ReviewsMy son Joseph just completed his 5th lesson with Gio and he LOVES his piano classes. Gio is very patient and dedicated to Joseph. Glad that my son is taking lessons from him. Julianne C. (Piano)
My son has learned a lot with Gio so far. He is very patient, professional and wonderful working with my son who is now 8 years old. I look forward to many more lessons. Nancy E. (Guitar)
Gio is priceless! [He] has been working with our 3 year old teaching him the mandolin for 6 months... We find his commitment, expertise & personality impeccable. I would advise you to take lessons from no other. He is a star! Cynthia X. (Mandolin & Ukulele)
Gio is great. He knows his stuff and makes the lessons fun while teaching. Rich P. (Harmonica)
Gio has been wonderfully patient with my efforts as a total beginner. His instructions are clear and helpful, and he has provided a good mix of motivation and encouragement. Highly recommended! Charles W. (Clarinet)
Gio is a great teacher I would definitely recommend. He does a great job of relating to my daughter and thinking out of the box to encourage her learning the guitar. Kristina T. (Guitar)
Gio truly focuses on the student's needs. I've met too many self-absorbed musicians in the past, but Gio really pays attention to details in the student's playing. He is excellent at teaching technique and was the first guitar teacher to help me fix physical problems regarding posture and arm tension. His kind, easy-going manner makes a student comfortable. He has a wealth of musical knowledge to share. Mary V. (Guitar)
