"I had taken guitar lessons in the past and been disappointed. I never realized how much I could learn from studying with a teacher, until I met Thomas. He has opened my ears and taught me so much over the time I have been taking lessons with him. He is a very talented teacher, and has always been excellent at articulating how to easily play the styles I've been interested in since the first lesson. Thank you.

"Thomas is a very talented musician in all genres of guitar, has gifted skills as a teacher, is patient and understanding for all levels of players, and is fun to work with, the time during lessons always goes by too fast."

"Our daughter's time studying with Thomas was some of the most productive of her guitar playing experience. Not only did he provide a positive interaction through his lessons, but also an amazing foundation of knowledge with which to build. I would recommend to anyone interested in studying guitar, to study with Thomas.
James McDonald
"Thomas is an incredible teacher and wonderful human being. Our daughter, Cass, has come so far with Thomas's teaching, it is really unbelievable. Everyone should be so lucky to be taught guitar by Thomas. Really.

"Studying guitar with Ben has been a great experience. I am inspired by his knowledge of music theory and by his experiences as a performer. And he is always patient and creative about finding the best ways to help me learn – not a rigorous method but a very flexible approach. I always look forward to my time with Ben and enjoy it!"

"Ben is a great guitar teacher. He always goes the extra mile to make my lessons both challenging and fun."

"I feel very lucky to have found Ben as a guitar instructor. He can break down complex fingerstyle guitar into understandable chunks which can be built upon to reach songs I never imagined being able to play. I've been playing for a long time with mixed results both personally and with instruction. With Ben, however, I feel like I'm making real progress and I'm actually excited to play again. I highly recommend Ben to anyone who is interested in fingerstyle guitar and reaching a higher level of playing ability."
