“John has been a blessing in our lives. My son homeschools and needed an elective. We found John’s music school through a google search and my son has been attending weekly lessons for a few months now. I was concerned that his ADHD would be a barrier, but on the contrary he is blossoming! In fact, we use piano practice as our “break” from his academic schedule and he loves it. John is very patient and not intimidating at all. Side note, I have also noticed positive changes in my sons self-esteem since beginning lessons. This makes sense because he is learning something he is interested in and meeting small attainable goals. That’s a big deal for our family. I highly recommend!”

“Our oldest son began violin lessons with John nearly 10 years ago. Since that time, John has taught all three of our children, two on violin and one on piano and theory. John is an exceptional teacher. His love of music is obvious and he has a passion for passing that on to his students. Over the years, we have watched our boys develop into fine musicians under John’s direction. John has very high expectations for his students and a keen attention to detail, yet delivers his instruction in a kind and gentle manner. John’s willingness to explore different musical genres with my boys has created much enthusiasm and interest with their lessons. Our oldest son is now pursuing a career in music, which I know is in part to the dedication and enthusiasm he learned from John. You could not find a finer instructor.”

“Mr. John is an excellent music teacher. He gives my daughter violin lessons weekly. Her skills have improved significantly since she started taking lessons. He is very professional, patient, kind and intelligent. He rewards the children for practicing and is very positive. He is able to do all this while still requiring a certain standard of excellence. My daughter looks forward to her lesson every week.”

“John is amazing. My son loves going to his lessons and I’m astounded at how quickly he is progressing under John’s tutelage. More than just teaching the mechanics of playing a particular instrument, John makes sure his students truly understand all the faces of the music they are learning. I highly recommend John’s School of Music!”

“John is an amazingly gifted musician and teacher. My daughter has blossomed as a violist. John challenges her and she welcomes the challenge.”

“John is incredibly talented, and truly is a wonderful teacher. He is very patient with young students, and extremely professional. John is everything I could possibly ask for in a music teacher.”

“Mr. John is an excellent violin teacher who has helped me mold myself into the violinist I am today. I had my first violin lesson 10 years ago with Mr. John and from the first lesson with him, I started learning that I use to this day. In my 10 years of playing the violin, I can name numerous things that Mr. John has taught me that are crucial to my violin playing now. He has inspired me to teach my own students and I base my teaching off of the way he taught me. As I get ready for college auditions, I want to say thank you Mr.John for everything you’ve done for me and everything you’ve taught me.”

“I’ve been working musician for most of my adult life, and throughout the years I’ve taken numerous lessons with various different teachers of different disciplines. It has always been a challenge finding someone capable of assessing my current knowledge and ability, and helping me achieve the musical goals, both short and long term, that I set for myself. This often leads to the discouraging feeling of wasted time and money. With John that has never been the case. He’s an incredibly knowledgeable and efficient teacher, who takes his craft seriously. From the moment the lesson begins there is no wasted time. His critiques and advice has been very helpful in correcting the weak spots in my playing and providing a road map for progress. If you are serious about becoming a better musician, I would highly recommend reaching out and studying with him.”
