Joseph is very forward thinking and has great ideas in promoting music and making it accessible to all types of students. He also was very prompt in answering questions and giving suggestions. He is very successful in teaching guitar and is a great instructor in many types of situations, whether group or private. I have really enjoyed working with him the past two years.

Cindy Kessler

Owner & Director, Stuart School of Music

I have known Joseph since my involvement with Palm Beach Music Teachers Association around 1995. Joseph is a passionate and talented musician. He is extremely dedicated and committed to the highest standards in regards to his teaching and coaching. I have heard many of his students perform in both recitals and scholarship winners in the Palm Beach area. I was impress with their fine musicianship and presentation of repertoire. Joseph is also very personal in a quiet manner that is friendly and with a lovely sense of humor. I highly recommend Joseph in his pursuit of attracting young musicians to join his classical guitar orchestra class!
