Ursel D.
Guitar Lessons
We highly recommend Lessons With You. Our eight-year-old son started online learning to play the guitar with his instructor, Jeff Frantom, in August. Jeff is a fabulous teacher and has great teaching techniques for children. He is patient and positive, and that has really kept my son very engaged and excited about his lessons with Jeff. He encourages our son and goes out of his way to find music that is relatable and interesting and helps him grow as a beginner guitar player.
