"Matt has instructed my sons, ages 12 and 14, for the past few years on guitar and now one of them on ukelele. They started as beginners and now enjoy playing non-stop. In addition to helping develop their love for music, Matt has always been punctual and professional and is a welcome addition to their weekly schedule. He is always very flexible and willing to help his students learn not only the essentials, but encourages them with music they enjoy to keep them interested."

"She's GREAT! Arjun has been so motivated by not only her attitude but her preparation and song selection. This week it's a Star Wars song and he's THRILLED! She's also been teaching Ashish and he's sticking with it - which I think says more about Teacher Lara's determination and patience more than anything :) We like her!"

"Lara is an excellent teacher. Each student is unique and comes into music at an individual level with specific needs and interests. She adjusts to those needs and interests to support each student in the best way that she can. She has helped me learn rapidly at the pace that I wish to go and has been entertaining and fun to be around at the same time. I couldn't ask for a better person to learn from."
