Adam is THE BEST! My 9-year old has been taking lessons from him for the last couple of years and LOVES playing. I truly believe that's because of her guitar teacher! She's excelling in music, has learned a ton and gets to choose her own songs to learn (which is huge in the amount of time she spends practicing :) Most of all, he's super patient and REALLY GREAT teaching kids. Simply the best!
Beth D.

Adam has been teaching my twin boys, who both have special needs, for about 4 years. We have had several different teachers since they showed interest in guitar, and Adam is by far the best guitar teacher they have had. He keeps them interested and I rarely have to remind them to practice. As a former music teacher myself, I am very picky about who teaches my boys, and I'm very pleased with how they have grown musically with Adam.
