Guitar, Piano and Drum Lessons in the Barnstable and Hyannis Area

  "My son has always had an interest in music, but was not hooked by the school's music program. I was always forcing him to practice. Since he's been working with Joe, I never have to remind him to practice. He is motivated by learning music that interests him and proud of the music he makes. He has gained confidence and has truly had his love of music nurtured. As a parent, I am thrilled that with Joe, he has delved into music theory, writing his own music and performing for others. It is without hesitation that I recommend Joe as a guitar teacher!" Quotes

Christine, mother
