First lessons are like a first date...I look forward to the second date.

Rich really has a great feel for the needs of the student, And he has a great way of teaching music and music theory to someone who has no background in it. The lessons were a gift from my four boys and I plan on continuing the lessons going forward

The thorough and patient instruction is much appreciated.

Very patient, personable, professional, and purposeful. Each lesson is packed full of building blocks for dexterity and familiarity with the instrument.

Great first lesson. Really helped me get familiar with the instrument and showed me some simple techniques to help train my muscle memory and get comfortable (as I'm left handed playing right handed). Looking forward to next week.

Great first lesson! Very knowledgeable and tailored to my previous (limited) experience.

Richard is a great teacher. He answered all of my questions and made great suggestions. Can’t wait for my next lesson. Thanks, tabatha

Clear direction, first session was basic
Anxious to see what the next less will cover

Had a great first lesson with Rich, who was funny, precise, and adaptable.

Only one lesson in so far, but loving it. Friendly. Knowledgeable and open to matching my learning style and being flexible. This should be fun!

My son loves his guitar lessons and looks forward to his lessons. He practices daily and can't wait for the day when he can play second nature. Richard takes his time to make sure my son understands the instrument as well as how to play it.

He is very patient with my 6 year old grandson who is temperamental. Richard speaks to my grandson age appropriately and my grandson looks forward to his drum lessons.

Rich knows his stuff and is very personable. My 7 yr old son connected with him in an instant upon his first lesson.

Good first lesson

I've learned more in a few months with Richard than I have with years of trying to learn before I signed up with him. Great instructor! Fun lessons, making great progress.

Richard is a friendly and thoughtful instructor. I enjoy my ukulele lessons with him.

My first lesson was very good. I am excited to keep learning more. Richard makes it an easy process.

Friendly, knows his stuff, and adjust to my needs.

Great ....
Really making progress and enjoying Richard’s method of teaching.

It is great learning from Richard!

very patient, informative. Makes fun

This was my first lesson on the banjo and enjoyed learning from Richard.

Fun first lesson. Nice style of teaching and made me feel very comfortable.

Great first lesson! I know nothing about music and was a bit scared, but Richard made it easy to understand. I am excited to continue playing. Thank you!

As always, I come away from each lesson with a boatload to practice because Richard genuinely wants to help me become the best player I can be.

Richard patient and good.

Works very well with beginners like myself. Kind, patient, and helpful. Looking forward to further lessons.

Second lesson on the banjo and Richard has taught me so much in just one week! If you want to learn from the ground up, he is the man! Laying the foundation is going to take time and practice, but he gives you so much to work with.

So fantastic! Every lesson I learn something new and COOL!!

I thought I could figure out Banjo like I did the guitar- wing it. That didn't go so well, but after my first lesson with Richard, I now feel confident that I can actually play this banjo and KNOW what I'm doing. Great teacher!!

Working with Richard has been a blast! He is patient while working with a true beginner and always encouraging. Looking forward to work with him as our lessons continue.

First lesson, very positive, informative. Patient. Cant wait for next!

Richard was very kind and patient during our first lesson. He is a great teacher. Looking forward to our next lesson for sure!

First lesson down...many to go. Richard was great helping me tune and get my first finger placements down to practice with until our next session. Excited for the next one!

Great lesson, thank you Richard!

Great with the instructor. Rough start as I didn't see an intro email from you guys on how to set up, whether he would call me or I him, and such. Maybe I missed it.

Richard is an excellent teacher! He is talented and a great person! I felt he genuinely cared about my goals and helped me achieve them efficiently and had a lot of fun at the same time. I highly recommend Richard!

Richard was great! Looking forward to more lessons for my daughter!

The teacher is very professional. It is a great first less for my son.

Great first lesson!! Lots to learn.. Rich is very patient and knowledgeable. Looking forward to our next lesson.

Just two lessons down, with 8 to go. Richard makes learning fun. His approach to teaching makes learning notes and chords easy. I can't wait until the next class.

Excellent first lesson!

very patient and knows his stuff.

Richard was terrific. Patient, knowledgeable and enthusiastic! I look forward to continuing to work with him!

This was the best music lesson I’ve had thanks to Richard. He made it fun and easy. I get nervous of being a slow learner but he wasn’t phased and made it fit my learning ability

Richard has the knowledge and communication skills needed to be a very good teacher, and he is.

My son always look forward to next lesson. Richard is amazing.

Informative, friendly, patient and knowledgeable.

It is fun to learn basics with Richard. Looking forward to the next lesson.

Very talented guy and so experienced!!!

Very informative, but teaches at a great pace to make sure you understand the material

This was my first lesson. Richard was very patient with me.
I'm looking forward to my next lesson.

Very knowledgeable and friendly. I was surprised at how far I got for the first lesson. Inspired me to practice and give it a go.

It was very nice and I had a lot of fun and I learned a lot!! Lexi

Richard is a great teacher

Patient and yet challenging. Always goes the 2nd mile to be helpful and keep things interesting while concentrating on the building blocks of later competence.

Richard is a wonderful teacher. Very patient and knowledgeable

Great lessons

I learned a lot in just a few lessons. I enjoy taking lessons from Richard. He is professional, knowledgable & on time.

Developing passion for music

Richard is doing a wonderful job at developing a passion for musical instruments with my 6 year old son!

Excellent First Day

Thank you Richard for a first day's great experience. Hope it will continue with your new Banjo
