My son, Sean, has been taking lessons from Craig since he was 10 years old. By the time he was in 6th grade he was playing guitar at our church, Lutheran Church of Hope in West Des Moines, for our confirmation classes (which includes hundreds of kids). In 7th grade, Sean auditioned for the worship […]
Just wanted to let you know how much we appreciate and respect you. You have set an extremely high standard for Jake’s future guitar teachers and we compare them all to you. We are on to teacher #2 here in Austin, so we will see how he compares. Anyway, I wanted to reach out and […]
My son has been taking lessons from Craig for over three years. It has been an outstanding experience for us. Craig has an exceptional range of teaching capabilities, from beginning to understand music to advanced theory. I would recommend Craig to someone who has never touched a guitar and to someone who already plays and […]
I would, without a doubt, recommend Craig Sinclair if you are searching for a guitar instructor in the Des Moines metro area. As a PhD in the field of education, I can honestly say Craig does all the things that outstanding teachers do. He works to understand exactly where his students are at and develops […]
I started taking lessons from Craig as a beginner from zero. His approach and methods made a lot of sense to me. He also gives you review and practice material until your next lesson and goes above and beyond to help with any needs. Not to mention he’s an all around great guy!
Craig has been professional in scheduling times. He has a nice studio with tools to help you learn. Most importantly, I have learned much about music and how the guitar adds to music rather than the other way around. Craig’s passion for music is evident in our lessons.
Guitar lessons with Craig are so great. Now only do you leave with so much more knowledge you go in excited and ready to go. He makes playing fun while making it very very productive. Earlier this year I started to build a 76′ Gibson Explorer re-issue and the day I told craig about it […]
I enjoy and look forward to my lessons with Craig. I started last spring with minimal guitar experience and Craig has worked with me to to develop good techniques to make the progression easier. Craig listens to what I want to get out of my lessons and tailors the lessons to my musical taste.
Best guitar instructor in Des Moines!. I had tried taking lessons at other local guitar shops and was just completely stalled out. Craig rebuilt me from the ground up, from technique to theory. He has great patience with his students and really uses technology to enhance the lesson. Highly Recommended!
I’ve been taking lessons from Craig for almost 4 years now. He is extremely knowledgeable and has proven teaching techniques. He is always flexible and utilizes lesson time to the fullest. Craig will tailor lessons to each students interest. He will cover everything from music theory to soloing to rhythm in any music genre you’re […]
