Josh has been a great teacher for my 9 year old daughter. His lesson is fun and easy for her to understand. He always challenges her and gives her exercises at her own level. We are very happy with his teaching style.

- Yukiko

Our daughter, Maria has been learning guitar with Josh for three years now. We have watched her skills and her confidence blossom under his instruction. It’s not just his passion for music that makes him a great instructor it’s also his kindness, compassion and genuine concern for his student’s wellbeing.

- Amanda

Lessons with Josh are very enjoyable because he encourages you to do your best and isn’t over critical. He’s easy going and makes you feel comfortable.

- Maria (student)

Josh is an extremely effective teacher as he is always paying attention to the details. He makes sure you get a solid foundation of good technique which allows you to play clear, well-tuned chords rather than muddy ones and develop good agility with both the left and right hand. I made more progress with Josh than any other attempts to learn guitar.

Jenn (adult student)

My son and I have been learning guitar with Josh for over 3 years. We love going to class. Especially when we learn new things that are really fun. Josh makes us want to practice so we could reach new levels. Great instructor.

About Me

Music is my passion

Josh began playing guitar at age 13, started performing by age 16, and has played in a variety of bands over the years. As a producer and engineer, he has worked on projects with classical performers, rock artists, and instrumental composers. In 2015 he graduated from Ambrose University with a Bachelor of Music (BMus, cum laude) focusing on classical guitar. Although Josh also loves bass guitar, ukulele, and classical guitar, his first love is still electric guitar. Over the past few years he has discovered his love of composing as well.
