willingness to learn from his students, past and present. i think anyone would be lucky to have such a kind, supportive teacher who is also just a human, like the rest of us."See more

Brian C. says, "I’ve had a great experience learning with Erik. He is patient, encouraging, and really knows how to break things down in a way that makes everything feel achievable. Each lesson is well‑structured and tailored to what I want to learn. I’ve made steady progress and feel more confident every week, although a European tour still a few years away. I highly recommend Erik to anyone looking to grow as a guitarist."See more
