I highly recommend! Dean Maged has been teaching guitar and music to my 7-year-old grandson over the past year. He has conducted lessons both online and in person. My grandson has enjoyed the lessons and made progress. However, as a retired educator, I have been impressed with his teaching abilities. (It takes one to know one!) Dean has excellent knowledge of his subject area. I have seen strong evidence of his pre-lesson preparations as well as his ability to adjust his plans when necessary because of his student or any of those outside disruptions we have all dealt with over the past year. I am also impressed by his ability to work with and relate to children, to remain enthusiastic with beginner level exercises, and to transition between formats. ~D.J.

Dean has a true gift in teaching music. He meets my son, who has special needs, where he is at and magically weaves a music lesson into his very fun sessions. I honestly can't give enough praise both his ability and his kindness. He is both a gifted musician and teacher and his love for music is contagious. We highly recommend! ~S.T.

“I had always wanted to learn to play the piano so at age 50, I decided it was time to start. Dean is an amazing teacher! He makes learning the piano fun. Dean is patient and looks for ways to individualize the instruction to keep it interesting and help achieve your goals. Highly recommend!!!” ~T.J.

“This guy shreds and takes the time to create perfectly tailored lessons for each individual student. I have learned so much from Dean and highly recommend him for students of all ages and abilities!” ~C.T.

“You can tell how passionate Dean is about teaching and music from your first lesson. He is very advanced in his skills, but is also very patient and encouraging with beginners like me!” ~C.M.

“Early days but already Dean is tailoring the lessons to my skills. Really appreciate him!” ~M.J.
