Watch Teacher Teach

“Aaron has me doing things on the guitar that I only dreamed about doing. He is THE BEST.”

“Aaron is a wonderful teacher for both adults and children. He’s a talented musician and good guy.”

“In all 5 years I had played I had HUGE anxiety playing with other people. After four classes with Aaron, that anxiety is gone AND three students from the class and I are going to continue jamming!”

“Aaron was great! He did a wonderful job of feeling out everyone’s skill level and pushing each individual according to were they were at. He fostered a great positive learning environment.”

“Aaron Dorfman is an amazing musician and one of the finest teachers I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. I run an educational non-profit and the energy and passion he brought to our organization pushed the quality of the entire program forward.”
