I took bass guitar lessons from Josh for over two years, and over the course of those years I learned a ton from him! His teaching style worked really well for me, given that it was more song- and riff-based rather than exercise-based, so both my ability to play plus my knowledge base of songs expanded a lot over my time taking lessons. Overall, I would recommend him to anybody looking to play guitar or bass at any level, since he always meets your skills where you are and builds up from there in a way that actually improves both your playing and your confidence!

He was extremely patient and helped me learn in the best way for me. His teaching worked around my schedule and did not put on too much pressure.

Josh is an amazing guitarist and super nice guy. He’s very patient and helpful. As an adult taking lessons for the first time, he tailored lessons to what I wanted to do - mainly picking songs I liked and helping me learn how to play them. If some chords were too “hard,” he’d show me alternate, easier ways to play it similarly. I’d recommend him to anyone learning to play or existing players who want to advance!

Joshua is an outstanding instructor. We first enrolled our son when he was young, starting him on the ukulele, and he quickly progressed to guitar. Over the years, we’ve worked with Joshua both in person and remotely, and his guidance has only deepened our son’s love for playing and strengthened his skills. Joshua’s mellow, encouraging approach—paired with his willingness to let our son choose the direction of his music—has made learning both fun and inspiring. I would recommend Joshua one-hundred times over!!

I loved how Josh would integrate songs I enjoyed so that I could learn the music on guitar. He was always very good about going over lessons to ensure I grasped the materials and was super detailed about music theory. I had a great time learning acoustic guitar with him!

We enjoy working with Josh each week and appreciate how he goes out of his way to prepare us for each weeks lesson.
The lessons are informative and have made my daughter a much better guitarist. Josh is very knowledgeable about theory and conveys his knowledge in a professional way.
