Introduction: I am a certified music teacher. I currently have 25 students from ages 4 to 55 years. I am professional, dependable and will always call, e-mail or text ahead of time to confirm scheduled lessons. I am very organized and structured in my lessons. I have two cases of learning materials that I use in my lessons for young children to ensure a positive and happy learning experience.
I enjoy watching my students become successful on their musical journey. I also enjoy teaching and learning how to improve my teaching and performance skills. I gain great joy from observing my students perform on stage and growing in their musical endeavors and abilities.

Guitar Lessons
It has been my pleasure working with Mr. Nolan on my guitar lessons. I came in with no knowledge on sheet reading, music notes, or anything related to playing the guitar. He knew exactly how to start me on this journey and provided me the structured I needed to feel successful.
Mr. Nolan is a great teacher, very empathetic and provides a great deal of constructive criticism. If you put the time, you will see great results with his help!

John is a great guitar teacher and strives to do his best and have fun. He makes it a point to ensure that I am getting the type of guitar lessons that I am looking for, which I greatly appreciate. 10/10 would hire again!

Guitar Lessons
John was an amazing teacher! I highly recommend him to anyone wanting to learn guitar. I had never picked up a guitar until I took my first lesson, so I was brand new. John was great at teaching me fundamentals and instruction you just can’t get from a book or online. He is also very flexible with his lesson schedule, so it was easy to find a date and time that worked for me.

Guitar Lessons
We have just finished our 6th lesson with John. My 5 year old daughter is taking piano lessons and I am taking guitar lessons. John is always on time, is always prepared, and is always eager to teach. My 5 year old can barely contain her excitement when he comes over. I am amazed at how much she has learned at such a young age. John encourages family participation during her lessons which is something that I fully agree with. Music in our house is a family affair. He has an obvious compassion for teaching young children and it is very obvious with the method he uses to teach them. He makes music fun. I am a middle school teacher, and would highly recommend him as a music teacher with your children too.
As an adult student in guitar, John is always listening to my wants and needs. He is teaching me with a style that will benefit my ultimate guitar playing goal, and addresses my learning style carefully. I would highly recommend him as a guitar teacher too.

Guitar Lessons (for children or teenagers)
Mr. Nolan is teaching my 8 year old son how to play guitar. He is very encouraging and a really great teacher. I sit in on the lessons and feel very comfortable with him. Even I'm starting to learn guitar by sitting in on the lessons!
Mr. Nolan has his own book to teach out of and its obvious that his years of teaching experience make everything run very smoothly. He is very clear in his instructions and is clearly laying out the foundation for more in depth musical knowledge. He is also very reasons and articulate with his homework expectations. My kiddo is really blossoming under his one on one instruction.
