Guitar Lessons
I have been taking jazz guitar lessons from Attila for a little more than a month now. I too have noticed what some other reviewers have mentioned - unlike some other guitar teachers, he has a serious commitment to teaching, and is not just another performer working a side job. I leave every lesson with homework and a focus to work on. He challenges me every lesson and I have made great progress in the short time I've started lessons.

Guitar Lessons (for adults)
Attila is an experienced and trained musician, and his teaching of the guitar is interesting. He brings standard techniques at the beginning and branches out using various interests and goals that I have set coming into the lessons. Due to his teaching, a short-range goal has grown into a deeper satisfaction for continuing to pursue the guitar at a higher level. I highly recommend Attila to every level of guitar player.

Guitar Lessons (for children or teenagers)
Attila was great with my 8 year old. He is very patient, was able to teach some basic guitar concepts, and gave reasonable homework for the time between lessons. We've only had one lesson so far, but my son is excited to learn more!

Attila brings a wealth of professional experience, musicianship and music theory, as well as his masterful guitar skills. I've really appreciated how he tailors the lessons and content to my specific interests and desires. Additionally, the transition to online lessons has been seamless and I still feel like I'm receiving a quality lesson and instruction.

Attila is a dream teacher: talented, friendly, supportive, flexible, warm-hearted, and encouraging. He combines a deep, life-long passion for teaching (unlike many other guitar teachers, he is not just biding time until his next gig), with a love of music, and an expertise with both beginners and advanced players. He is especially gifted with kids. My daughter loves her lessons with Attila!!

- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?- Free trial lesson - $50/60 minutes - $40/45 minutes - $30/30 minutes - Cancellation: - a make-up lesson is initiated if cancellation happens earlier than 24 hours - no make-up lesson or refund within 24 hours
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?I usually provide a trial lesson because a familiar atmosphere and mutual sympathy are essential at private lessons. We talk about the student's goals. I outline how (s)he could reach his goals. I try to pay respect to his/her musical preference. We plan the curriculum for the first couple of months.
