What do Students and their Parents say…

…Jerry’s contagious passion for music, patient approach, and way of customizing each session to fit my goals motivated me to practice everyday and be excited for each class. Jerry made each lessons challenging enough so they were not mundane and too theoretical or challenging so that they were still plenty of fun. Jerry’s diligence, empathy, and instrumental proficiency are second to none…

Arash (Ash) Salimi - Adult Student
Jerry has been an incredible guitar teacher for our daughter over the past two years. From the very beginning, he created a welcoming and encouraging environment that helped her grow in both skill and confidence. We’re very grateful for the dedication and passion Jerry brings to every lesson. He’s made a lasting impact, and I’d highly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented and inspiring guitar teacher.
