Brian I.

Learning to play guitar with Josh Dixon is a truly enjoyable and enriching experience. Josh has a remarkable ability to make lessons engaging and fun, which keeps me motivated and excited to learn. One of the things I appreciate most is how he breaks down songs into manageable, easy-to-learn sections, making even complex pieces feel approachable. In addition to teaching me how to play guitar, he also incorporates the theory behind the notes, helping me understand the "why" as well as the "how." This deeper insight has really enhanced my appreciation for music. What makes the experience even more personalized is his willingness to tailor lessons around songs I’m genuinely interested in. I highly recommend Josh Dixon to anyone looking for a guitar teacher who combines skill, patience, and a personalized approach to learning.

He’s awesome! I feel like i’m actually learning when we have a session. Any questions that i have he’s has an answer, even if it’s not directly about the bass, like music theory or anything about music in general. He also talked time to learn what I want out of being a musician and curates our lessons to that while still teaching me fundamentals. #1 things is that he’s patient. If he knows that pure trying and your not getting it he’s will to got over a section again and again until you get it right. Very thankful for David.

My instructor is excellent. He plays guitar professionally for a variety of styles and has an effective teaching manner. He is patient and encouraging, and has been adaptive to when I have a physical challenge for that needs accommodating for a few lessons.

Brittany is absolutely the best music teacher any parent could ask for when looking for someone for lessons. My son has been with her for seven years now, and she's helped guide him musically, creatively, and I credit her with part of why he's willing to step out of his comfort zone and try new things. Unlike some teachers, she takes a very personalized approach to help students set and meet goals. She's also built a strong community for her students, and constantly thinks outside of the box to find ways to offer them new opportunities.

So thrilled to have Jim as my daughter’s instructor! He’s incredibly friendly, kind & patient. He has an obvious love for all music & is a wonderful teacher. In just two lessons my daughter is already playing one of her favorite songs & she’s so excited about her lessons! Couldn’t ask for more!

Brett Lemley keeps the lesson stress-free. As an adult learner, he keeps every week challenging at my level & provides helpful tips and review as necessary. I look very forward to my lesson every week. Taking up trumpet is an activity that I do to keep my brain working by learning something new and Brett makes the lesson an enriching experience. He makes definite effort to try to help the student with any sticking points.
