Ani B. says, "Look no further--you've found the perfect guitar instructor! Super patient & super knowledgeable, Vreny ensures you make the most of every guitar lesson and helps set goals that are fun to meet. He is very caring and wants you to enjoy every minute of your lesson. I'm always amazed at how quickly lesson time flies by, and that's because I'm engaged and learning something new. And he always asks, after every lesson, a very important question: "Did you have fun?" Yes, Vreny, I'm having great fun, and heartily recommend you to all my friends interested in learning guitar. It's been an awesome ride so far!"See more

Matt G. says, "Tristan is the consummate teacher. He has a deep understanding of all aspects of the guitar. He not only is a great player himself but he's a wonderful teacher. He has an uncanny ability to take various concepts, some of which are complex, and simplify them with well thought out explanations that often involve apt analogies to non-music things. Some guitar teachers simply teach patterns and forms but never really get into what is behind those things. Tristan makes sure you understand the "why" behind what you are learning which always leads to a better result. Whether you just want to play the guitar as a hobby or want to see how far you can take your playing, Tristan is the perfect instructor to help you meet your personal goals."See more

Sarah Bohannon says, "Eric taught my husband and I for a little over a year on guitar and banjo, and we'd still be with him if it weren't for time commitments on our part. Learning music is for all ages!We're very impressed with the class space he has set up in his new (as of early 2022) space on Madison Boulevard.It is small for now, but with the experience and expertise Eric brings, we have no doubts classes will soon outgrow the space.He has been flexible with our time and access needs and very accommodating with regards to illness. His hourly rates are comparable to other teachers in the area, and it's a personalized experience. Whether you're an adult wanting to learn or a parent seeking lessons for your child, Madison Music Academy is a great place to go."See more
