TESTIMONIALS FROM STUDENTS AND PARENTS:
"I have had the pleasure of studying the acoustic guitar under Bob Crow's patient and experienced eye for over five years, and I can honestly say that he has had more influence in shaping my sound as a guitar player than any other teacher or mentor in my 20+ years of playing the six-string. Bob is a master musician and a devoted teacher, and an aspiring guitar player will be hard pressed to find a better mentor than Bob Crow. I give him my highest recommendation as a teacher and as a great person to work with."
-David S.
"Bob is outstanding. He is a super skilled teacher with an extraordinary knowledge of the guitar and music in general. Any student would be well served under his instruction."
-Timothy D.
"Bob has been teaching guitar to my son for over ten years. I had no idea my eighteen year old son would stick with it through all of these years. Bob's calm and sweet manner, played a huge part of what encouraged my son to grow with his instrument and find an enormous amount of joy playing music, be it strumming chords or finger picking. Bob is a talented teacher and a fine guitarist too."
-Christie W.
"Bob Crow is a great guitar teacher! He's patient, creative, and always positive. He also has a great sense of humor and he makes it fun. I've really enjoyed taking lessons from him the last few years."
-Kevin M.
"I would totally recommend Bob to anyone would wants to learn how to play the guitar and have fun along the way. I've been taking lessons now for a couple of years and always appreciated that he was able to accommodate all songs I wished to learn, and come up with a version that matched my skill set at that point."
-Tobias M.
"As an adult student of Bob I appreciate his encouraging and patient approach to learning guitar. His guidance, astute suggestions and creativity clearly reflect his own talent and experience."
-Patty B.
"It's really a testament to Bob Crow's ability as a mentor that he consistently has work to further the challenge of making music and understanding how it's written. I'm typically quite reluctant towards scheduled lessons and learning new things in general but Bob is, simply put, an exceptional teacher. I feel that after 4 years in, well into my preteen years, Bob had unabashedly opened doors to (for lack of a better term) a musical idealism. Suddenly sound mattered more, and guitar mattered more. After visiting him once a week for over 10 years I have a large portion of my love of music to thank Bob for, as well as building self esteem by learning how to master an instrument of this kind, something I was truly lacking until then."
