About this pro
I have several years experience teaching all ages, from youth to adult, and all levels of musicians, from beginning to advanced. I have taught group lessons, band camps, high school marching bands, and individual lessons. From this variety of experiences I have learned how to make music lessons in any situation both effective and fun!
I love connecting with new people and learning about them. From there, we learn together how music best fits into your life!

John has been great. He has been both patient and persistent. I'm definitely making progress with his help and guidance. In addition, he has been good about putting up with my off times lame humor!

John is great - it’s fun and relaxed, but I leave every lesson feeling like I’ve learned something, and have something to work on for the coming week.

Great teacher!

Very pleasant person, I have a feeling that unless my personal limitations due to age intervene (I am 70 years old), things are going to go great.
