“My lessons with Bob have been such an exciting experience! If you are willing to put in the time and follow Bob's expert teaching, you will be able to play beautiful music and bring a new joy to your life. Bob's gifted talent and vast experience is impressive, his love of music and desire to share his passion is inspiring. Open communication is key, Bob welcomes your questions, he feels that no questions are silly or stupid, especially if you're new at this! He wants your feedback and encourages dialog to make your lessons meaningful and the best for you!” Mary G

What I like most about Russell is that he is such an enthusiast and encyclopedic savant of modern and classic folk, rock, blues and country. If he doesn't know the song from memory, he'll fire it up on his phone and figure it out in real time. And he readily adjusts to what you want and need. If you just want a partner to play with, that's fine with him. If you want to go deep on music theory, he's there for you as well.

Varis taught both of my boys piano (first instrument) and then continued to teach one of my sons guitar. He instilled a love for music which has had a lasting effect. He's a talented musician himself which was inspiring for my sons. He's also super accessible and works with each student based on their music interests and skills/needs for development. Having the lessons at home was extremely convenient given our hectic schedules, and Varis was always super flexible if we needed to make a scheduling shift. My only "constructive criticism" is that with only half an hour for a lesson, I wish more time was spent on things that couldn't be done without Varis there (i.e. warming up, looking up online resources, etc.) Overall very happy!

Wow! Billy is a fantastic teacher, keeps me motivated! Really helping understand guitar in a way that I couldn't do on my own.

Curtis has been teaching my 7yo daughter how to play the ukulele for the past three months. His patience with her attention span and her fluctuating willingness to play each week is commendable. Some weeks she's fully focused, and other weeks she's somewhere else. He has a great understanding of how to work with children to build a rapport. Because of that, she looks forward to her lessons every single week. She is able to be her goofy self during the lessons and, from that, Curtis is able to find her strengths in order to build her technique and understanding of the instrument. He works with whatever level of ability she brings to the lessons each week and will come up with activities on the fly to suit her needs and interests. As a bonus, since I sit in on the lessons to help assist, I too have started to strengthen my ukulele abilities! These lessons have been a great experience and have given us something positive to look forward to in the middle of the pandemic.
