I absolutely love taking lessons with Joe. I didn’t play an instrument as a child, just had regular music class. I decided to start playing cello this year at 41-years-old. I started off taking in-person lessons at a local music academy, but I found myself becoming bored and disheartened. I wondered whether I had made an expensive mistake renting a cello and signing up for lessons. A friend of mine suggested I try a different teacher, so I decided to try Thumbtack for the first time. Joe got back to me very quickly. I decided I should try out a couple teachers to see what was the best fit. Joe was the best, hands down. He is encouraging, but also points out specific things that I am doing wrong and that I need to work on more before the next lesson. I love learning and practicing the cello now. Choosing Joe was a great decision.

I started cello lessons with Joe remotely about a month ago. Joe is an excellent educator who exhibits a lot of patience with a beginner like myself. His focus on building good fundamentals is a defining characteristic that is so important and will surely pay off as I progress on the cello. Highly recommend!

I am an adult beginner just starting my journey with cello. I feel as though I found not only an extremely talented cellist, but moreover, an instructor who is able to teach complex techniques in an manner that is easy for a novice such as me to understand. Joe not only has an innate professional quality, but is also able to make learning exciting and fun. I find that important when pursuing a new endeavor and trying to figure out one's own path, especially with a musical instrument. Lessons are informative and fun. You won't be displeased with Joseph Engel.
