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 exceptional and exhibits all the qualities of a great teacher: he is patient encouraging and knowledgable . He tailors each lesson to what I want to learn and at what pace. He also agreed to help me select a guitar and met me at a local guitar store. I'm happy with my progress thus far, and would recommend anyone serious about learning and becoming better to contact him.

Mr. Nolan is very easy to work with and he is flexible. I highly recommend him. Mr. Nolan has been teaching my daughter for several months now to play guitar. She is a quick learner but wherever she has trouble Mr. Nolan takes the time to help her develop new strategies. He is always asking for feedback not just from me but from her as well so she actually enjoys the lessons. She looks forward to them all week.

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.

Details: 18 - 25 years old • No, cannot read music • No formal training • Acoustic • What the teacher recommends • Yes, the student has an instrument • 45 minutes • As soon as possible • Need some more information before hiring • I travel to the guitar teacher • The guitar teacher travels to me
