Quotes from students and acquaintances 

"Kerry is my favorite guitar teacher! I let him know what song I want to play. He knows what I can and can't do. He'll spend a few minutes figuring it out, then show me, and next thing I know, we're playing it in a way that's perfect for me. Fun! He's super talented, friendly, and reliable to boot."​​

"My husband and I had never picked up a guitar before and play no other instruments. So as tentative beginners, we really lucked out when we found Kerry. Kerry is patient and encouraging. He demystified the process of making music and brought it within reach for my husband and I, which I had truly thought may not be possible. Within a couple visits he had us playing some of our most favorite songs.  Since we are much older than Kerry, we would always seem to ask him to teach us songs he had never heard before! But what we found so amazing about Kerry was his ability to listen to a song and start playing along, even before the song was over! One more time through the song and he was ready to break it down and teach it to us, with modifications to simplify it if necessary.  Kerry taught us by example (showing us where our fingers go), and with tabs. We did not use standard sheet music. This method was perfect for us...
Kerry is a very talented musician. He writes music, has a great singing voice, and his guitar playing is beautiful and inspiring. I know Kerry is an excellent instructor for beginners and I am also confident that he would be an excellent instructor for experienced players."
