Erica T. says, "I’ve been taking ukulele classes with Summer for just over a year. In that time, I’ve learned numerous chords and songs, as well as learning to read sheet music for the ukulele. The lessons are always enjoyable, and she adjusts the content to fit my goals. I highly recommend Summer as a very effective and patient teacher!"See more

Lane S. says, "My 17 year old son had such a great experience with Brandon. He met his equal in love of music and great songs. Brandon took the time to discover favorite genres and artists. Then they jumped in right away to start learning chords and methods in the guitar. Great balance of relationship and mentor to encourage practice and improvement. We are looking forward to continuing this journey."See more

Richard S. says, "Ahmad is an easy going teacher who kicks my butt at the same time. He's a stickler for the foundational elements, which is exactly what I need to take my guitar playing to the next level. He is truly interested in seeing me improve. I'm a songwriter and I need to up my game to be able to hang with co-writers who are more advanced musically, and I also have the goal to play out at writers rounds and open mics and I need to get a little more proficient for that. We're playing acoustic. We've done both Skype and in-person lessons. Highly recommended. Good location. Update: I recently joined his Guitar Mastery Apprenticeship program, and it is fantastic. Wish I joined earlier. I want to make a living out of my passion playing guitar and Ahmad said he can help. He did! 3 month into the program I am making more than $10k/month from performing and publishing songs. Next month is on pace to beat that amount! I like and appreciate Ahmad!"See more

Joy C. says, "Brad is amazing! As a person he is easy to talk to and as a teacher he is very patient and incredibly clear. He is very knowledgeable and actively encourages students to explore and go beyond what is written in the sheet music. He always makes sure that lessons are going at a comfortable pace, and that pieces are enjoyable to listen to and learn. He is quick to point out things I need to fix, and he makes theory and techniques easy to understand and remember. I greatly appreciated his lessons and his understanding of my crazy schedule. :)"See more
