I've been taking guitar lessons from Joe Polito at Allegro for about a year now. Joe is laid back,…read morefunny, super friendly, very patient, and most importantly, a great teacher. If there's a such thing as intrinsic musical talent, I have none whatsoever, but Joe believes that anyone can learn to play music. When I started, I literally didn't even know how to hold the guitar properly, but over the past year Joe has helped me make a ton of progress. He's great at explaining both the theoretical aspects of music, and the practical aspects of guitar playing, such as what finger placement to use when playing difficult riffs. I've still got a long way to go with my guitar playing, but I'm certain that I wouldn't have gotten nearly as far as I have without Joe's instruction.

My child has been taking violin lessons with Eric Weber for over a year now and I am very happy…read morewith my child's progress and Eric's teaching method. The location is very convenient, with a large parking lot. The price is very reasonable and much cheaper from where my child initially took violin lessons. When everything shutdown due to shelter-in-place directives, Eric quickly pivoted to holding his lessons on Zoom and my child's lessons just continued on as normal. Eric is also flexible with rescheduling lessons. I am very happy with Eric and very highly recommend him for anyone who wants to learn a string instrument.

I don't understand why some people are so bitter off the bat even when greeted with kindness.

My son is 9 and has just started the bass. He had 2 lessons and then his 3rd lesson was cancelled…read more We turned up the next week and the scheduler realised they had made a mistake and the teacher was away this week not last. His teacher then cancelled the next lesson. We turned up today and the teacher was 15 minutes late, told us the scheduler told him we had cancelled and then disappeared into the back to argue with the scheduler about it and never came back. My son has now missed 4 consectutive lessons. 2 of which we drove him to and had them cancelled after we arrived. Really spirit crushing for a kid who's just getting into an instrument. He's been paractising the same 5 notes at home for a month now. We're going to cancel and take him somewhere serious. Total time wasters here.

Her teacher Johana has been able to teach her technique tricks to fine tune her playing and bring out the color of the pieces. It is amazing to discover that there is still so much to learn and I think it has motivated my daughter to practice more. My 8 yr old is taking lessons with Jaime, and she is very patient and explains why things have to be done a certain way, which my daughter really likes. It helps her better understand what the exercises want her to achieve. Jaime is also starting to teach her some advanced bow techniques, which make her feel so 'grownup'.

He picks songs based on the preference of the learner and sprinkles in a bit of music theory and note learning along the way so it doesn't feel like work.

Would definitely recommend him as a teacher!

He has taught me not only how to play but much about music in general. Brian's method has you playing songs as you learn which makes it much more fun.

I have learned to play a wide variety of songs from several Beatles tunes to some classical. I strongly recommend lessons from Brian. BR
