4/4 School of Music

My daughter started guitar two years ago at age 7 with Curtis at the Renton location. Curtis is an amazing teacher for kids and adults. He is unfailingly patient, always in a good mood, and always has a lot of energy and an infectious personality that really engages kids in learning. He is equally versed in classical and rock styles. (She's learned pieces ranging from Bach and Satie to Zeppelin and Oasis.) He is also clearly fluent in pedagogical techniques. If my daughter's not getting something, he comes up with different ways of teaching it until she gets it. He always comes very prepared - if my daughter mentions a song she wants to learn, he has it the next week for her. If she is struggling with a skill, he has something the next week for her to address it. He is always on the ball. He must have like 80 students or something, but he always remembers every detail of her progress. On another note, the admin staff is very responsive and helpful!
