Experienced tutor in Guitar in Ithaca, Dennis offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

Dennis is a highly personable teacher who is invested in your learning. He takes the time to understand your goals and what you want to accomplish, and then tailors his curriculum to suit you. He has helped push me out of my comfort zone and fostered growth in ways that wouldn't have been possible by myself.

Dennis is a great teacher and I would highly recommend anyone to give Guitar Lessons Ithaca a chance if you are exploring guitar lessons. The best thing I can say about Dennis that sums up my experience with him is that he is not just a great guitar player who gives lessons. He is very committed to being a great guitar teacher and spends a lot of time outside lessons to continually increase his teaching skills and it is obvious when you work with him.

I have been taking lessons from Dennis for 2 months after about 3 months of trying to learn on my own. Dennis does a great job of guiding you through learning guitar based on what your goals are. This really helps you stay motivated to practice and be fully committed to learning. I have easily made twice as much progress in 2 months of lessons than I did in 3 months on my own.

Dennis is also extremely knowledgeable about music and not just technique, I ask a lot of questions and am naturally very curious. He is always able to answer my questions with an explanation that is at my level. Even in more music theory related topics where I came in with no knowledge he is able to explain things in a way that I can understand.

I have officially been a student with Guitar Lessons Ithaca for over a year. I have learned a tremendous amount and look forward to learning more. Comparing where I started to where I am now, I am astonished by the progress. It is more progress and commitment in one year than all the years I attempted teaching myself. The knowledge Dennis shares is remarkable. I appreciate the bonus material as well and truly appreciate that he is teaching much more than just guitar; he teaches life.

As an advanced student, I was a bit skeptical, but Dennis has been able to expand my understanding of the fretboard, music theory and chord vocabulary in a clear and organized manner. As a result, my playing, which was relatively static, has begun to improve quite rapidly.

Dennis is an extraordinary teacher. He is encouraging, creative, and tailors lessons to meet your goals. I can almost guarantee that your guitar playing will progress leaps and bounds under his guidance.
