​​"Phil and I so much appreciate what you have taught Matthew
and the experience he has had with you this year. 
He absolutely loves guitar. All I have to say is 
"Matthew, if you don't get your homework done, no guitar"
and he's into action. The other day he said,
"Mom, I'd rather jump off a building than give up guitar."

 ​ ~ Sherry Carlson

"Best Guitar Teacher ever!" ~Tamra Taylor-Fowler


​"My son began taking guitar lessons with John as a more advanced player. John really helped him to grow
and become a much better and more precise guitarist. John's guidance was instrumental in helping my son with his audition
pieces for Berklee College of Music. He was accepted and is now in his first semester.
​Thanks John for being a key player in his musical journey!" ~ Andrea Bale

"He had Junior playing songs after his first lesson. 
​The man is amazing. Give him a call."
​~ William Lowery

"​Sometimes I feel such profound appreciation, I just have to say something.
That lesson last night was one of those points in time that changes everything…. 
I was still stumbling around missing the one simple thing -
the touchstone that you zeroed in on immediately and taught flat out in one hour.  ​
What I want to say here is a recognition of your very fine and rare gift as a teacher.
The ability to get right to the heart of what needs to be learned, and how.
This is so rare, and so magical when it happens. I am a better teacher for watching you do your thing, reflecting on what happened in a lesson and incorporating
that experience into my work in the classroom. You are inspiring.
If I were on the teacher of the year committee, my vote would be no contest." ​ ​
​~ Elizabeth Teagarden, Teagarden House Concerts
