About
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.

He is great with my 5yo daughter. She loves the lessons. I appreciate that he writes down the things that need to be reviewed and makes sure everyone understands, no matter what their skill level is or isn't. He makes it fun.

We have just finished our 6th lesson with John. My 5 year old daughter is taking pianolessons 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.

Mr. Nolan was an outstanding music teacher for my son. Combined with his patience and style of teaching, Mr. Nolan provided a great foundation of music appreciation that my son looked forward to weekly.

I have enjoyed every acoustic guitar lesson from John Nolan! He provides excellent instruction and challenges me to learn new techniques and skills that is improving my playing ability every week. He is flexible as to what it is I want to learn, instead a rigid course structure.
I'm an adult student who has been playing for some time, but needed a professional to help me grow to the next level. I look forward to every lesson!

Mr Nolan was an excellent teacher. He was extremely knowledgeable, patient and positive with us always. We both learned a great deal with his teaching style. If you thinking about taking lessons pick him you won't be disappointed.
