Testimonial from student:
"Robert has been my guitar teacher for several years
now. I first met him when my oldest son wanted to take bass
lessons. After a little while I decided I wanted to improve my
guitar playing and discussed my goals with Robert. He started
teaching me from the Berklee series of books and with some
dedication and practice, I found myself reading music. I gained
the confidence to begin playing in a praise worship band for the
children's service at church and even played solo acoustic
guitar for our hispanic worship service. Over time, my musical
goals have changed and I'm now focused on jazz. Robert has
proven himself to be knowledgeable, flexible, reliable, and
patient. He's a great musician too! I would and have
recommended him to people I know." -Dean, parent and adult

Testimonial from parent:
My son Max took guitar lessons from Mr. Bussey for 1 year
and 8 months. In that time Max took on a confidence that I had
not seem while taking lessons from a previous studio. Mr.
Bussey made my son feel like he could be the greatest guitar
player ever. When he left Mr. Bussey’s after lessons he was
always smiling and couldn’t wait to get home to play more. I
feel Mr. Bussey is a man with great integrity and patience and
works well with anyone. If you hire Mr. Bussey your company
will definitely be blessed to have him. He’s an asset and his
behavior leads me to believe he’s a Christian which means a lot
to me. I just can’t stress enough what a wonderful person I
think he is. The way the world is today, we can use more Mr.
Bussey’s!" - Lisa, parent |
