I’ve been taking remote guitar lessons with Trevor for almost two years and have had a fantastic experience. Trevor is such a thoughtful, caring, patient, and engaged teacher, who provides a well-rounded approach to learning how to play guitar and is proactive to customize the learning experience to your unique needs and interests as a student. Trevor goes above and beyond to be helpful and tailor the experience to you, in terms of working toward your goals and learning the style of guitar you're interested in. Trevor has a knack for explaining confusing concepts such as music theory in easy to understand forms, is as great at catching ways you can improve your playing such as your hand positioning as a teacher whose in the room with you, and is able to provide zoom video recaps at the end of lesson so that you can take what you learned and practice it in between lessons. Trevor has exceeded my expectations and I can’t recommend him enough to anyone looking to improve their skills at all levels. I've plateaued at playing guitar for decades and our lessons have translated into me seeing notable progress in writing guitar parts for the first time, which was one of my biggest goals -- thats one of many reasons I can say the return on investment is high when it comes to taking lessons with Trevor.

Working with Trevor for guitar lessons was such a blast. He is an expert in the field, but approaches each lesson with accessibility and kindness no matter what level you’re at. We focused some on theory and some on learning songs I like, which taught me a lot of theory a long the way. Trevor is super attentive to each student and spends a lot of time learning songs and making lesson plans for each individual’s needs. I highly recommend hiring Trevor for guitar lessons!

Trevor exhibits professionalism and mastery in all aspects of his lessons, from punctuality and lesson content to concept breakdown and skill development, I feel reassured under his instruction. Trevor has an excellent ability to make seemingly difficult musical ambitions very approachable and ultimately attainable. My skillset has improved leaps and bounds and I'm grateful to have him as my teacher. Whatever your music goals are, he has the knowledge and practical experience to help you make it happen, all the while making it fun in the meantime.

Trevor is one of those rare people who is an outstanding guitarist, a gifted teacher, and also a wonderful person. I took lessons with him for a couple of years and couldn't recommend him enough! Trevor helped me grow a ton as a musician and it was a blast! Five stars and two thumbs up from me.

Trevor is a great guitarist but an even better instructor. He always has a goal for each lesson, he is patient when it comes to learning new ideas, and he helps figure out different approaches to music that benefit you. He has gotten me through my studies as a Jazz musician in school and has taught me most of everything I know when it comes to music. I would recommend him for any level guitarist, very awesome teacher!
