Reviews for Denver classical guitar lessons
Recent success stories from people in the Denver area.
Marci G.
When relocating to the area, I wanted to find a professional for my child to combine electronic music production & piano lessons. My son first worked with another music school for over a year, but didn't find the lessons as engaging. Through Moon Magnet, we were directed to the best instructor for my student's interests. He is now 12 and has been working with Joia for nearly 2 years for private instruction.
From the very beginning, Joia has created a supportive and engaging learning environment that has deepened Baird's musical skills and also nurtured his passion for music. Joia tailors lessons to meet Baird's interests and abilities and incorporates fundamental to advanced concepts and techniques, making learning both enjoyable and challenging. Joia is patient, clear and encouraging, and it has been wonderful to see my student develop technical proficiency and confidence throughout the years.
It’s clear Joia is not only invested in teaching, but in helping his students grow as musicians and individuals! We highly recommend Moon Magnet to anyone seeking a dedicated and skilled music teacher. I am confident other students will benefit just as much from their expertise and passion for music!

Jeff Rockwell is a passionate, great guitar teacher, he has many students across the globe, he travels different countries bringing guitar equipments and guitar lessons and he does all that wholeheartedly. I knew him 4 years ago and from then he started teaching me guitar once every week. He provided for me and my guitar students with many music equipments.
