Taking lessons with Joe is an absolute delight. Unlike most children, I didn't play any instrument during my childhood apart from the regular music class. However, at the age of 41, I decided to indulge in my love for music and began playing the cello this year. Initially, I took in-person lessons at a nearby music academy, but I soon got bored and disheartened. The rental cost of the cello and the lessons seemed like an expensive mistake. Luckily, a friend recommended I try a different teacher. That's how I came across CrackerJack and reached out to Joe, who responded promptly. Wanting to see whose teaching methods suited me the best, I tried out a few teachers before choosing Joe. Without a doubt, Joe was the perfect fit for me. He is incredibly supportive, points out my mistakes, and gives specific feedback to work on before the next lesson. I thoroughly enjoy learning and practicing the cello now, and choosing Joe as my teacher has been a great decision.

About a month ago, I began taking cello lessons with Joe through remote means. I have found Joe to be an exceptional instructor who demonstrates a high level of patience towards a novice such as myself. His main emphasis on developing strong fundamentals is a standout feature that is crucial and will undoubtedly yield benefits as I advance in my cello studies. I highly endorse him!

As an adult beginner embarking on my cello journey, I have been fortunate enough to come across a highly skilled cellist who is also an exceptional instructor. Joe's expertise in teaching intricate techniques is particularly impressive, as he has an uncanny ability to break them down in a manner that is easily comprehensible to novices like myself. With his innate professionalism and engaging teaching style, Joe manages to make learning enjoyable and stimulating. For anyone keen on exploring new musical horizons, I highly recommend Joe as a tutor. His lessons are both educational and enjoyable, making him an excellent option for anyone seeking to take up the cello.
