## What AR's Students Are Saying
> "AR taught my daughter guitar. He always kept her challenged, engaged, and motivated through carefully planned lessons which incorporated skills she needed to learn, with songs she wanted to play. Most importantly, his musical knowledge, honesty, patience, and unmatched rapport gave her confidence she never had before!" ~ Maureen K.

> "I genuinely think out of all the guitar instructors I've had (of which there are many), AR has been the best. He is most engaging, and the one I've learned the most from—not just about guitar skills and theory, but about performing, logistics and the music world in general." ~ Adam R.
