Joe was very knowledgeable, the lesson was great

been playing for a long time but still made me feel like I could really improve upon what I already know

Joe is an excellent teacher. Before I met Joe, I was practicing scales and triads but not really knowing how to use them. Now I am understanding how to put it all together; so now I can be creative and have fun.

Joe is great. He's personable and humble, knows his stuff, and most importantly- knows how to help you know your stuff.  I'd say I'm somewhere between beginner and intermediate.  Joe was able to assess my level easily and tailored his first lesson based on my current knowledge/skill level.  I guarantee I'll learn and grow with Joe.

Joe is an awesome instructor.  His professionalism and love of music are the perfect combination.  I am learning a lot during each lesson ranging from music theory to the best techniques to improve my playing skills.  He is a pleasure to work with.

Joe is an amazing instructor! You can see the joy he gets in teaching people about the instrument he loves. His teaching method is well thought out and effective. he is also great to talk with!

Excellent teacher! Joe is so easy-going and knows how to tailor his lessons to your experience level. It felt like sitting with an old friend and learning how to play, even though we'd never met before. Looking forward to growing as a bassist!

Analysis of your technique is made swift in a non-judgmental manner of speaking.

This inspiring teacher finds the errors I am making quickly and has excellent handouts.

Very Passionate.  likes to simplify methods in simple steps.

Joe is a terrific instructor, he's patient and a lot of fun. Joe teaches at the perfect pace for me and provides resources to reinforce the lessons he teaches. He's AWESOME!!! I'm so glad that I found this site!

For this first lesson things went very well and looking forward to more.

My stepson has had two lessons thus far and his feedback regarding Joe is all positive.  He said Joe is laid back and he likes Joe's teaching style.

Joe is great instructor and a great bass player. He brings a lot of experience and wisdom to his lessons. you can learn music theory from and music instructor but Joe can teach all of that and the techniques that are specific to the bass. If you truly want to learn the bass, then look no further than Joe.

Joe is easily relatable and thoroughly knowledgeable of the instrument. His instructions are clear and he's more than willing to clarify when they may not be.  I think he and I are going to get along famously once we can get Skype to work!
