Mr Glines has been an incredible piano teacher for my daughter the past several years! His patience, encouragement, and passion for music have truly made lessons both educational and enjoyable.

My daughter looks forward to every session and has made remarkable progress thanks to Mr Glines engaging teaching style. He has a wonderful way of balancing technique, theory, and fun, which has kept my child motivated and excited to learn.

I can’t recommend Mr Glines enough to anyone looking for a piano teacher who inspires a love for music and brings out the best in their students!

John is a fantastic teacher. Hes very knowledgeable in various styles and music theory. Geared lessons towards my personal interests and often provided an abundant amount of materials to help reinforce any concepts we went over and anything I was curious about.

As a beginner guitar player John went above and beyond in showing me the basics & ways to improve my playing. Super effective & easy to work with. John broke everything down simply. From chords to learning scales. I’m very impressed, highly recommend this teacher.
