I customize my approach with each student according to capability rather than curriculum and gravitate toward motivated students. Prior experience with a musical instrument is a great but beginners who are committed can succeed. Like students, I'm driven and motivated by small accomplishments and seeing the lights go on. I evaluate the student's ability in the moment at each lesson and try to give the student a solid, useful skill or technique each time....

Melinda V. says, "Danny Kerner is a brilliant guitar teacher. Growing up a music lover and learning to play instruments myself as a child, it was important to me that my own 3 boys would have the same opportunity to learn to love and play music. It has been so wonderful and rewarding to see their music development, learn, grow, and graduate to recitals and concerts (well at least my oldest and youngest…). Danny, has played a huge part in my family’s musical 🎶 growth. He is an amazing musician and composer. Danny is able to alter his methods of teaching to what best suits his students’ preferred way or learning. Teaching by ear or learning to read music, what impressed me the most is Danny’s ability to get be most out of all and any levels of talent. In addition, his warm nature and infectious laugh makes learning fun. Danny is highly recommend. " Read more

Children can start blues guitar lessons between the ages of 6 to 10 years old at the earliest. The best time is whenever they can hold the instrument easily and have the hand strength to press on the strings.

Adults of all ages can learn to play blues guitar with the right instruction and regular practice.

  • For kids, ask other moms and dads what their kids say about the teacher.
  • Get a plan on paper about when your lessons will be before you start.
  • Pay a little at first to see if you like the teacher before you pay for a whole month.

  • Can I have one lesson for free to see how I like it?

  • What books should I get, and do you know where I could find used ones?
  • How many different blues guitar techniques can you teach?

  • What should I bring to class, and how long is each lesson?

  • If I have an urgent problem and need to cancel, what happens?
  • Can I choose some songs that I want to learn?

I studied with Lucas for a few months. My progress began slow but as I started to take my practice more seriously, I was surprised by how quickly I improved!

Jan is strict but a lot of fun, and I'm learning way faster than I expected to. As long as you practice the things she tells you to practice every week, you'll have a great experience

José is an amazing teacher!! He is very knowledgeable and has amazing guitar skills that motivate me to practice more. I found him on here during quarantine and we would do lessons whenever we could, he is very accommodating to you’re schedule needs. He is very patient and kind, never made me feel bad when it took me too long to remember a chord😂 By far the best guitar teacher I’ve ever had!

If you want to learn how to play the guitar, want to improve and grow your proficiency at any level, I can’t recommend a better teacher than Danny. Danny has the incredibly rare combination of being one of the best guitarist in Texas (Find a video of him online with his band The Sidepiece Collective…….and get ready to be blown away) and being an equally talented as a music teacher. Danny, is so kind, patient and passionate about teaching his craft. It warms the heart that a professional with so much talent can also be able and work with, even the youngest and least experienced. Learning to play the guitar is a gift that will last a lifetime. As a father of 4 children, I can’t believe it would be possible for me to find a better guitar teacher than Danny Kerner.

Ian was a fantastic teacher who helped me get back into violin after not playing for quite a few years. I grew up playing and he helped to reinstill the passion I had when I was younger. Additionally, he helped introduce me to a new style of playing that I hadn’t delved much into previously. Thank you Ian!
