Right away I could tell John was very knowledgeable and passionate about all things music. He was kind and walked me through the fundamentals when we first started, his down to earth sense of humor and humbleness helped to break the ice. I meet with John once a week to hone my skills at my place (yes he does house calls) and I couldn’t be more satisfied with my progress. He gives me simple yet effective exercises to work on between our lessons which have been a huge help. I never thought I would be able to advance as quickly as I have. If John can help me I have no doubt he can help others far more advanced then myself. I’m writing this review because I admire him for his work ethic and commitment to my success. Not only is he a great teacher but he’s also a great guy. If you’re looking for someone to help you advance your skills, look no further.
