For 8 years, he fostered my sisters' and my talent for piano, violin, bass guitar, guitar, and he even coordinated our band for a talent show. I am proud to say that I actually continue to play the piano after all these years, which I give all credit to Mr. Rob for developing my long-lasting love for piano. I have such fond memories of the countless lessons and recitals over the course of 8 years, and he made the experience so enjoyable. I am looking forward to having my future kids learn music from such a talented and passionate musician. -Tatum Reddington

Not sure there's an instrument he doesn't teach well. He comes to you, which is another huge plus and at whatever hour we can manage with our schedule, which is tough. I know he was a teacher for years too, so he really know how to get the kids to learn.

My son has been a student of Sidney and Greentree Music for over 4 years and we couldn't be happier…read morewith the results. The instructors are consistent, trustworthy and experienced. One of the reasons it has been so easy to stick with Greentree Music is that they have adapted to my son's changing musical interests and have never tried to make him fit into one style of music or way of learning. Sidney quickly picks up on what will motivate his students and his primary objective is to nurture and explore their interest in music. Our oldest child has "graduated" from Greentree and now our 10 year old and 6 year old will continue on the same path.

I'm a beginner guitar student aged 50+. I always wanted to learn guitar but just got around to it…read more Sid and Greentree have made so happy I decided to give it a try. From theory to jamming together, every lesson is a step ahead for me and tailored to my interests I would say yes to any adult who wonders if there is still time to learn and a definite yes to kids who are drawn to music!!

Mark H. Has been teaching my daughter piano since she was in 2nd grade. She is now a freshman in…read morehigh school. He has helped her work through her piano tests every year so she successfully passes and that wasn't always easy because she just recently found her love of piano. Mark is caring but, when needed, can push his students which I really appreciate. He is caring but honest with what his students need to do to be successful. As a teacher myself, I understand the importance of honesty while applying the gentleness Mark is so good at to achieve piano learning in students, especially the younger ones because maybe they aren't so cooperative like mine (was) haha. He brought her a long way and now she not only loves piano but she loves Mark too. Thanks Mark for teaching my baby this beautiful skill. You have no idea what it means to me and my husband.

When I decided to 'take up' the guitar at 50, I wanted to find an instructor who matched my "never…read moreforget the 90s!" soul - a real rocker with roots who could understand where I was coming from as a former orchestral musician-turned "Drop - D, baby!" Mitchell dug my vibe from day-one. I told him what I wanted to get out of our time together and just dive in to all the music I've loved but couldn't play on an oboe. Acoustic? Electric? My ear-mood changes from week to week and Mitchell is cool to flow with my jam. Oh, and I'm also learning proper technique and whether or not to trust guitar-tab apps. He's got a wicked ear and can pick out the oddball chords from the sketchiest recordings! Mitchell is awesome at working with my weird schedules, too, which is a sanity saver. His new studio is pretty 'lit'. Meet the guy, and you'll know - yeah, this is gonna be awesome!

Dave Goldberg is a talented recording artist and teacher. He has performed with several big names…read morein the jazz world. His CD releases have earned critical acclaim as well as industry awards. More importantly, Dave is a great person and a caring teacher. I'm a teacher at a local Middle School - Dave was invited/volunteered to teach some classes during our Career Days Program where we bring a variety of professionals into the public school classroom. (see attached pictures). He presented to about 120 students, in addition to teachers, parents, other community members and city officials. All of them were impressed with his patient, calm demeanor and strong communication skills. In addition to personally observing his teaching skills, I have attended some of his live performances - his groups are always a hit with spectators, businesses and other venues that book him. To sum up: An award winning musician, with top notch teaching skills, real world experience in the industry, and he cares about supporting his community - That's as good as it gets in my book - 5 stars!

He demonstrated these traits each and every time my son (age 14) had a lesson with him which has been for about one year now. He teaches his students how to read music and understand music composition, not just how to play songs. He follows a structured program with practice homework and home-video lessons. It has been a wonderful and enriching experience for my son. I highly recommend David and G4 Guitar Schools.
