Gabe L. says, "I started working with Josh a little bit more than a year ago, having never picked up a guitar at age 43. It was intimidating, to say the least, but Josh was beyond patient and kind and we hit it off from the start! It’s been very challenging but I can’t imagine where I’d be without him. I understand guitar so much better now and it’s a testament to his skill as a teacher that I’m fully passionate about this now, despite being nowhere near where I want to be yet. That’s because I’m very demanding of myself, and Josh is great at reminding me to stop being so hard on myself and be patient; the results will come. And they have! I’d recommend him unequivocally and urge anyone browsing to write to him immediately. (Also, he took this super cool photo during a Zoom session so extra props for that. And he’s an awesome dude!)"See more

Gene C. says, "As an older student, my learning ability and retention are not as good as they were when I was younger. Michael has the patience to work with people who may need a little extra time to absorb new material. He explains things clearly and will spend extra time going over challenging parts of a lesson. I’ve had numerous teachers over the last 15 years and he is the best."See more

Anna L. says, "I've been taking lessons with Ian for over 7 years now. We started in person on ukulele. A year in, Covid came along and we shifted to virtual. I figured I would miss the in person lessons but virtual has been amazing and now I know they can be great if done well- which he does. And it's also nice to not have to leave the house! We have a shared Dropbox folder. He sends files to see and read and even recordings to practice along with in between lessons. Also, a couple years ago, I wanted to shift to guitar and so we did and it was seamless. He took much of what I learned on ukulele and used it to help me understand the guitar better. I still take lessons with Ian to this day and I couldn't recommend him more!"See more
