"My 7-year old grandson had a trial lesson with DJ and here is our experience: 1. He arrived 5-minutes before the start of the lesson 2. He began teaching him how to read music almost immediately 3. Throughout the lesson he provided praise and correction was done gently 4. He also asked questions of my grandson intended to engage him and get to know him better 5. At the end of the lesson, he provided the adults feedback. 6. Also at the end, my grandson asked DJ when he would return! We are very satisfied with DJ and anticipate a great learning experience for our grandson.
