Student & Parent Reviews
"What’s not to love about Learn at Home Music!? My daughter started lessons at age 7 and is still going strong almost four years later! I find it amazing how well he works with my daughter. It is truly rewarding as a parent to see how much she has grown as a musician over these past years. The online lessons are truly the best and I would recommend them to anyone at any age! Thank you! We appreciate you & your hard work!” - Mercedes
I have been taking guitar lessons here for a little over 10 years now and I can safely say I have never left a lesson without learning at least one thing to add to my “toolbox” as a musician. My instructor has an incredible amount of experience and his passion for teaching brought me back to my lesson every single week over the last 10 years. I have since also learned how to play bass, ukulele, and even a bit of banjo due to his contagious passion for music he manages to bring out of each of his students. I was even fortunate enough to become a part of a band with other talented students who took lessons through Learn at Home Music! My instructor always knows how to put a smile on a student’s face and he keeps me motivated to become a better musician each and every day. - Alec S.
"I love doing guitar lessons. He teaches using a screen-share feature so we can both be looking at the same thing. He writes things out for me as well as shares music sheets. I pick songs almost weekly and he’ll teach me to play them. My favorites are Taylor Swift songs, and hopefully he isn’t sick of them yet. He is not only a great guitar teacher but a great person." - Chloe
“Learning is fun - because he connects with his students and adapts his teachings to their interests and goals. Both of my kids have taken lessons from him - as have I - with great results across the board. I can’t stress enough what a talented teacher he is and how absolutely effective his lessons are.” -Sean S
When I first started my lessons here, I was taking a joint lesson with my grandson. He now plays guitar with his youth group band. I got to watch the instructor's ability to connect with kids and experience his ability to connect with the older generation as well.

"As an older beginner, I was a little worried about starting lessons again. He started from the beginning, saw what I could do, worked in a significant amount of guitar theory (he could see this was a way for me to make connections), and was able to work on songs I wanted to learn. I recommend him to students of any age who are looking to make their dream of learning guitar a reality." -Bill
"I love playing ukulele. My instructor has been helping me learn lots of songs and a lot about chords and tab. I’ve been learning for about a year now. He has me challenge myself and learn new things about music. We work hard and have lots of fun!" - Keila
- "My daughters have been taking music lessons weekly with Learn at Home Music for over a year now. They have learned to play a variety of music and songs, including country, pop, rock, Christmas and more. The instructor has a great personality and teaching talent that my daughters really like. They look forward to lessons because my daughters know they will learn something new every time. My girls and I appreciate his musical abilities, teaching style, and flexibility to reschedule lessons on occasion. My daughters are learning to play guitar and ukulele from the comfort of home, I don’t have to run them to and from music lessons. My daughters enjoy learning, and I can see the progress first hand. As a parent, I like reading the monthly newsletter, sitting to the side as my daughters engage in music lessons, and then watching my girls perform the songs they have learned for family and friends. My youngest daughter was even inspired to try out for the school talent show with a fairly complicated pop song performed on the ukulele." - Mark
- I picked up the guitar in my 40's and I've been taking weekly guitar lessons with Learn at Home Music for nearly 5 years. He's exactly what I wanted in an instructor. We talk about music, learn some music theory, and most importantly, play the songs I want to play. Everything from fingerstyle on Scarborough Fair and Dust in the Wind; rock rhythm and solos; to classic rock and country, we've covered a lot of different genres. He's also really good with developing exercises and scales to help with your practice routine.
I recommend him to anyone interested in playing music (and not only guitar). - Jason V.
- “Fabulous guitar teacher for both kids and adults! He tailors the lessons to the students level and genre of interest. So great at stretching your ability just enough to build confidence as you learn.” -Randi W.
- “My son has been taking lessons from you for about 4 years. He loves the lessons and I am amazed at how well he plays now."- Donna S.
- "I can't put into words how thrilled I am with how you relate with my son. Your lessons are enjoyable, positive and challenging in a way that keeps him engaged and eager to learn more. He looks forward to his weekly sessions with you, which is no small feat, especially for a young teen ... Your musical talents are matched only by your ability to bring out the best qualities in your students. You have a rare and wonderful gift for teaching and communicating with a positive attitude that inspires your students to grow !"

- I first began lessons here about 5 years ago. It wasn’t long before the instructor had me progress from simple chords and strumming patterns to learning scales, modes and lead guitar parts. I can now read music and I really enjoy just noodling around with a backing track. I really like the Zoom meeting format. It’s much more convenient and easy to make a part of my weekly routine. I always appreciate how much we pack into a single lesson. “Learning the guitar” is so much more than I expected but I am really enjoying it!

- "I am a professional musician and play guitar and I can't say enough about him as an educator and musician. You are in great hands if you take lessons from him as he is professional, talented, and the kindest man I know.” - Carina Norlund
- “... a really wonderful school. My son started taking guitar lessons about 6 years ago (when he was 5) - and he hasn't put his guitar down since. My son is able to play and read music really well... Our family is so lucky and glad that we got involved with you!” - Kristin M.
- "I love playing different types of music. He has taught me many songs by different artists, like the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, AC/DC and many more. He's a great teacher who focuses on what I want to play." - Dan, age 13
- "He has an incredible gift with children, young adults and us older folks when extending his wealth of knowledge and love of music.” - Annette M.
- " ... a genuinely nice person, very patient in his approach. He focuses on what your child's interests are. My son wanted to learn writing and theory, and that is what they concentrate on." - Karin D.
