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

Winston K. says, "June is a great teacher!!!! We are doing lessons over Zoom (most of the time) as we live in different cities. I think this would make it difficult to teach but it hasn't at all. Her knowledge of music is vast. I am an advanced player and I wanted t learn music theory and broaden my musical vocabulary. I had learned some theory before but it was while taking piano lessons and it wasn't translating well to guitar. We have been working together maybe 10 months now and her teaching has had a positive effect on my playing. I have a better understanding of what I'm doing and hearing intervals has become much easier. We are progressing into modes and working on Jazz chord progressions now and with a bit of work on my part I am becoming a better musician. If you want to learn the Guitar or Bass or music theory and composition you couldn't ask for a better teacher. Her patience and upbeat attitude make her joy work with!!!"See more

Caroline Kearns says, "Ive been taking lessons on guitar and, more recently, ukulele with Walker for a little over year via virtual and in person lessons. He is extremely knowledgeable, a very patient, positive, and encouraging teacher, and makes lessons/ homework so much fun that it makes you want to really put in the effort to keep leveling up. Sometimes learning the basics of anything can get a bit dull, but Walker makes sure that he is tailoring lessons to your musical tastes and aspirations. Ive come so far in just a year and change and have experienced so much enrichment in my life because of it! Walker is insanely talented in his own right which makes learning from him especially motivating with the hope of one day being even a fraction as proficient and creative as he. Cant recommend him as a teacher enough!"See more
