"I have been taking guitar lessons for more than 4 years with NYC Guitar School EAST. The experience has been excellent. Scheduling is easy and they always try to accommodate you with the best schedule for your needs. The staff is very friendly, responsive, and truly care about the students. My current teacher Sam is always positive and patient. He encourages you when you feel like you hit a roadblock in your playing and has an effective approach to developing your skills. Sam also makes sure classes are enjoyable and inspiring. From sharing his professional experiences in music to finding the right songs to teach, Sam always keeps you engaged and learning. I have noticed huge progress in my playing and thanks to NYC Guitar School EAST, I am taking the next steps in advancing my guitar skills."

"I love NYC Guitar School East! My son and my husband are having lessons with Eddy. Both are super enthusiastic about their lessons. Eddy is at the same time patient and encouraging while maintaining a structured lesson and ensuring practice! My son likes it so much, he joined the Rock Band lessons with Subrina - the Rock Star!! The recitals are at the end of the semester - super mellow atmosphere for the kids. The school also has the amazing support of Madeline! She is always knowledgeable, eager and helpful with any guitar questions."

"My daughter has been taking classes at NYC Guitar School for over 3 years. In that time she’s really developed a love for guitar playing. She started out taking group lessons and now takes private lessons with Greg. She loves working with him to hone her rock n roll skills. She also takes lessons with James when she needs some extra practice for her middle school Jazz Band. It’s such a warm and welcoming community!"

"My child has been taking guitar lessons for more than a year now with James at the NYC Guitar School. James has always maintained a very positive and encouraging outlook, and constantly looks to find ways to keep my child interested in and excited about playing guitar. He works with my child to identify musical pieces that he is interested in learning and playing, and has also helped to introduce and broaden my child's experience and knowledge of other genres of music. I also think the NYC Guitar School is well run and managed. Madeleine and the rest of the staff are welcoming and friendly and always very responsive if anything comes up. I think that the staff really care about the students learning to play the guitar, and that is one of things that I have found that separates NYC Guitar School from the others."

"This NYC Guitar school location is awesome! The space is colorful, inviting and the people are extremely friendly and helpful. I highly recommend taking lessons here. I've had my guitar for over a year now and finally took the plunge to take lessons this summer and I've gotten exponentially better since taking group classes. The group class environment is encouraging and more inviting for a beginner class. Definitely would recommend to anyone who has trouble practicing on their own and wants to learn the fundamentals of playing guitar."
