Beau is an exceptional guitar instructor. He was quick to respond to any questions I had and arrived on time to my lesson. I don't have much experience playing guitar, but I feel we covered a lot of ground during the first lesson. He helped boost my confidence in playing and motivated me to practice during the time between lessons. His pricing was very reasonable and he was able to accommodate to my schedule and location. I look forward to more lessons to come and would highly recommend Beau.

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!

My 6 year old son has been working with Mr. Nolan on on the electric guitar for a couple of months now. Mr Nolan is a very knowledgeable, caring, and patient teacher and my son is always excited to go to the lesson each week and even practice at home. I was hesitant to start my 6 year old on the guitar as I felt he might have been a bit young but I have been extremely happy with his progress. On a side note, Mr. Nolan is even letting me learn and play along using one of his guitars! This is my childhood dream so I am thrilled! If you are looking for guitar lessons, I would recommend Mr. Nolan with no hesitation.

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.

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.

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.

I've had 2 lessons so far, and I feel as though so many guitar questions and hang ups have been taught and contextualized already. Having been only self taught for a few years now, I feel in thanks to Mr. Telesmar for being able to gauge where I was at and helping me find the next steps I should be taking to more fully understand guitar and music!

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!

I’m so grateful for Carlos, he is an amazing teacher. When he plays his guitar during practice, it sounds so beautiful. My daughter is excited for lessons each week and eager to learn more. I’m glad Carlos understands everyone learns differently and goes at a pace ideal for my daughter.

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!

Beyond glad I chose Matt as my mentor. Matt is extremely patient and polite. He had no problem tailoring our lessons to the specific goals I wanted to accomplish when I reached out to him. My knowledge and abilities of the guitar have grown exponentially since we’ve started. 🎸🔥

Awesome from the start. I decided in my 50s that it was time to finally learn guitar. I took some lessons from another instructor, but we just didn’t jive. Tried Zach and my search is over. I learned more in the first lesson than a half dozen from the other guy. Zach’s best qualities are that he is patient and he listens to you. Great combination for a beginner. He already has me playing several chords and simple songs after two lessons. His approach to practice keeps me motivated. My frustration level decreased dramatically and I’m finally excited about learning again. Save yourself some time and give Zach a call!

I’ve only scheduled two lessons for my son so far, but have seen enough to know I’m happy with this service and our instructor. After a bit of back and forth messaging to determine exactly what our needs were they gave me several instructor options and helped us select the one that was right for us. my son is a complete beginner on the guitar and our instructor William has been awesome. He’s a very good and patient teacher and has instilled great confidence in my shy son. We will be happily continuing the lessons and encourage you to be confident in reaching out to them as well.

Ethan is the best! We spoke over the phone a day prior to the lesson to go over goals, expectations and musical preferences which I thought was very helpful. When he came to our home Ethan was really awesome! He made learning guitar fun for the kids and he was so patient and professional. The process was also super easy and the company responds to questions quickly. I HIGHLY recommend them!

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.
