He was excellent! Very patient and explained what he was teaching in a way my 7 year old could understand.

I bought these lessons for my 14-year-old son to improve his cello playing. Josh was personable and easy to follow. He was flexible with our schedule. Would definitely recommend him and I will likely continue lessons over the summer.
