Graham Case - Guitar Coaching

Graham has been a wonderful teacher and helped prepare me for playing in college. He is well versed in many genres and is extremely knowledgeable.

Graham is a great guitar instructor who is incredibly patient and knowledgeable in his field. I have been taking lessons from him for a couple months now and I’ve learned a ton. His lessons are easy to follow and he is extremely accommodating to busy schedules. I started taking lessons with very little music theory knowledge and after only a few months I feel very comfortable discussing not only the basics of music theory but also some more advanced topics. I highly recommend Graham if you are looking for music lessons for yourself or for a loved one.

Studying guitar with Graham Case has been an engaging experience. As an adult learner I returned to formal lessons after reaching a plateau with my skill set. I was limited by deficits in music theory and understanding how to improvise with the instrument. I was uncertain as to how to continue to grow as a musician. Graham helped me make tremendous progress. He is observant, patient and is great at balancing the interests of the student with suggesting the best exercises, songs that align with the needs of the learner. He is a great communicator. He follows up and makes himself available between lessons to provide sheet music, answer questions and offer suggestions. I highly recommend working with Graham. If you are a beginner, intermediate or advanced guitarist he has much to offer as a teacher.

I've been taking lessons from Graham for a little over half a year now, and it's been nothing short of an incredible time. We primarily focus on Jazz and musical theory, but everything I learn is applicable to all genres. At our very first lesson, Graham took the time to listen to my goals, help me refine them, and most importantly help me practice them effectively. What really separates Graham from the other teachers, though, is that he won't let you do anything less than your best. When I got distracted or discouraged with my progress, Graham made sure to show me how much progress I've actually made, and kept me on track to getting better. I went in knowing absolutely nothing about improvisation, and now I'm forming musical phrases with intention and not by random chance. I really look forward to seeing how far I can grow my skills under Graham's instruction.

My son went to Graham for over 3 yrs and loved it. He became a very good guitarist and credits Graham for really teaching him the basics and then learning and expanding on those skills. My son is now 21 and still plays every day. I'm so glad we found Graham and he gave my son such a love for music. It's awesome to hear him play almost nightly in his room !
