When I started taking lessons with Max, I knew three chords and very little about music theory. I never thought I would get past G-C-D. His patience and structured lessons helped me become a better player. Max is very encouraging and that was most appreciated. I have more confidence in my playing thanks to him. I even understand the circle of fifths!
Max is a very patient and experienced teacher. I enjoyed my lesson with him and will be back for more.
Max was prepared and was flexible with teaching both guitar and mandolin. He was very patient and knowledgeable.
