Of course, you'd expect that we would only post those comments
that show our best, but honestly, we've never received a negative
comment!  The only reasons anyone has ever left lessons were
because they moved, changed job schedule, got sick, furnace
blew, wife went on bedrest...big things!  Our students LOVE us.

  • As I said, I definitely prefer your approach.  I think that if I had started
    with (competitor), I would have dropped out and not gone any further
    with it -- which would have been too bad.  One of the big benefits of
    your approach is that the classes play together a LOT -- and also
    Robyn fosters a lovely sense of community that makes the learning
    process more fun. - Amy

  • What I like about Robyn’s class is that she has a very practical
    approach based on her own experience. It’s great to hear that she
    struggled with X, Y or Z and that she overcame it, and how.  - Noah

  • Hey, just thought I'd tell you that I really enjoyed last night's lesson.
    It's cool being able to finally see and understand some chord
    relationships. I never thought I would be able play some of the things
    I can this quickly. - Brad

  • I have and will continue to talk up Forte Music Education...I believe in
    what you do and how you do it! Keep up the incredible work. - Gary

  • It gets my head in a different place, gives me a break from life and
    challenges me in a positive way.  All those are good and I really
    enjoy classes even though I get frustrated with my fingers
    sometimes. - Matt

  • I can't believe that a year ago I didn't even own a guitar and today I
    can play songs! - Kerry

  • I was one of those people who had a secret regret for never learning
    an instrument. So awesome to discover it's really not too late and
    that there are others in the same boat. We laugh a lot in class and
    Melissa is patient without being condescending. - Jennifer

  • The videos for advanced guitar are great! They are a very helpful
    review of the lessons. Thank you for making them! -Kerry

  • I have enjoyed the lessons with you and Bill and feel that a door has
    been opened to a new level of play. I promise to keep practicing! -
    John

  • I have loved what I have learned so far in these lessons, and I think
    that the teaching method is extremely effective. I am amazed at my
    progress already and I have not even been able to practice as much
    as I would like to!  - Annabelle

  • I carried my guitar from place to place and tried to teach myself many
    times.  Friends showed me tricks, but I never knew what I was
    doing.  I finally made the commitment to learn, and it was way easier
    than I thought it would be.  I still have trouble with some chords, but
    at least I know what I'm doing now, not just half a song here and
    there. - Nicole

  • I'm happy to forget about becoming a rock star and just learn to play
    fun songs with my family and friends.  That's what it's about for me.  
    Melissa made it fun to just want to be "good enough."  - Derek

  • Robyn is awesome.  Not sure I'd want to take lessons from anyone
    else!  Please keep me on your list for the Intermediate class in
    Stapleton after the first of the year. - Randy

  • I tried to teach myself.  Every lesson is so organized and easy to
    follow, I'm finally playing actual songs.  This program is really
    thought out for busy people. - Chris

  • I love playing guitar and I have you and Robyn to thank for it! - Amy

  • Melissa has thought of everything.  I've never met a better teacher.  -
    Jay

  • I'll be honest.  I don't practice as much as I should, but somehow I
    always make it to lessons and have such a good time.  I never
    thought I'd get this far. - Roy

  • My first guitar teacher, all he could do was show off how good he
    was.  Made it feel like I'd never be able to play!  I almost just put it out
    of my mind, but my friend recommended I try these lessons, and
    what a difference.  It pays to find the right teacher. - Barb

  • I can't tell you enough how much I enjoyed your class and teaching
    style. I never thought I would be able to feel comfortable with the
    guitar. I've been looking online at new songs to play from my favorite
    artists and it feels so good! My husband is amazed. -Gretchen

  • Robyn was fantastic...really seemed to understand what it was like
    to be a beginner. Her special goodies made it feel homey and more
    personal....as did the encouraging emails. - Feb 2011 Beginner
    graduate via anonymous survey

  • Robyn was awesome! Very friendly, helpful and encouraging. She
    was prepared and approachable, infinitely friendly and
    knowledgeable. - Feb 2011 Beginner graduate via anonymous
    survey

  • Melissa is the best teacher. She kept a perfect pace, I was always
    challenged but having fun. - Jennifer

  • Only complaint: lessons are too short! - Terry, Advanced Guitar
    Student
