"Prasant "Sean" is an A-mazing teacher! I am not musically "gifted" whatsoever but have always wanted to learn guitar. I was very hesitant as an adult learner to even give this a try. Prasant's patience, and knowledge truly had me at ease immediately and had me believe in myself and begin to play. Life "took over" and I stopped taking lessons but I know for sure percent is THE only teacher I want when I'm able to carve out sometime for myself and return to lessons. It was an overall great experience learning from Prashant and I look forward to lessons again soon! Positive Communication, Quality, Professionalism, Value
