Comfortable environment where everyone, young and old, experienced and novice, is welcomed and valued. Three years ago I started lessons at Brooklyn Guitar School. Two thumbs up for Brooklyn Guitar School! I played guitar in my teens but could never get past basic open chords. Teachers and fellow students are very positive and supportive so you are not afraid to get out there. Despite the fear that comes when performing. Everyone works to create a safe place to grow and express your abilities despite doubts that players always have about themselves. Brooklyn Guitar School gave me that opportunity. Never would believe I would play on stage with fellow performers. This past performance at the Way Station in Brooklyn moved me to write a second one. "Been 2 years since I wrote the review below. The staff is uniformly cool and helpful-they can't do enough for you (from suggestions about buying an instrument to helping replace a busted E string.) So I am over a year into my studies, a proud graduate of their "Beginner" classes and it's just great to be able to fell like I can actually "make music" every so often. The school has a wonderful funky, laid-back vibe and is welcoming to old and young students alike. We played the songs again in Union Square Park this past June. They sponsored an ACLU fundraiser by teaching "Songs of Peace and Freedom" (This Land Is Your Land, For What Its Worth, Redemption Song, City of Immigrants, If I Had A Hammer). The school also sponsors open house sessions, sing-alongs and vocal classes, and group performances. Taking group lessons also allows you to interact with other noobies, support each other and learn together. They are both accomplished professional musicians and experienced, enthusiastic and patient teachers who make sure you get it right while you're having a great time. Koby taught my Absolute Beginners classes and I have been with Michelangelo ever since. BGS teaches a series of incremental skill- and song-based beginners classes that allow you to quickly learn chords, strums and technique, play cool songs right away, and have nearly illegal amounts of fun while you are doing so. I had taken guitar lessons back in the Bronze Age when I was a kid, and I love music of all kinds (OK, maybe not too much disco or Dixieland at any one sitting, but otherwise, let 'er rip). As I continue to improve and reach more musical goals, I will be buying these instructional videos and am very excited to benefit from his teaching methods in a new format, one that is highly visual/interactive and can be reviewed at my leisure.” - Steve M."I was given a gift certificate to Brooklyn Guitar School after my wife researched it online. “Through studying jazz guitar with Jared I have been able to achieve many long term goals including making my own music, improvising/playing with other musicians, and increasing my theoretical mastery of the guitar/music as a whole. He has a way of taking seemingly complex musical subjects and simplifying them into a few rules and principles that clarify a vast amount of information." - Linda C. “I’ve been studying with Jared for years and I always thought that he would make the perfect online teacher. “Jared's approach to teaching theory is very accessible and is easily the most practical thing I've ever learned as a guitar player”. Five star rating for Jared as the best guitar teacher I have had!" - Scott S. Jared's style is unique in that he has the uncanny ability to know where the roadblocks are and provides an approach to get around them. "Jared possess a special skill far beyond being a great and knowledgeable musician, he is a wonderful teacher! I have been a student with Jared for several years and I am thrilled that he has entered the online teaching world.
