    "Austin has been an amazing guitar teacher to our two kids, age 6 and 7, over the past two years. He is a master of his craft! He has a gentle, kind energy and is extremely patient while teaching. My kids have fallen in love with the guitar, and it’s all in thanks to Austin! He’s been a blessing to have as a teacher."

    "My 8 year old daughter loves her lessons with Austin! He does a great job of teaching the fundamentals while tailoring the lessons to her interests. After finding out that she liked composing he went out of his way to incorporate this into her lessons and get us set up with the right tools so she could continue at home as well."

    "Within weeks of beginning lessons with Austin I was successfully fingerpicking Joni Mitchell (an artist I love but never thought would be attainable for me to learn). I really appreciated his patience, calm and kind manner, and simple yet super helpful tips."

  • "In the last year I've made exponential improvements in my playing and understanding of music. I'd strongly recommend Austin to anyone ready to make serious improvement in their playing or learn more about "the why" behind what they're playing."

    "Austin is a fantastic musician and amazing guitar teacher. My 9 year old son has been learning guitar with him over a year. Austin has helped him not only to build foundational skill to the instrument and reading music, but also and more importantly, the ear training. Highly recommend, and thank you Austin!"
