My 8-year-old son has been taking guitar lessons with Jenn for the past few months, and we’ve had a wonderful experience. She’s incredibly patient and does a great job mixing up each lesson to keep him engaged and focused. He’s learning quickly, and I especially appreciate how Jenn adapts his favorite songs to match his skill level. It’s been great to see his confidence and enthusiasm for guitar grow!
I have learned so much from Jenn Cleary about best practices for releasing my music. Meeting with her via video chat has helped me to prioritize, stay on track and to get questions answered about up-to-date ways to navigate the social media world. She has helped me with web site content and what to focus on when planning an album. I am forever grateful to Jenn for her expertise and the way she delivers the information. Jenn Cleary has a wealth of information to share!
It has been so much fun learning guitar from Jenn. As a beginner, I cannot believe that I am actually able to play some of my favorite songs now. Jenn has also encouraged me to find my own voice. can’t recommend Jenn enough. She is a patient, insightful, experienced and skilled teacher that makes every lesson fun!
Both of my boys are taking guitar lessons with Jenn. Before my kids took guitar lessons with Jenn, they were uninspired. Now, they each have a growing list of songs they are improving noticeably on, and their motivation to play and learn is inspired by Jenn’s easy teaching style and warm encouragement. She has a way with kids and instruments that is inspiring and effective.
I had the great fortune of getting just three lessons from Jenn (moving out of state). In that short time, Jenn helped me identify my goals and then she worked with me to close my eyes and play my songs. That one tip was transformational! At first it was so hard… now I see that it is the key to me becoming one with my guitar. Thanks Jenn!
