I have taken approximately three months of guitar lessons from John Michael. I’ve got to say that John Michael has been awesome! He’s so patient. He’s very affable, and he’s a great teacher. I’ve learned far more at this point than I ever expected, and I will definitely continue my learning with him going forward. I believe that he maximizes my time and the money paid for these lessons, which makes them a great value. I would highly recommend John Michael Durback to anyone who wants to learn the guitar, regardless of a person’s age or skill level.

John Michael is an extremely talented instructor. He tailors his teaching curriculum to the individual and, most importantly, makes learning fun. I am a beginner in my early 50’s and have always wanted to learn to play guitar. John Michael is encouraging, patient and designs his teaching in a way that allows me to move at my own, comfortable pace. After only a couple months, I am now able to read music and starting to play popular songs. I’ve truly enjoyed my journey with him!

My 8 year old daughter has been taking piano and guitar lessons with John Michael for several months. He’s a fabulous teacher! Lessons are well paced which keep her engaged but never frustrated. We are very impressed with how much she has learned in a few months. She looks forward to her lessons every week!

John Michael is a patient and enthusiastic guitar teacher for students of all levels. My daughters started lessons with several years of experience playing other instruments, but none with guitar, and he has continued to challenge them. He is friendly, engaging and flexible with their lessons, often taking time to discuss their interest in music theory in addition to playing guitar. I would highly recommend John Michael to students of any age.
