"
Derek is the perfect guitar teacher: an awesome musician, fun, energetic, flexible, prepared, and a super nice guy. My daughter loves her lessons—I always hear the two of them laughing, singing, and of course, playing great tunes. He really knows his stuff, too; he's taught my daughter music theory (painlessly, I might add), song structure, how to shred a lead guitar solo, and plenty more. I really couldn't recommend Derek more highly—he's the best!"

"Derek is a patient and enthusiastic guitar instructor.  I have found his lessons to be the right mix of fundamentals (the stuff you have to learn) with the fun (the stuff you want to learn).  I look forward to my lessons each week and have enjoyed picking up one of my life-long interests of playing guitar."

"Derek did a fantastic job introducing our 10 year old to the guitar.  He was thoughtful in his approach and always found a way to keep it fun.  Not only teaching the fundamentals but also trying out songs that would keep our son engaged. We love Derek!"
