  • Master your key genres like jazz, rock, pop, and funk

  • Look at what people have said about them on Google and Lessons.
  • Request a list of other students they've taught to check their experience.
  • Ask other parents how their children feel about the teacher.
  • Ensure you have a written schedule and agreement before the first lesson.

  • How many years of experience do you have in teaching bass guitar?
  • Do you offer a complimentary initial lesson?
  • What are the typical ages of your students?

Tara L.
My son has been enrolled in guitar classes at Bones Jones Music for the past 8 years. Billy is an incredible teacher who creates a fun, welcoming community for music lovers who want to learn the guitar. My son's taste in music has changed over the years and Billy always meets him where he is and keeps him inspired to continue on the guitar, from acoustic singer/songwriter stuff all the way to technically challenging metal on electric guitar. Billy is clearly investing in the students at Bones Jones Music and truly helps everyone make meaningful progress.
