Neil is wonderful! He was so good at inspiring my son and getting him excited about lessons when he wasn’t in the mood . Neil is so good with kids, he meets them at their level and makes lessons fun and “cool”. And he is such an amazing guitarist! I wouldn’t look further if you need guitar lessons.

I first met Ms. Greene when my 18 month-old son started a toddler music class. I was amazed to watch Mackenna keep 2-8 toddlers engaged with instruments and songs for 30 minutes. She met each child on their level, and helped them experience music in whatever manner they were comfortable.
I can’t speak highly enough of her talents both as a teacher and as a musician. A violinist for over 32 years, of paramount importance was finding a teacher who would help my kids establish a foundation for enjoying music for a lifetime. She has done that and more. And as a business owner, I have been impressed with her work-ethic, calmness under pressure, and responsible nature. She always arrives early, with a smile and ready to make music with little people.
