Testimonials from past students
I have been taking classical guitar lessons with John for 5 months now to prepare for an audition to become a Sound Engineering Arts (SEA) major at William Paterson University. Prior to lessons, I had a many years of experience with rock guitar but almost none when it came to classical guitar. John is knowledgeable, patient, and communicates effectively. I am amazed by the progress that I have made with John. Since we have started, I feel my playing has grown more expressive, clear, and confidant. In addition to basic technique and tone quality, John taught me how to better understand pieces based on their place in music history. John’s effective teaching skills are matched by his superb guitar playing. He takes music and teaching very seriously and is clearly passionate about both. Overall, John inspires me to be a better player. Thanks to John I will be starting fall of 2014 as an SEA(Sound Engineer Arts) major at William Paterson University!
