I really like Kevin's upbeat (pardon the pun) nature. He's always positive and that's what it takes for a student to continue to enjoy learning. I've had a very good experience with Kevin and his price is right. Kevin TRULY teaches the joy of making music.

Kevin has been instructing my 11 yo son in private and group lessons for the past year. Initially my son was reluctant to learn and instrument but Kevin has been able to make it fun by playing the music he enjoys. My son practices on his own, without me having to nag, a true testament to how much he enjoys guitar with Kevin. Administratively, Kevin is organized and straightforward. We feel very lucky to have found Kevin - he has enriched our son's life.

After stuggling trying to do "my own thing" online from YouTube videos, etc. to learn guitar for a year or two I have done online guitar lessons with Kevin for ~2 years. Kevin is great. He teaches what you want, when you want and made/kept it fun. If he can teach me, he can teach anyone! Great patience, great pace and always music I was interested in. The fact I can play anything still amazes me. I highly recommend!
