Blanca P. says, "She knows music well and takes the time to explain it well to children, including music theory. In my experience many children music instructors skip the theory because they only want to show the kids plying, but this leads to weak musicians. If you want your child to be a strong musician, Holly is the right instructor!" Read more

I teach drums, guitar, ukulele, music production, music theory and song writing. My services stand out because I have developed my own cirriculum which puts a strong emphaiss on learning practical skills that will actually be useful in a real musical situation. I also encourage students to study music that excites them. You can learn so much from a simple pop song. I enjoy connecting with my students and help bring their musicianship to the next level. I really love how music can transform peoples lives. I have noticed that when teaching kids it is just as important to be a good mentor or role model for them as it is to be a good music...

Sean isn't an excellent teacher. He covers everything. Theory and songs you want to learn. I am quite pleased and I have taken from a few instructors. He is one of the best!

Perhaps the teaching quality I most appreciate about Robert Jones is his concern that I understand a guitar technique or musical concept. If I don’t grasp a concept, Robert is diligent to offer another explanation or demonstrate another technique. Thank you Robert!
