Good teacher, really puts the thought into what he is teaching and how he should teach music concepts. Put in the work and you'll be very satisfied.
Valentine Koltunowicz
John has a thorough grasp of music and is also very adept of sharing/explaining that knowledge during the lessons. You can feel his love of music and his enthusiasm rubs off on you. I thoroughly enjoyed my lessons with John and would recommend him to others as well. Valentine (Trumpet)

John is a great teacher. He has a wide range of knowledge and he has tailored lessons to suit my experience and goals. He's been very patient and generous with his time. Many times he's made a suggestion which resulted a large improvement in my playing. I'm very happy with the progress I've made since starting to study with John.
Ross Mados
I have been learning with John for about a year. It is a pleasure to be his student and study music theory and piano with him. John’s teaching methods have helped me make significant progress over our sessions. He has also been generous in providing supplemental material that has helped me to gain an understanding of how to approach complex musical pieces and expand my musical acumen. 5 Stars. Why couldn't the string quartet find their composer? He was Haydn.
Lisa
My son has been studying trumpet with John for several years and has made great progress. John is patient, flexible, engaging and professional. He clearly explains and demonstrates theory and concepts, and he provides a variety of music and exercises for my son to practice with. Highly recommend.
