"We love Ian as our child's ukulele teacher! He's a talented and knowledgeable musician and teacher. We love his teaching approach as he guides and encourages exploration and experiences, teaching about the instrument and what it can do rather than just drills and practice." - Nathan J.

"Ian is the rare combination of an incredibly skilled musician & a patient and caring teacher. He’s not only concerned with developing his students' skills on a particular instrument but also in planting the seeds for a lifelong relationship with music. His enthusiasm is contagious and shines through his teaching. He meets students exactly where they are at and supports them through the ups and downs of learning. Cannot recommend him enough." - Nikki S.

​

"Ian approaches instruction with an emphasis on collaboration and exploration, synthesizing the acquisition of technical skills with my existing musical interests. My lessons were a place where my musical interests and ability felt valued and encouraged: Ian was excellent in providing guidance for my goals as a guitarist, while also suggesting resources for further enrichment. I worked with Ian for about 1.5 years, during which I grew not just as a guitarist, but more importantly, as a musician. I gained new technical abilities, but I also learned how to be proactive in my own improvement, and developed a genuine excitement for studying guitar and music. For any prospective students looking for an instructor who draws from a wealth of musical knowledge and who is truly passionate about what he does, Ian is a great fit." - Marin L.
