What Guitar Students Say
Working with Jordan absolutely enhanced my abilities as a player. He is responsive, motivated, and curious. He takes the time to get to know his students and develop a plan that works best for them as individuals.
Jordan is a fantastic guitar and music teacher. I never would have imagined that I could progress as quickly as I have in a short few months. He makes music theory easy to understand, and most importantly, he makes me want to pick up my guitar every single day.
Have worked with Jordan for over a year. Does a great job of helping with goals you want to work towards and figuring out how to get you there.
