What he offers his students is very unique--a chance to really build your voice from scratch, understand and utilize proper technique, and go beyond what you think you're capable of doing. He's a highly experienced coach who will champion your progress and will encourage you to go far.

Back when I lived in Philadelphia, I started lessons with John. Every other review (they're all…read more5-stars) is right on point. John's method is comprehensive and he explains what the process is every step of the way. It definitely seemed a bit unusual to me at first, because I hadn't heard singers do exercises like his before, but the results were undeniable. The improvement was noticeable right away, but the results only got better with time. It's worth it to stick with it for a long time to get the most out of it. His "voice-building" technique really works on a fundamental level, completely building great technique from the ground up. My projection, dynamics, pitch, breathing, sustain, and overall technique had a dramatic transformation for the better. I also didn't realize just how much it was possible to increase vocal range, but John's method will dramatically increase range. I can now consistently hit notes that I didn't think I was capable of before. I really can't imagine that you'd get these kinds of results from just any old vocal instructor. I did lessons for two years and consistently improved. The only reason I stopped doing lessons with him was because I moved away, otherwise I'd likely have continued for quite awhile. Highly recommended.

After half a lifetime of being a beginner-level guitar player, I decided to take lessons with Ron…read more In our first lesson, he fixed a few of my bad habits and gave me some exercises to build strength and agility in my fretting hand. Further down the road, he taught me enough introductory music theory to write my first song. Now, as a former beginner I can say: if you put in the effort, taking lessons with Ron will level up your guitar playing immensely. He's a natural teacher with a breadth of knowledge that allows him to tailor lessons according to your musical goals and interests.

His lessons on music theory have changed the way I play and view the fretboard, and the way his lessons have been structured makes the learning process feel very natural. Parallel to practicing and learning music theory, he's thrown me right into the fire of playing some really technical fingerstyle songs. It's frustrating, but it has allowed me to realize where my strengths and weaknesses lie, and he works with me tirelessly to ensure I understand the technique. On top of all that, he's a down to earth guy who's always got a joke to crack, and he's got great musical interests and has introduced me to some artists that I probably wouldn't have otherwise listened to (Doc Watson, Joe Pass, The Strawbs, etc). The hour long lesson really flies by and I feel that he's a great teacher and artist who's able to convey his knowledge in a way that's easily digestible. If you're looking to learn or improve your guitar playing, Ron is the guy in Philly that I would highly recommend.

The reason I go to JB other than the 3…read moreincredible pre-owned Gibson, Guild and Godin Classical guitars i've purchased from him over the last decade - is that there is a trust with him that I appreciate as a customer. While JB mostly sells vintage acoustic guitars - you need to trust that what he sells will be issue free. Tonight I had one small issue with a recent purchased higher end acoustic guitar. JB immediately didn't try to play a blame game - he said "Let me look at it and I will fix it and make it right or return your money". That's the trust I talk about when I say JB sells not only the best vintage acoustics in the area - but he is a standup guy.
