About
My aim is to provide the student with the best experience possible. To do this, we must all do our part to ensure your son/daughter's success. Studying music can be an enjoyable and rewarding experience, but it takes commitment from the parents as well as the teacher and the student. Get better and play the guitar well in a shorter amount of time than expected. Exercises are used with other methods combined are used and logged to watch the progress. Music is its reward. Hire me to help you learn the songs you want to play, or how to compose songs or even understand how the construction of Music works. Whatever you want to learn about guitar or Music let me help you learn it the right way IN ORDER of learning at your own pace. There are no shortcuts. Face the challenge of a song, go through learning the proper way how to practice. Enjoy the balance of work and play on the instrument.

John is a great teacher who takes a lot of care in his approach to teaching. Every lesson is well thought out and builds off of the last one and each lesson is designed with your personal goals in mind. I have been getting lessons from him for about a year now and before that had been trying to teach myself guitar for 2. In that 1 year with him I have learned far more than I did or could have in the 2 on my own. He is very patient and knows how to help you create a foundation of skills you can build off of. I highly recommend John if you're a beginner, each lesson is invaluable and will help make you more excited and interested in the instrument.

John is an incredible instructor! I have never played an instrument in my life and decided to sign up for lessons for my husband, to see if I could learn and have some fun jam sessions on the weekends. Well, little did I know that I would get hooked. I never thought I was cut out for playing, but through my lessons… I have not only found a love for guitar, but an outlet for my soul. John has been kind and patient, allowing me to progress at my pace. I highly recommend John, not only for the beginner wanting to try something new, but the seasoned wanting to elevate their playing.

John’s music theory and playing ability are at the highest professional levels. My lessons encompass a mix of general music theory, reading music and the finer aspects of playing classical, electric and acoustic guitar. I really look forward to and enjoy my weekly lessons with John.

John has deep experience in teaching music and has an encyclopedic knowledge of his craft, which covers about any style. He quickly picked up pn what I wanted to accomplish and has tailored lessons to fit my need(s). His library of books, prepared pages and especially the series of videos he made that can be viewed at home are a great enhancement to weekly lessons which increases overall value. I've been taking lessons from John for a little over 6 months now and plan to continue for the foreseeable future.
