Spencer R. says, "I was seeking guitar lessons to improve my entry-level skills and to be able to write some songs. Just under a year later, I understand various different scales (major, minor, and some modes) and when to use them. I also have a comfortable grasp of the different chords and chord shapes. I was planning to focus on just rock n roll but I've been introduced to a much broader array of music including funk, blues, jazz, reggae, and metal as well as different techniques used within each genre. Lessons have been great and have helped me learn not only what to play, but why I'm playing it too. I cannot say enough good things about Justin who has an answer to any question and an accessible teaching style (which is saying a lot when referring to guitar). Every time I leave my lesson I feel that I've improved and I have the support to inspire me to keep improving."See more

In my 9 years teaching music I have prioritized the student experience more than anything else. Everyone has unique goals when it comes to learning music and it is my purpose to help you realize those goals as efficiently as possible. I transcribe music from your favorite songs whether that be from an album, the radio, a movie soundtrack, a game, etc.; I want to ensure that you are able to get the most of out of music lessons. Along the way, I teach important fundamentals and technique I've developed in my 21 years of playing and performance but your goals are my priority. I'm well versed in a large variety of styles starting with a degree in classical guitar but also having experience in jazz, rock, blues, R&B, hip-hop, country, funk, etc.See more

Joe D. says, "I'm a trumpet player and have taken lessons from Ron for about 2 years. He is very informative and and very easy to understand. We have gone over the jazz scales/chords and how to fit them into improvisation as well as taking a good look at the chord stucture of a song. He always having me play the 3rd's and 7th's to get the flavor of the tune. He's a "superb" Musician!!! Maybe have a "practice CD" to work with until we have another session. Keep doing what your doing!!!"See more
