Shannon D.

I can't say enough good things about Sandro as a guitar teacher for my young teen. From the very first lesson, it was clear that he has a special talent for working with children. Sandro is incredibly patient, taking the time to ensure that my daughter fully understands the fundamentals before moving on to more complex concepts. This step-by-step approach, with follow up video instructions has helped build my child's confidence and skills. I also appreciate how flexible he is, accommodating schedule changes around school events and other activities. Overall, Sandro creates a positive and encouraging environment that my child looks forward to every week. If you're looking for a guitar teacher who is patient, thorough, and flexible, I highly recommend Sandro.

When I was younger, I studied with some of the most prominent classical guitar teachers in the Los Angeles area. After a long hiatus from music, I resumed studying classical guitar with Timur and indeed have done so for some years now. I have definitely improved with Timur! In what way? He made me more aware of musicality, voices and rhythm. He teaches in a classical way and does not rely upon gimmicks that many less experienced, and probably less able, instructors sometimes favor. His vast knowledge of music in general enriches every session I have with him. In my opinion, he has much to offer the beginning, intermediate and advanced guitar student."

My kiddo's started practicing ukulele at Roos Music back in 2017. They were shy then (8 yrs & 6 yrs) but Josh demonstrated so much patience and kindness. He helped build their confidence and love of playing music. The kids are now practicing the electric guitar with Aaron and Joey, who are just as fun and kind. Liz is exceptional at communication and will pop out after her lessons to say hello to the waiting parents. We love Roos Music! (Google Review)

Brittany is so lovely. She’s positive, upbeat, and it’s clear that she loves what she does. I’m a bit shy and I have anxiety, and that’s why I wanted to take voice lessons. She made me feel at ease right away. I will continue lessons with Brittany indefinitely.
