What Our Guitar Students Are Saying
“I can’t say enough great things about Jeff Hartman and Hickory Arts. My wife purchased a few introductory guitar lessons as a Christmas gift, and now three years later, I’m still going strong with weekly lessons! Plus, they encourage all of their students to present house concerts for the public to attend and to give the students the experience of creating a set list, potentially working with other performers, and performing live for a paying crowd. I’ve done two of those, and they are among the most rewarding experiences of my life. No kidding. Jeff lets me go at my own pace but also keeps me focused on my long-term goals for improving my style, technique, and set list. I’m comfortable now playing at open mics, around the campfire, and for sing-alongs during the holidays. If you’ve thought about starting or picking back up with an instrument or with vocal training, I hope you give them a call!”
