REVIEWS

"In my fifteen years at this College (twenty-five years of college teaching total), rarely have I encountered a student who has progressed musically and intellectually as Kyle Phaneuf." - Joseph Darby, Ph.D.

"Kyle Phaneuf of Keene State College closes the afternoon concert session with a lyrical rendition of Augustin Barrios' Valse in G, op 8. no. 4." - Boston Guitar Society

"Kyle Phaneuf is a talented young musician who exemplifies our strong tradition of talented Granite State musicians and artists. The Governor and Council thoroughly enjoyed the classical guitar selections he played for us at Cheshire Medical Center, and I look forward following what I am sure will be a successful musical career." - NH Governor Hassan

"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

"As an 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

"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, a ukulele student

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