Esther G. says, "When we were looking for a piano teacher for our 7 y.o. son, we interviewed more than a couple of teachers and we were really impressed with how Kirk's interview went. We told him we wanted our son to learn different styles of piano playing including jazz; when he showed us how he teaches and plays jazz, my husband and I looked at each other agreeing on hiring Kirk right there. Our son has worked with Kirk for just 8 months but he has progressed fast and really well. Kirk has a way with working and communicating with children; our son is shy and doesn't usually talk to new adults and teachers--he talked to Kirk the first time he had lessons with him. The way he teaches techniques really feed on our son's strengths and helps with his struggles. We are so pleased with the service that we are getting from Kirk and plan to have our son take lessons from him as long as he needs to. I highly recommend Kirk McLaren because he is an excellent teacher, set apart from others that we have known and worked with. "See more

Caleb S. says, "I have been playing guitar lightly on and off for 30 years. I have been around guitar enough to somewhat discern talent and skill. When I decided I wanted to start over and learn classical guitar from a professional teacher I went hunting for a great teacher. Before starting lessons with Peter I met with a couple other guitar teachers and gauged them against others I have known. I chose Peter because I found him to be everything I was looking for. Peter is smart. He is both a highly skilled player and a talented teacher. He is dedicated to teaching guitar vs teachers who don’t primarily play guitar or teachers who don’t have any training in guitar pedagogy. Peter is a great communicator in general, which has helped us navigate my complicated schedule and tailor my instruction to my needs and interests. Peter seems to be flexible and realistic with the curriculum he devised for me and the goals we set. Peter has a great personality for teaching. In the journey of developing guitar skill, I think he is a great guide. He knows the art, he knows how to teach it, he knows how to do hard things, how to overcome challenges, and he has a deep trove of experiences to draw from in lessons. My lessons with him have been fun, helpful, and well structured. For the kind of guitar playing I am interested in, my search is over, Peter is a great teacher."See more
