Within ONE lesson, Howard could pinpoint EXACTLY what my trouble areas are, and not only is he able to articulate a very clear plan for dealing with those, but he has also helped me with the burdening amount of pain that plagues my joints and muscles when I play something technically demanding! Furthermore, he is very focused, understanding, knowledgeable and gentle! After having many verbally.... difficult teachers whose teaching involved quite a bit of negative reinforcement, it is an absolute pleasure and an eye opening experience to have a patient, understanding teacher. Some people may learn quite well in that fashion, and there was a period of time when I actually believed, or rather was brainwashed into thinking that being verbally berated would serve as motivation. But now I see quite clearly that is not the case: I learn a lot better and I am more motivated to practice when I find it a pleasure to go to my piano lessons! Thank you, Howard for all your dedication, patience and knowledge!

Dylan is by far one of the best guitar teachers I've ever had. I haven't been playing guitar for very long and most of the teachers I've had mad me feel rushed when it came to trying to master the basics. Dylan however was so easy to work with and didn't make make me feel pressured to learn everything on the dot. He took the time to work with me and made me the center of his attention for the entire lesson. I felt like I had more improvement with myself as a player under his instruction than with my previous teachers.

It is not just about hitting the right note, it is about relaxing and really feeling the joy of the music, of the perfect sound. It is an approach that is both unique and effective.

I started taking weekly guitar lessons from Tony in the 3rd grade at St. Cyril of Jerusalem, and continued until my freshman year of college. I’m now away at college but still meet with him over the school breaks from university for lessons/jam sessions.
Tony has taught me a wide range of guitar skills; from rock songs for my middle school band, to advanced fingerstyle technique and improvisational soloing. While he ensures students learn the essentials such as scales and technique, he also keeps them engaged by teaching the type of music that students want to learn. Any style of guitar I have become interested in learning Tony has been able to teach. We’ve gone over blues, rock and roll, jazz, improvisational jazz soloing, fingerstyle, and classical.
Tony will make students laugh and learn at the same time. He’s great at what he does and he loves doing it. If you want to get so good at guitar that your friends become envious then Tony is your guy.
