John’s students say:

“I was surprised at how much I learned and how quickly.”

“He showed me simple ways to get around roadblocks that had frustrated me for a long time.”

“He’s able to teach and play every instrument, never become annoyed and keep the excitement and energy going all weekend—superb! Organization, clarity, pacing (fast clip, but seemed to work for the group) kindness, this was the best it could have been.”

“The atmosphere at the jam workshop made everyone, beginners and experienced alike, feel welcome and comfortable.”

“John’s explanations are excellent and easy to follow.”

“John made me (and everyone) feel at ease, created a fun atmosphere.”
