1 Improvisation lesson

Kevin was very helpful and has a great background in music. He helped me feel comfortable with navigating through Logic and working with mixer settings. He was very encouraging, and gave me some insight into improvisation.
Noam L.

1 Improvisation lesson

Garrett listened to my concerns, gave demonstrations, gave positive and encouraging feedback with a breakdown of critical, easy to understand theory. He also instructed me in what to practice to develop my improvisation. I have specific songs I want to learn so he incorporated chord breakdowns into my next steps toward learning these songs.
Nuno S.

2 Improvisation lessons

Arnie knows a lot about music and he surely knows how to motivate the student to study. The classes cover technique, jazz, improvisation and reading skills. I surely recommend.
