Dr. Jimmy Moore Guitar Studio

Ryan C. Schmidt

I have been with learning with Dr. Jimmy Moore for about 6 years at this point and I cannot express how grateful I am for those years. He has helped my abilities in guitar primarily classical styles, but he has taught me anything from jazz to rock, folk, etc. He has been helping me work up audition repitore for auditions this fall and spring and I can say that without a doubt I would not be where I am today without him. He is inspiring, hard working and knowledgeable, but not afraid to have a bit of fun in a lesson. Begin taking with him and I promise you will have no regrets.

I know Dr. Moore from our years together on the musical staff at a performing arts high school. Dr. Moore is a consummate professional, both as a teacher and as a performer. His encyclopedic knowledge of the instrument and it's history make him uniquely qualified to provide the very highest level of instruction. Combined with his affable personality, Dr. Moore can provide a most enjoyable and highly productive instructional experience.

If there is one person on this planet I could recommend for any reason, look no further: Jimmy Moore would be the man! Jimmy was the most significant impact on my musical career, and the best teacher I've ever had the pleasure of studying under. I had just entered high school and I had a few years of self-taught guitar lessons under my belt when I took an interest to guitar lessons, and the way Jimmy taught guitar energized my passions for music, for life, and art. To imply his lessons were life-changing is an understatement. He encompasses the instrument not only as a tool with which one can create, but also a strict discipline to be appreciated and respected. Jimmy helped me refine my ability to read music and understand theory, which in turn helped my skill level rise. Another thing that separates Jimmy from other teachers is that he grows with his students and cares about their well-being. As somebody who suffers from social anxiety and depression, knowing somebody cared made a big difference to me. We began and ended every lesson with smiles. I was lucky to have him for 90 minutes a day several times a week, and I am thankful that even today, I am able to call him a mentor and great friend. My lessons with Jimmy continued for over four years, until a little after I graduated high school. I am now about to graduate from college, and I can say that after a few years of seeing Jimmy a couple times a week, I carry with me musical skills and knowledge that have afforded me the opportunity to secure performances i'd never dream of, such as weddings and local events. Jimmy is the most professional, highest-quality guitar instructor one can study the instrument under. To that, I can recommend no other teacher in the greater Tampa Bay Area.

Dr. Moore is a fantastic guitar teacher! He is able to customize, with accuracy, his instruction based on the student's abilities, needs and goals. I have been taking classical guitar for almost a year and I feel connected to many of my favorite classical guitar composers because of the way Dr. Moore implements historical, tried and true exercises and study materials. I am receiving a well-rounded education, not only from a playing standpoint but cultural understanding as well. Thumbs up!
