My teenage son wanted to take guitar lessons starting during the pandemic. Melody Music Studios offered private lessons in our home which was terrific since other organizations/people who offered guitar lessons did not provide them in the client's home. James was our son's guitar instructor and we (my son & my husband) liked him instantly! On a personal level, he's very outgoing, trustworthy, personable, likeable, relatable, and thoughtful. Professionally, he's a highly skilled guitarist, an enthusiastic instructor, very knowledgeable about guitar instruction, all types of guitars, how to care for and repair guitars, and how to learn and play music, in general. My son was 19 when he decided to end the lessons due to college, work, and other priorities getting in the way of his guitar lessons. We were all heartbroken, because James had become part of our family. We highly recommend James and would use him, again,! The organization, Melody Music Studios, was very easy to work with and provided great customer service any time I contacted them!
