Joe has been teaching our teenage son guitar for over two years. In addition to being an accomplished musician and personable individual, Joe is able to communicate and instruct regardless of the skill level of the student. Our son enjoys the weekly lessons and continues to improve. We benefit from Joe being able to teach at our house as well as his flexibility when other activities conflict with lessons… we’re extremely pleased!

Joe is a great instructor. He gears the lessons to my child’s interests to keep her motivated. He makes her laugh yet keeps her focus on the music. He is flexible with lesson times and with makeup sessions. My daughter has learned not only to play the guitar but to enjoy practicing.

Debbie N.

Vince focuses on both technique and music appreciation. He gives equal weight to my learning how to play the guitar and my learning to love the instrument. He plans our lessons based on my musical interests and, in doing so, consistently finds inventive ways to work on problem areas.

Hannah G.

I have nothing but praise for Alex. I was somewhat anxious trying to pick up a new hobby playing the drums. My nervousness dissipated quickly with Alex's guidance. He tailors each lesson with handwritten exercises, appealing both to my interests and skill level, and I always leave feeling like my skills have improved.
