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

Spencer R. says, "I was seeking guitar lessons to improve my entry-level skills and to be able to write some songs. Just under a year later, I understand various different scales (major, minor, and some modes) and when to use them. I also have a comfortable grasp of the different chords and chord shapes. I was planning to focus on just rock n roll but I've been introduced to a much broader array of music including funk, blues, jazz, reggae, and metal as well as different techniques used within each genre. Lessons have been great and have helped me learn not only what to play, but why I'm playing it too. I cannot say enough good things about Justin who has an answer to any question and an accessible teaching style (which is saying a lot when referring to guitar). Every time I leave my lesson I feel that I've improved and I have the support to inspire me to keep improving."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

Gianfranco N. says, "Dan's a fantastic teacher because he makes you want to be a better musician. He uses different ways of instructing that specifically cater to your tastes and interests. He's familiar with a wide range of music, genres, and instruments. I came to Dan for beginner guitar lessons, but ended up gaining much more musical knowledge than I could have ever imagined. Dan helped me with the technicalities of the guitar, and helped me refine and add to my skill as a drummer of 11 years. In Jam Class, we played everything from James Brown to Nirvana. Dan is able to foster a great community of musicians within Jam Class, and will not only teach you to play, but to perform and work with other musicians. "See more

Natalia C. says, "We had the pleasure of having Sergio perform at my husband’s 40th birthday party, and he was absolutely fantastic! It was super easy to communicate with him and make the arrangements we needed. From start to finish, he set the perfect vibe. His guitar playing was phenomenal, and when it was time to switch to DJ mode, he kept the party going with a great mix of music. What truly set him apart was his professionalism and willingness to go the extra mile—when we asked him to stay longer, he graciously did, making the night even more special. If you’re looking for a talented musician and DJ who knows how to create an unforgettable atmosphere, I highly recommend Sergio. Thank you for making our celebration amazing!"See more

Emily M. says, "Best music lessons my kids and I have had. We have had various music lessons over the years (piano, cello, ukulele, drums), and Lou is by far the best instructor. He meets each individual where they are and is great with all ages. He can weave in music theory, and connect each new skill with familiar songs which helps you see your progress. He’s been a great instructor in ukulele, guitar hand drums, and acoustic drums. 100 percent recommend."See more
