KINGWOOD ARTS ACADEMY

"I’ve been a student of Josan’s for almost four years now and I can say with confidence, that I wouldn’t be anywhere near where I am now as a musician if I hadn’t started lessons.
​
Arguably one of the most important commitments I’ve made as an aspiring artist, Josan not only identifies the root of your aspirations as a progressing musician but fosters a sense of encouragement and personal growth. What we’ve worked on together has not only influenced my playing in a major way but I’ve found that it has affected my perspective as well. Ultimately, we all are striving to be better and what I’ve learned extends far beyond the guitar but towards life in general.
 
Teaching is a craft, I’ve had 3 to four instructors over my life as a guitarist and it’s honestly difficult to find a teacher who truly knows how to ​teach.​ When I find a good teacher (considering how difficult they are to come by) I stick with them. Playing guitar is a constant learning experience. From amateur to advanced, to professional and beyond, there is never a time where you will be short on material. The most helpful thing for me has been being under the guidance of a teacher, one that genuinely cares.
​
Finding a teacher you want to stick with is challenging, there is always the fear of compatibility or fear of stagnation but with Josan all those concerns are put to bed. Josan is as qualified as they come but no amount of qualifications will make up for a bad teacher, no matter the subject. Teaching is as much about knowing what ​not​ to do and with Josan you’ll have the best of both worlds– a professional musician and most importantly, a professional teacher.
​
Nothing will replace one on one lessons. Not online programs (which I’ve tried) and certainly not on your own without proper direction. Josan provides the freedom to work and accomplish your goals and approaches guitar instruction in a methodical fashion that guarantees results."
