I am a functionally professional musician as of the last 20+ years, thanks to the outstanding tutelage of Ken Fought. His personally streamlined approach to each individual student sets the standard for hand-over-hand guitar instruction. Compared to any academic teacher, and most guitar teachers, he was the only one who got through to me on a personally inspiring level, and gave me the drive I needed towards something(anything) in life. Ken instills the confidence in the kids like me that had no outlet:sports, academics, etc., that need it most. Thanks to Ken, I went from playing confidently as a teen, to playing professionally as a young(and now old) adult. Get this guy to teach/inspire your kids/adults like he inspired me, and you can't go wrong! -Adam Zierten: singer-songwriter/guitarist/harmonica-Mojo Radio

Donna is a wonderful voice teacher, & my daughter loves her lessons & practices without prompting. In addition to her academic musical qualifications, Donna is an accomplished, classically trained opera singer. Donna has a great sense of humor & makes music fun for her students & she is enthusiastic & encouraging & often gives them extra time. Donna teaches the importance of correct breathing & posture, & warm-up exercises so that students learn how to extend their range & improve their tone without harming their vocal chords. Donna has a flare for understanding how to motivate her students so if your child has an interest in performance, or just wants to sing for pleasure then Donna will bring out the best in your child's voice..

Tim works very well with my teenaged son. He is very professional and seems to care deeply about teaching music. I would highly recommend Tim to teach your kids how to play the guitar.

I can't say enough... They were FANTASTIC.... Professional, friendly, caring, great sound, wonderful selection in music. They let us choose our music... See you at my sister's Wedding! Kathleen , What beautiful singer you are! God bless.....

Michael Mueller is a phenomenal piano player. He is also an excellent performer and singer. Every venue at which I have seen him perform, the crowd has been totally entertained. From weddings and receptions, to a concert setting, he performs at a very high level. Without question, he is an excellent act.

OUR AUDIENCE AND THE THEATER WAS VERY HAPPY WITH JOSH'S PERFORMANCE.

My work is original and my knowledge of the guitar allows me to write and perform original music as well as being able to cover popular music.

Tim started the TreeBeardSound studio in Chicago in 2006, where he taught guitar, performed voice-over recordings for clients, and also did his own personal songwriting and recording in preparation for live performances and CD projects. In 2013, Tim and TreeBeardSound moved to Burlington, WI for a new job in his sales career. He will continue songwriting and performance within the Wisconsin and Northern IL markets as his best loved hobby. Tim plays intimate settings like coffeehouses, bars, restaurants, private parties, wedding ceremonies, and special events. TIm's most recent performance was opening at the Woodstock, IL Opera House for Tom Deckers John Denver Tribute Band.
