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

Chad A. says, "When I first started taking lessons with Matt, I was struggling with things like bends, smoothly switching chord shapes, and dialing in the right tone. After just over a month of working with him, I can confidently say my playing has improved tremendously. Matt makes every lesson fun and engaging by mixing in different exercises while also teaching you how to play your favorite songs. That balance has helped everything click way faster than when I was practicing on my own. In just one month, I’ve learned more with Matt than I did in almost a full year of self-teaching. I can’t recommend him enough to anyone looking to seriously improve their guitar skills."See more

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!
