    Review of Classical Guitar Lesson, November 12, 2008

    I've been taking lessons from Scott for a couple of years now and I would recommend him to any serious student of the guitar. His technical approach to right hand technique is his own refinement of the Shearer approach, based on years of research and observation. It has helped me immensely.
    Scott has also brought out the musician in me. His coaching in understanding the piece, analysing its structure, internalizing the phrasing, memorizing it and performing it without fear has transformed my musical life from awkward anxiety to a pleasurable pursuit.

    Review of Scott Kritzer, December 05, 2008

    I knew the first lesson that I was hooked for life. Scott sets the bar high and then pushes you to reach it. If you are tired of going to lessons just to learn a new song of the week, then try this studio on for size! The approach to learning is very systematic and the synergy within the studio is nothing short of amazing. Everything you could want or need for classical guitar growth is found in the Kritzer studio.

    Oh yeah and if you wanna hear some of the best classcial guitar music every, just listen to his new CD. It is awesome!
