Yutaka H. says, "Timothy is an excellent teacher who can tailor his lessons to his students skill level, musical taste and learning style. For example, he picked a Bill Frissell (I’m a big fan of his) song that was just challenging enough and came up with supplementary exercises that helped me better understand a key change in the song. Timothy was always punctual, prepared and flexible about scheduling. I would highly recommend taking lessons from him!"See more

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

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!

Tim is a a great guitar teacher! I’m a true beginner and am already seeing improvement after several lessons. He’s methodical, patient, and takes the time to understand my goals. The lessons themselves are incredibly helpful, and he provides follow-up notes to help me stay on track in between lessons. Overall, it’s been a great experience!

Guitar by Anthony

Guitar by Anthony

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!

James Wengrow Guitar Lessons

James Wengrow Guitar Lessons

After placing an ad for a private lessons guitar teacher a couple of months ago, I narrowed my choices down to two potential teachers. James Wengrow was one of the teachers and after meeting him for a free trial first lesson (which he generously offered) there was no doubt in my mind that he was a good fit for me. First of all, James is very professional. I asked for daytime, weekday lessons and he offered me time slots that were in alignment with that request. James arrived on time and prepared to teach. He asked me questions about my musical background, goals for taking lessons, musical preferences, and musical knowledge. He listened carefully to me and responded thoughtfully without any attitude or haughtiness. James is an educated and well trained musician (he studied, played professionally and taught extensively in his home country of Australia before moving to NYC last year), but he never rubs that in your face. He has a lovely humility about him which I believe is part of what makes him, such a good teacher, especially for beginners like myself. However, he is also good at keeping me focused. As a stay at home mom with a toddler, I am grateful for James's style, as he is sort of a gentle task master who is sensitive to the dynamics of a private lesson. He is also great with the more practical aspects of lessons, like communicating, (text, email, phone, etc.) scheduling, etc. So far, I have been very pleased with our lessons. The only thing I wish for is more time to practice! If you have any questions pertaining to James Wengrow's services, please feel free to reach out to him directly for my phone number or email address. I live in Manhattan and would be happy to serve as his reference. Tasha Antulov
