New York City Guitar School

Over the past year, Josh has taken me on a wild musical journey. I went from barely knowing how to strum a ukulele—which he taught me for a movie I starred in—to now confidently playing the guitar. And trust me, this was no small feat! Josh somehow managed to turn my clumsy fumbling on the strings into actual music. I mean, who knew I had rhythm? (Spoiler: not me.)Josh is patient, encouraging, and has just the right amount of humor to keep things fun. He has an incredible way of breaking things down so even someone like me—who once called the frets “the bumpy bits”—can understand. If you’re looking for a guitar teacher who will teach you, inspire you, and make you laugh at your own musical mishaps, I can’t recommend Josh highly enough. He’s the best!

Been going to NYCGuitarSchool for coming up on 3 years. If you want to learn music this is the community to go to!In all that time my longest running teacher is the amazing Gaby! I’ve been taking vocal classes with her for 2 years and learning a lot. She has helped me to have confidence in my voice and has supported my efforts to write several pieces of original music. No one is a bigger supporter and hype person for their students than Gaby!!-Kris J

NYCGS was a great way for me to learn the skills to play and transition between chords as a complete beginner to guitar. The teachers I had from level 1 to 4 of the absolute beginners program were knowledgeable and engaging throughout. I enjoyed how classes were split into technique and playing alongside music sections and can confidently say I’ve progressed much quicker than I would have on my own.

My daughter, age 15, has been attending NYC Guitar School Summer Camp for three years and my son has been going for two years doing both summer camp and year-round sessions.NYC Guitar School is an extraordinary place. It's not just that the music program is excellent, it is the culture that makes it so awesome. The self-confidence the kids get from this school is tremendous. I wish I could post before and after videos of my kids performing, I attached some before and after pics instead. In the beginning, they were a bit timid and nervous getting up and playing and now when they perform they get on that stage act as if they own it. My son on stage after his first performance threw his arms in the air and screamed: "I am so proud of myself!" Now he has some swagger when he gets up there to perform. It sounds super corny, but the campers and counselors become family. And the kids are so supportive of the other kids. Friday night I watched some advanced students cheer on a group of teens who were new to playing and to the school.
