"I took lessons from Craig for several years starting in 1999. Craig laid the foundation for my lifelong love of music and guitar. Now, over 20 years later, I have been afforded many opportunities to play and teach professionally, and I have Craig to thank for it!"

"As an adult beginner, I appreciate Craig's ability to adapt to my stuye of learning. He is patient and listens to my questions and has succinct answers and strategies. I've had 3 lessons so far and am very much enjoying them."

"Craig is both a highly skilled musician and a masterful teacher. My child started lessons with Craig almost a year ago when he was five and his progress has been stunning. His lessons with Craig are undoubtedly one of the highlights of his week. Craig's ability to inspire young musicians is a rare gift and his school is a local treasure."

"Great instructor, one of the best music instructors for children you'll find anywhere. His school is highly recommended by several notable people in the classical guitar field. Frank Longay, who helped set up Suzuki for Classical Guitar, called his program one of the top three in the country. Craig hosted many top classical guitar players to provide top tier master classes to his students including Roland Dyens who was very impressed by Devine School. Craig's school has won dozens of gold medals in ensemble categories. My daughter took lessons with him starting at 5 and he was able teach the instrument (and the theory) in a very natural way that kept her very engaged, even at that age. The best of the best teacher for guitar. He taught her to be a musician not just by the way she struck the notes but also by her confidence playing with others, and her overall sense of the beauty in music. His love and dedication to music goes far beyond 99% of other instructors. You'll know what I mean if you meet him."
