Connie M. says, "Music To Your Home has been an excellent experience for our family. From the start, it was clear they’re about so much more than just teaching the basics. The teachers are exceptionally talented, know how to connect with their students, and make lessons something to look forward to. What we love most is how the teachers take the time to build a real relationship. They encourage, motivate, and make learning fun while teaching the technical side of music. They help students tap into the art of music: the passion, emotion, and joy of playing. It’s not just about hitting the right notes, but about feeling the music and expressing yourself. That balance of skill and heart makes Music To Your Home so special. Our children aren't just learning an instrument; they’re discovering a love for music that we know will stick with them. We couldn’t recommend this company more!"See more

Anna S. says, "Anthony is the reason I am finally learning guitar AND ENJOYING its addition of balance and relaxation to my life. I tried for several years with YouTube videos and one other teacher in NY, but the motivation waned. I've been excited to come to weekly lessons for 6 months with Anthony. He has an unusual combination of extreme skill and extreme humility and warmth. My parents are both professional classical musicians so even though I am a beginner in guitar I appreciate his skill. Also, they have commented that I am making great, steady progress and that the accompanying theory I am learning is very sound. Anthony is flexible, allowing me to learn the songs I want to play for my newborn and my husband, and adjusting them for my level, while working theory in between, always making it fun and laid back. I've lived in NYC 11 years and he is one of the nicest people I've ever met. This guitar teacher is a find -- a true diamond in the rough of manhattan!"See more

I am a guitar and piano player that has learned from amazing guitar teachers. I play at an upper intermediate level, which is all I need to achieve my singer/songwriter goals. But I can teach at a pro level. I was trained by a professional guitarist (Dominic Flynn on Instagram) who went to University of California for guitar and was trained by professional musicians. The teachings I learned from him are 100X more effective and efficient than any guitar coaching I had seen before. Same thing with piano. If you are looking to be able to improvise, jam, know theory, I will help! If you want to read sheet music then you may want to find another coach. I teach how to be an intuitive musician, not a robot musician! I also can teach theory on the bass if you are learning the bass.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

R.A.M. MUSIC (Manhattan 68th + West End Av.)

As an adult beginner, Robert made the daunting task of learning the guitar extremely comfortable and reassuring. The lessons so far have been both challenging and rewarding. I would recommend anyone thinking of picking up the guitar to use Robert’s services!
