Mark Sly taught me how to play guitar for three years, starting from the age of 13 until 16. He…read moremanaged to keep my interest in the instrument, while still teaching me the fundamentals of music and guitar playing. He built my skill level to an impressive level in only 3 years. Mark is one of the most honest people I have ever met, was always on time, and was prompt and courteous in calling if he was going to be late, or unable to make an appointment. Not to mention, he always had the best rate we could find. He has a true talent for teaching and clearly loves his job, which makes for a more enjoyable experience for everyone involved. I have, and would recommend him to anyone who was interested in learning how to play.

Mark Sly is an AMAZING teacher! I have been playing guitar for several years and decided to take…read moresome lessons to improve my abilities. The moment I sat down with Mark, I knew I had made the right decision when choosing him to be my teacher. Not only is he an incredible guitarist, he is very knowledgeable about all things music and is able to explain it in a way that is relevant and easy to understand. I learned more in five weeks of taking his lessons than I had learned in ten years of playing guitar! Mark is patient, supportive, and very motivating. I HIGHLY recommend him to anyone! Whether you are new to guitar or just want to improve in a couple areas, Mark is your guy!!!

I am taking guitar lessons with Aviv for almost 3 years now. When i first started i know how to…read moreplay the guitar but i didn't understand guitar i couldn't play scales or improvise the i wanted to. YouTube is great source of information but it can get confusing really quick. With Aviv we covered wide range of music skills like reading music, Music theory, blues, rock, jazz and much more. I have learned much more in those 3 years then i have learned in 12 years on YouTube. I have my own business and sometimes i have to reschedule our class Aviv is very accommodating and do his best so we do not skip class that week. Besides the fact Aviv is a great guy (the beard just makes him look tough) he is like a family member at our house my 11 months old daughter adores him and i can't wait she will be old enough to take guitar lessons with Aviv as well.

I cannot recommend Brian more highly. He is patient, funny, kind, encouraging, and an all-around…read moregreat teacher. I don't think I've ever felt more comfortable to make mistakes in front of an instructor. Also, his ear is incredible; he can transcribe pretty much any song within a couple of minutes - and really complicated arrangements too. He breaks things down into really relatable sound bites that are easy to digest and understand, and he even wrote a book that we follow in our lessons. Work with Brian, you won't regret it!

I felt like I was learning useful/ important theory that didn't feel overwhelming or boring. His classes are really affordable for the quality teaching you get. If I wasn't working and being a mom full-time, I'd totally continue learning from Gabe. All to say, he works well with all ages!

I have taken bass lessons with Gabe for about two years. During that time, he taught me how to play…read morebass, the basics of guitar, and, most importantly, how to think like a musician. The area that helped me the most was music theory and how to play with anyone. Now, I have the tools to analyze any song I play or write and interpret why it may work. I can improve a bass line or be creative with the line in clever ways that I would not have thought about before. It has made me so much more comfortable jamming with anyone. With his lessons, I can get away with playing along to any song. Gabe can sometimes be a bit serious, but his seriousness made me focus much more on any given topic. The pace of the course is up to you, but Gabe will push you forward to help you play things you thought were above your level. Overall, Gabe is incredibly knowledgeable and can teach anything from the simplest concepts or techniques to something more complicated and technical.

My 6 year old son loves to smash things. So when he showed an interest in learning music, drumming…read morewas our instrument of choice for him. He is also ADHD, so when I found Jason and learned about his experience with special needs children it sounded like the perfect fit. We have been taking drum lessons now for four months, and it has been the only class that my son has successfully stuck with. Jason has a tree house, big front yard, and a sound-proof drum room. He moves the kids through the stations so they don't get bored or antsy. This has really worked for us, as it keeps my son moving so he can learn. My son loves it, and we are really happy to watch his success and blossoming self esteem because of it.

Searching all over the Westside for a drum/percussion instructor, I finally found Jason with whom…read moreI've been practicing every week for the past several months. I couldn't have asked for a better person to mirror exactly what I was looking for in a teacher. Jason's classes are personal, professional, practical, and loads of fun. Our personalized sessions have him teaching over played guitar to the student's drum playing, which I found to be an incredibly powerful learning combination that catapulted my skills into a completely different level. I came in as a beginner, lacking the confidence and skill to sit behind a kit and fully express. Jason's approach focuses on a student's inherent strengths that ultimately come back around to attack areas needing attention, all in an environment that allows one to feel very comfortable being vulnerable in order to progress. There's no wasted time here. Jason's classes are practical and practicable, not theoretic, though theory is touched upon (but in a way that is fun and makes so much sense). The practice space is sound proof with a full kit. Great residential neighborhood. Easy Parking. Not to mention, Jason's just a really down to earth guy. My confidence, ability, and personality that now comes out through playing the drums is astounding. It's wonderful having an instructor that sees the uniqueness of an individual, builds off that foundation, and offers the tools, guidance, and instruction for one to really take off.

Jeffrey is a sweet guy who takes the time to learn how to best teach each student individually -- I've seen it time and again with my girls. He keeps things fresh by encouraging them to pick songs they actually like rather than only focusing on songs from their respective technique books and he puts no undue pressure on the kids to move forward: their own pace generally works just fine. I've recommended him to several friends -- whose kids are now students -- and I'll continue to do so in the future. We're lucky he lives so close to us.
