    "I took Tim's beginner guitar class in the winter/spring and I couldn't have been happier. The price of the class is ridiculously low for the instruction and materials that Tim provides. I had a guitar for about 5 years and never touched it until I saw his classes offered for such a great price. Tim pushed us and got us playing immediately. He is passionate about what he does and it takes the time to help you learn guitar. He is always willing to listen and answer questions and will provide some great resources to help you on you quest to play guitar. If you want to learn and will put in the work, Tim will get you playing. I was hesitant to take the class at first, but now looking back I can't believe I waited so long. Awesome teacher....well worth the investment. Thanks, Tim! "

    "My 14 yr old daughter has been taking lessons for about 7 months now and she really enjoys having Tim as a teacher. She started out with the intro group package this past Jan and then wanted to continue.
    I think that is the best way to begin, it's a small group
    and Tim starts with the basics and there is no pressure on the students. So she went from learning "hot cross Buns" to Bon Jovi's "It's my life" and now working on Foo Fighters "One of these days", working with a capo and learning about harmonics "

    "My son has been taking guitar lessons with Tim Maynard for almost a year now. Tim is a very patient and encouraging teacher. He engages my son by giving him interesting songs to learn and keeps the lines of communication open with me regarding his progress. Tim works with him on theory but makes learning it fun by using songs that are appealing to him. We are very happy with the lessons and highly recommend Tim to any student interested in learning guitar. Tim is a true professional!"

    " My son has been taking lessons from Tim for several months now and he continues to be inspired and enthusiastic. I credit Tim for being so passionate about what he does...he is patient and encouraging. I think its easy for young students to just want to jump into learning their favorite songs and jump over all the theory, and Tim seems to know just how to get a student motivated to really want to learn more. Additionally, as a parent I appreciate Tim's punctuality and communication skills. He is a nice, friendly gentleman and a true professional. I highly recommend this studio."

    "Tim Maynard is an extraordinary teacher. He has motivated and inspired me. I now play my guitar every day and do not feel complete unless I do. With Tim's instruction I can now play with virtually any guitarist and not embarass myself.
    I will always be indebted for the gift he has given me."
