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

Ravi K. says, "I recently joined Dennis’s guitar class and I’m extremely happy with my experience so far. He is not only highly skilled but also very patient and encouraging, which makes learning so much more enjoyable. He explains concepts clearly, breaks down difficult techniques into easy steps, and ensures that every student progresses at their own pace. What I really appreciate is the positive and motivating atmosphere he creates—each class feels engaging, and I always walk away feeling more confident and inspired to practice. Whether you’re a complete beginner or have some experience, I truly believe you’ll benefit a lot from his teaching. Highly recommended! 🎸"See more

Reviews for Durham electric guitar instructors on Thumbtack

From Matt M.

Lowenberg Music Lessons

Dan is teaching my son to play the electric guitar. He is a patient, thoughtful, dedicated, and talented instructor. He provided a great deal of guidance and advice even before our first lesson, it helped my son get off on the right foot, and the experience has been nothing short of stellar since those first discussions with him. It’s obvious that Dan is passionate about two things, 1) making music and 2) teaching and sharing how that is done. It comes through genuine and clear in every lesson and has translated to my son’s interest and dedication to practicing the craft. I feel very lucky to have found Dan, and would wager you will few the same if you contact for his services.
