STUDENT AND PARENT TESTIMONIALS

"Kyle is an amazing guitar teacher! He was able to connect with our 14 year old son right away, and we now leave every lesson with him eager to practice and learn more; a level of excitement we had not seen from him in years! Kyle takes the time to provide great feedback after each lesson to help guide the entire week’s practice. As a teacher (and the person that must listen to my son practice), I can also attest to Kyle’s professionalism and expertise. His personalized curriculum and methods have been extremely effective in growing our son’s skills and keeping him engaged."

- Paula, Mother of guitar student

"Kyle is an extraordinary guitar teacher. He worked with me to select and polish demanding classical pieces, and most importantly he taught me how to practice. He knows how to push his students without being harsh or demanding, and his explanations of technical problems and musical theory are clear. By far the best music teacher I have ever had!"

- Anon. guitar student

"Kyle is an excellent teacher! He relates to my 7 year old ukulele player while still pushing her to improve. As I listen in on their sessions, I hear lot's of giggling, creative collaboration and jamming. My daughter looks forward to lessons and is inspired to practice in between, because she wants to make Kyle proud."

- Brooke Conlin, Mother of Nealey, ukulele student

"Kyle is a great instructor. I think my guitar playing skills have improved greatly with only eight lessons."

- Patrick Frazer, Guitar Student

"As a adult with little to no experience in Guitar playing, I was always curious about learning to play. I finally got the opportunity to take lessons. For me, having Kyle as an instructor is great. He was able to guide me forward and I have more confidence in playing the guitar. Kyle is a very patient instructor and a proficient player himself. I can say I’ve learned something new every lesson I have taken with him. This is key to continual improvement and I have seen great gains from where I’ve started. I personally like the fact that Kyle pushes the envelope with my skills so I can continue to improve. I also have confidence that as I progress that Kyle can take my skills to the next level. I would recommend Kyle to others who are serious in learning to play guitar regardless of their age."

- Mike Makabali, Guitar Student

"I've been one of Kyle's students for about a month and wanted to leave a review. Kyle plays the guitar with extraordinary elegance; he is also a superb teacher. At our first meeting he instantly recognized a few inefficient areas of my playing technique and showed me how to fix them. He explains technical and musical issues very clearly - he also clarifies why they are important and how they fit into the whole picture of guitar technique and performance. A fantastic instructor."

- Ari Samsky, Guitar Student

"It is always a pleasure to listen to Kyle perform. He has taken all of the experiences and knowledge from his teachers during his training and has continued to strive as an excellent performer. Kyle is extremely professional, and has the ability to easily connect with those who are listening to his performances. He is capable of performing different genres...and has such a pleasant personality allowing him to work well with people of all ages in any situation."
