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

I’m a British-trained music producer, composer and multi-instrumentalist based in Santa Monica with over 25 years of professional experience in film, television and commercial music. I contributed to the Emmy-winning score of Palm Royale and previously toured and recorded with Sia. My work has been performed and mixed at Abbey Road and AIR Studios in London as well as LA's top locations. Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy collaborating with artists and watching their ideas grow into something fully realized. Whether you’re recording your first song or developing a larger project, my studio is a focused, supportive environment where creativity and professionalism go hand in hand. If you care about your music and want it handled with attention to detail, clarity, and polish, I’d love to hear about your project. Feel free to send a demo or even a voice memo — we can start from there!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
