DJ is one of the most open-minded people I know. Over the course of working with him we became good friends and he has been my mentor and voice of reason when it comes to music. He is currently teaching me piano, drums and the guitar and he is an expert in all three. He is an unbelievably talented musician and couldnt be more happy we matched up. Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication to your students DJ
