    Great trial lesson with clear explanation of the lesson plan. Provided recommendation on which guitar to purchase for beginner. Loved the energy and enthusiasm of the teacher!

    Ian was excellent! He made theory easy to understand and apply, quickly gauged where I was with the Guitar and tailored the class to my needs. We covered the CAGED system and I felt that I now understand the concept much better just from a trial lesson. I'm excited to take more lessons with Ian and would highly recommend him to anyone!
