“Learning is fun - because he connects with his students and adapts his teachings to their interests and goals. Both of my kids have taken lessons from him - as have I - with great results across the board. I can’t stress enough what a talented teacher he is and how absolutely effective his lessons are.” -Sean S
"Best guitar teacher ever! ... He makes learning fun and gives students the freedom to be creative." - Elizabeth W.
A tremendous musician who teaches not only theory and how to play but musicality and music history. I would highly recommend him as a teacher.
Thanks to him my daughter has enjoyed performing as a paid musician and so much more.
He is a wonderful person and teacher.
