Janice is a great teacher! I have been taking lessons for over a year. I had a goal of strengthening my voice and improving my singing. I am very pleased with my progress. Janice provides clear, honest, effective instruction. She is incredibly knowledgeable, and the lessons are fun! My overall musicianship and knowledge of theory have improved along with my voice. I highly recommend Janice!

I have always been interested in guitars so a couple of years ago I bought a Fender Stratocaster and took a few lessons. I was 78 years old and have relatively small hands so I did not make much progress. I decided I needed an evaluation of whether I would be able learn this difficult instrument or should I just move on. I found Jay through an internet search and scheduled a lesson/evaluation. Jay is a Julliard trained classical guitarist who made his living playing and giving lessons in New York city for thirty years. His evaluation concluded that there was hope for me and we scheduled some lessons at his “Guitar Studio” in mid-town Tucson. Jay did not impose a “system” which I had to learn. He worked with me to improve the skills I had. He is very receptive to questions and worked with the music I wanted to play. As a composer he willingly annotated my tabs with fingering suggestions and often rewrote sections to make it easier for me to play. Two years later I am playing music which I never thought I could. I will never be a great guitarist but my music sounds better every day and most importantly, I ENJOY playing it, mistakes and all. I am very glad I found Jay and would recommended him highly to any aspiring guitarist of any age. Mike Mulcahy

My midlife crisis was relatively uneventful except I wanted to play the vibraphone (vibes). I had difficulty finding a teacher that would take on an adult with little formal musical training. Luckily, I was able to connect with Mr. Carlos Solis. He has the true patience of a teacher and the experience of being able to teach youngsters as well as adults like me. What I like most about his style is his relaxed approach to helping you learn. Although he has a easy demeanor, I still learn a lot from him. I would recommend him for anyone who plays percussion. I give him five stars easily.

Jeff Adkins is perhaps the best guitar instructor in the Orlando area. Not only is he an incredibly talented guitarist and a motivating instructor, but he is down-to-earth, smart, funny and just plain fun to be around.
