"George is an incredibly engaged, fun, knowledgable, and skilled teacher. He is able to impart his extensive experience as a guitarist, performer, and writer and offers his students a wide array of musical techniques and wisdom. Rather than enforcing one prescribed teaching method or curriculum, George was more interested in my personal creative and professional goals and tailored his teaching approach to help me reach them. He is an amazing mentor and musician and an absolute blast to work with."

"George Woods is the best music teachers I’ve ever had. His vast knowledge of theory and composition expands my harmonic tools and his mentorship helped me develop my own unique, creative voice. Expertise in theory, lyric writing, and arrangement are just some of many valuable skills that George has built for himself and he gives that knowledge to his students generously and with a passion that is infectious. He pushes me to be my best."

"I signed up for songwriting and guitar lessons from George and I’ve learned more from him in 3 months than I had in 10 years of playing on my own. His style of teaching is loose and based on drawing out your own preferences and abilities. He’s also very flexible with scheduling which is great for me as someone with a hectic week. Couldn’t recommend higher."
