“Forest is very perceptive of each student’s learning strengths, pace and style. He adapts every lesson to fit like a glove. Learning to play guitar can sometimes seem a bit overwhelming, but Forest helps dispel that misconception with a fun dose of humor and ample encouragement to motivate his students. With an exceptional grasp of multiple playing styles and an in-depth understanding of music theory, Forest is an irreplaceable music instructor.”

“Forest has the ability and patience to work with all ages of students. As a “very senior citizen” I have taken many lessons from him and have observed him giving lessons to students as young as seven or eight. He adapts his teaching to what each student needs and will enjoy. He is an excellent role model for his younger students and admired as an exceptional person by us older students. I cannot say enough about Forest and how he has helped me improve my playing. What a fortunate opportunity for those who have been able to take guitar lessons with Forest. He is the best!”

“Forest has taught my 8 and 11 year old mandolin and dobro for over a year. They love lessons and playing their instruments. Forest makes lessons fun and relevant for each of his students. My kids were having such great success that I decided to start taking guitar! Forest is as patient with me as with my children. Now our home and hearts are filled with music!”
