I started taking lessons with Craig in 2015 as my New Year’s resolution, and I have been happy ever since. Craig is extremely knowledgeable and can work with students of any age and skill level. I knew nothing about music going in and have learned so much thanks to Craig. He is also very patient […]

I’ve been a student of Craig’s for about 5 and a half years. Before I came to him I couldn’t play anything at all. When I first started I was playing guitar but have since added bass guitar. I play in a rock band and also for my church Hope Lutheran in front of hundreds […]

I’ve taken lessons from Craig for a few years and would highly recommend Craig to anyone that wants to learn guitar from scratch or wants to improve on existing skills. Craig is an excellent musician and a dedicated instructor. He is thoroughly engaged in the teaching process and provides his students with audio and video […]

If there were more than five stars, I would give them. It took a lot of courage for me to attempt to learn the ukulele later in life. I have never played an instrument. Craig has the perfect balance of encouragement and support that keeps me going. He is so talented himself and his enthusiasm […]

I’ve been taking lessons with Craig for about 10 months now. Before my lessons, I didn’t even know a single chord.

Craig’s talent is his ablity to teach to your individual level & genre interest. He is well versed in a wide range of styles, and the videos made for your specific lessons are invaluable, allowing you to go back & review ad infinitum.

Craig is very knowledgeable, professional, courteous and can play AND TEACH a wide range of styles and genres. He’s excellent at giving me things to use for my next show. He explains how to think about the neck and breaks it down so you understand. He also gives you short videos to work on for […]

In the span of two years Craig’s instruction has taken me from beginner to playing through some of my favorite songs. I have access to a multitude of study materials, videos, background tracks, and Craig — he’s virtually always accessible. Craig’s full time job is teaching and making music. If I’m stuck trying to figure […]

I’ve taken lessons from Craig for about 9 months. Lessons are very relaxed and Craig covers everything from technique to theory in about every style. He has focused me on the areas that I struggled for years on. I’m practicing songs I never imagined I’d feel prepared to play.
