    Rick is quick to see where I am struggling. He is easy to work with and gives me some structure which I need in order to learn. Makes the time very comfortable.

    I was excited and nervous to start ukulele lessons. Rick quickly makes you feel at ease-greeting me for the intro lessons playing his guitar! With an incredible ability to encourage and motivate he is the ideal instructor. It is very apparent that he loves music and sharing that love with students (of all levels!)
