Although, I was a naive kid who didn't know much she made me enjoy piano and changed my life by helping me adapt to changes and learn pieces of genres I didn't know I liked.

She created an open space for me to create my own motivation to play piano for myself and enjoy playing. I thought practicing was a chore but I realized in my 2nd year I just love piano.

*Review of: Johnny Lightfoot and The Ultimate Songwriter's Tool Kit…read moreMy experience with Johnny Lightfoot of Lightfoot Productions has been nothing short of transformative, both as a bass student and as someone interested in songwriting. Before finding Johnny, I spent two years studying with three different bass teachers and tried numerous online learning programs. While all of these instructors were talented musicians and good people, none of them truly knew how to teach. I came away from those experiences having learned very little despite investing significant time and money. Everything changed when I found Johnny and his wife, Trisha. By the end of my very first one-hour lesson, I had learned more than I had in the previous two years combined. More importantly, I immediately recognized that Johnny possessed something I had not encountered before: the ability to teach. What sets Johnny apart is that he doesn't simply show students what to play--he teaches them how to learn. That distinction made all the difference for me. Having never played an instrument before, I had always wanted to learn bass but wasn't sure I could. After that first lesson, I knew I could succeed because Johnny had broken the learning process down into clear, understandable steps. Whether you're learning bass or guitar, Johnny's system is uniquely effective because it focuses on understanding rather than imitation. Instead of memorizing information that is easily forgotten, students become active participants in the learning process. As a result, they learn more, retain more, and gain the confidence to continue progressing on their own. I have never encountered another instructor who has simplified and organized the learning process as effectively as Johnny. He has a great ability to remove the mystery and intimidation that often surround learning an instrument and replace them with practical, easy-to-follow methods that produce real results. Finding Johnny was a turning point in my musical journey. If you're serious about learning bass, guitar, or songwriting, I wholeheartedly recommend both his instruction and his book, The Ultimate Songwriter's Tool Kit. They have changed the way I learn music and given me the confidence to pursue goals I once thought were out of reach.

I was looking for a shop to restore a "1948 OLDS Super" B flat Trumpet that I found at an estate…read moresale. To say the least, this horn needed some love after sitting in someone's garage for decades. As luck would have it, this horn was identical to my very first Trumpet that my Aunt in Chicago sent to me in 1964. With that horn, I played a solo at my High School Graduation. Eight years later, the horn was mysteriously stolen. I google searched for a musical instrument repair shop. The second call I made was to The Horn Shop in Fresno, CA. Harry Siverly, the man that answered the phone is also the owner. He shared his years in the business, both as a musician as well as his experience restoring (over hauling) basically all instruments. I had a good feeling about Harry and arranged an appointment. On meeting Harry, I shared how I met my high school Band Director Gene Sherry, who literally taught me how to hold the horn, and privately tutored me. It turns out that Harry knew Gene Sherry and his daughter Elaine, who was also in Band at the time. In that first interaction I told Harry how the estate sale horn was identical to my first trumpet. Harry did the research and authenticated 1948 as year of manufacture. Harry asked for my input, and regularly updated me on progress throughout the restoration. Harry's excellent understanding of the horn, great communication skills, focus and passion exceeded expectation. The pictures below speak volumes. If you are looking for an unprecedented expert in all aspects of your musical instrument whether you are looking for an instrument, service and maintenance, Harry and his team should be your first stop. Harry, like the great Tom Brady, is "the one to get it done". Choose Harry, and like me, you'll be glad you did. Barry Bagus
