    Benny not only repaired the woodwork, but he also installed a custom pick guard to prevent any further damage.

    I've been taking lessons with Damon for a little while now and it has been a great experience. His…read moreteaching style does not seem to revolve around a routine or lesson plan, but each lesson adds just the right new element to help me progress to another level I did not think I'd be able to understand or do. As new elements or techniques are added, he focuses on ways to learn them without being overwhelmed and to make it manageable. If I need to miss a lesson for any reason, Damon offers the chance to switch to an upload lesson, where I am able to make a video of what I am working on, and he responds with a video. These video responses are gems where he might go deeper into how I can work to improve my technique or understanding of the thing I am working on. Overall, I highly recommend Damon and Axes of E'ville.

I've been taking lessons with Damon for a year and half, and it's had a huge impact on my playing. I've gone from fumbling through tabs in my living room to feeling totally comfortable playing in a band, and he's tailored our lessons to fit my abilities and interests. Beyond the music, Damon has also taught me a ton about guitars, pedals, and amps, and is an incredible font of knowledge in the quest for tone. He helped me select and test drive my new amp, and even taught me how to work on my guitar - including meeting in-person to teach me how to replace pickups, install copper shielding, and generally spiff up my guitar. Can't recommend lessons with Damon highly enough!

    I just can't say enough positive things about Ozzy and his Music Academy. I am so grateful that my…read morechildren landed in such a welcoming and supportive container for them to explore and get comfortable with music and many different instruments. Ozzy is a true visionary in his way of teaching and somehow leads the kids to see the inner rock star inside of them, fearless and powerful. It has been a joy to see my kids perform and with Ozzy's guidance my daughter now writes songs and has even performed at Alameda's Got Talent! Her confidence is soaring~what a gift! I would say to any parent in the Alameda or Bay Area, treat your child to the best music school in the Bay, your child will learn a lot more than music, they will learn inner confidence, breathing techniques and gratitude. Thank you Ozzy and staff!

    Jeff is a fantastic guitar instructor…read more I have been taking lessons with Jeff for 6 years. I played guitar for many years and then stopped playing for a long time and began to miss it. Jeff has helped me find my love of playing again. Jeff's lessons are tailored to his students and what you want to learn. If you want to learn music theory Jeff will focus the lessons on that. If you'd like to learn how to play songs, you can do that. When I first started taking lessons I told him I only wanted to play rhythm guitar not lead because I wasn't good at it. The more we played together, the more I started to gain confidence through our work together. Now I am learning both rhythm and lead and having a great time playing both. Also, through the songs I'm learning I'm learning theory as well. Jeff has pushed me out of my comfort zone, in the best way. I am learning and playing things I never thought I could. His confidence in me has caused me to believe I can be a good lead player as well. He is very patient and will take doesn't mind going over things more than once. He makes sure you understand the correct technique in addition to the music on the page. Jeff understands busy lives. I work full-time and often find getting enough practice time challenging. He understands and works with my progress level. I can say my playing has improved from taking lessons with Jeff. I would highly recommend him to anyone, at any level, wanting to learn to play guitar.

    I've been taking lessons from Jeff for about...5 or 6 years now. I was a total start from scratch…read morebeginner on the guitar, and Jeff is the most incredible teacher. I would rate myself today as an average-ish skilled guitar player, only because I don't practice NEARLY as much as a good and prudent student would. I play purely for hobby. I'm sure if I applied myself on that level, I would be HELLA good.... because that is how phenomenal a teacher Jeff is. He will individualize your lesson to be whatever you are seeking to experience on your guitar journey. My absolute favorite thing is asking him to teach me any random song of my choice and then proceed to watch him re-compose it in tabs or sheet music...by ear. In less than an hour. To witness his process is like watching live musical genius at work. It's so cool and fun. He is more than qualified to teach and has an impressive music education. His grasp on the classical, technical, structural aspects of music theory boggles my mind. Literally. His actual skill is quite remarkable as well. He gigs in a band, he composes his own music, his vibe is progressive east bay ARTISTÉ, funny and sarcastic as hell, patient, cool as shit and a good human being. I've seen him play live a few times, and he is entertaining to watch and always kills on the guitar. He really should be famous...and he would humbly disagree... But he's an underrated musician and I would definitely watch for this dude. If you need a guitar teacher, beginner or seeking to hone existing skills, take a chance on Jeff. You wont regret it.
