Feedback on Lessons with Greg

"My son really wanted to learn to play the guitar but at just age six I thought it would be too challenging for him. Greg has proved to us that with inspired teaching age is not an issue. Each week my son’s love for music and his guitar grows. We are so pleased to have found Greg in Issaquah." -- Lynne Mack

Feedback on Lessons with Bob

"Working with Bob has been really great. He has been very dedicated in working me through some of the hardest things, and he always has a ton of ways to show me what he's talking about.. Bob also has a wide variety of expertise, which has been nice because although I started learning because I wanted to play more rock music, my interests have changed and he has been right there, ready.  His lessons are fun and interesting, reflections of his personality. The homework has really stretched my abilities so I always come to class ready to learn."
-- Donald Daedalus (adult student)

"At 7 years old I wasnt sure my son had the patience and understanding to play the guitar even though he wanted to.  Bob however has been able to teach him patiently while keeping him motivated and interested through all the lessons.  My son looks forward to lessons every week and remembers to practice at home on his own.  I'm excited about how much my son has learned already and we're both very happy with Bob"

--June (parent)

Feedback on Pre-K Class with Diane

" 'Music for Little Mozarts' provides a unique alternative to classes where the children march in a circle beating rhythm sticks.  The class offers an enriched learning experience that goes far beyond the marching, but still remains active and enjoyable for the children.  The unique curriculum incorporates singing, rhythm, music reading, and even fun characters and coloring.  My son is eager to show me what he learned in class, retains the lessons learned, and look forward to seeing Mrs. Quick each week.  the interactive, hand-on learning experience is highlighted by Mrs. Quick's enjoyment working with the students.  I highly recommend 'Music for Little Mozarts' for those wishing to open up the world of music to their children."  --Hillary Salmieri. fall session 2007

Feedback on Lessons with Melanie

"Casey has learned so much in the past 4 months.  Melanie explains everything that she does right from the start, is brilliant about voice coaching and won't let the kids hurt their voices (thanks to her opera background).  She chooses songs that showcase their voices.  Melanie is very talented, smart, hip, fun and direct"

--Carrie O'Keefe (parent of Casey)
