Been taking lessons with Erick for a couple months now, and I just have to say he is the best person to go to for guitar lessons. He adjusts the lesson pacing to you and what you want to learn. Very knowledgeable as he's had formal training from a music conservatory in classical guitar. He's also very flexible with scheduling which is a great plus since my schedule is not very rigid. He's such a skilled guitarest and a very nice teacher. Overall, I would not hesitate to recommend him. Thanks so much for everything Erick!

Erick is an exceptional instructor! I started lessons with Erick after a frustrating attempt to self teach, and it’s paid off tremendously. If you’re thinking of taking lessons I would highly recommend Music Kahncepts!

I am an older guy learning new tricks and Erick has the patience to take me on as a uke student to teach them to me. He knows what he is doing because those tricks are jelling. I am trying to catch up on lost time and he has me on the fast track, plus I am having fun.
