MEET JOHN

After playing guitar for 50+ years, I began offering guitar lessons in 2003. Since then, I’ve had the pleasure of helping many hundreds of students — young and old — achieve their musical goals. Now that’s what I call, Livin’ the Dream!

Written by one of my very young students
"John has been extremely encouraging and patient. He has helped me fulfill my goal of becoming a guitar player". John Z. Bowling Green
I have known John for the better part of 13 years and have been taking lessons from him for just as long. John has always been willing to work around my busy schedule, and he has pushed me over the years to improve myself personally and musically. Learning to play guitar with John as my teacher has taught me many intangible life skills that are hard to come by elsewhere. John is patient when I'm having a bad day musically and is always ready and willing to explain theories or what it is that I am doing wrong so that I can improve on it. He is clearly passionate about what he does. He has made me a better guitar player and person. Jon B. Bowling Green
