“My 13 year old son has been taking guitar lessons with Riley for more than a year now. The weekly sessions have not only kept my son interested in learning his instrument, but also inspired him to try the bass guitar as well as drums. He seems to be spending a lot more of his free time exploring the different types of music he hears and plays each week with Riley while practicing at home. In addition to being a talented musician, Riley possesses the qualities and traits that make him an enjoyable teacher. His calm and patient demeanor puts students at ease while motivating them to challenge themselves in improve each week”

“Riley is an amazing guitar teacher! I have only been taking lessons for about a month and have seen a HUGE improvement in my playing! Riley is super encouraging and has made learning a new instrument very enjoyable. Highly recommend!”

Elizabeth

“When our teen showed interest in guitar and asked for lessons, we jumped at the opportunity. We wanted to find a teacher that offered in-person lessons and had more flexibility than just a typical music school. In just a few weeks my daughter has learned so much! Riley is a patient teacher and gifted musician.

When you don’t have to remind or drag a teen to lessons or remind them to practice, you know its going well! Highly recommend Riley”

Dessy

“Wow! I am so impressed with my lesson with Riley! When I first signed up for a guitar lesson, I figured I would eventually be able to play simple songs…. I mean, that is the point, but to learn a few riffs on the first lesson?!? How is that even possible! But it was! He even had to teach me how to hold the guitar where to put my fingers and hold the pick. After Riley showed me the basics on holding the guitar, we went into reading the music and what the symbols mean and how to move my fingers. It’s more than you think!

By the time we ended the lesson I was so pumped and excited to learn more and more and to actually play my guitar, not just let it sit in the closet”
