Turn your love of music into a lifelong passion for playing guitar

I've been taking lessons for a little over 2 yeara, and what I love the most about Jonah is that he's so flexible. Not only does he respond quickly to communication and schedule changes, he is also willing to change up the lesson plan if something isn't working or is too difficult. He is very supportive as well, and encourages you to practice without being incredibly demanding. Overall, best teacher I've ever had.

Jonah brought me to the door of Guitar and helped me with building the fundamental skill set of playing. I was a beginner, I am still are. His teaching is fabulous - focusing on your needs, building connections, being patient, and encouraging me to step out of my comfort zone. 200% highly recommended!

Jonah has been incredibly responsive, flexible and an engaging teacher. Our teen has learned and grown in his playing and Jonah is always up for working on his latest struggle or interest. The online platform has worked well for us, as well.

I've got virtually no background/experience with music. I’ve always thought learning Ableton would be too overwhelming but I decided to try lessons with Jonah before scrapping the entire aspiration. It’s been a few months since my first lesson and I have yet to feel overwhelmed thanks to Jonah’s teaching approach. I actually love the learning process and am constantly inspired and excited to learn more.

He is an incredible teacher and clearly passionate about music. Anyone can learn a skill but not everyone should teach it. Jonah should absolutely teach.

Really enjoying lessons with Jonah. He creates a positive and relaxed atmosphere. He adjusts to my needs and explains things thoroughly I feel that I am getting the most out of each lesson.

Great first lesson! Very helpful - excited to advance

I needed help preparing for an audition and Jonah gave advice and practice tips that were exactly what I was looking for. Gave me a great game plan tailored to my specific situation instead. I was very impressed!

My 15 year old son has been taking virtual guitar lessons with Jonah and has loved it. Jonah is a great teacher who really gets on my son's level and connects.

Jonah is very patient and flexible. He identifies and is willing to work on techniques, such as barre chords, in a way that finally helps me stop the buzzing! I am looking forward to working with him.

Jonah's a great guitar teacher! Super patient and instructive. He's great at breaking down music theory into digestible pieces and has made the topic less intimidating. I've learned so much from him and have improved tremendously!

Jonah is one of the best music teachers I've ever had! He breaks down hard music concepts and answers questions with patience. He is very knowledgable about the guitar. Musicians of any level will learn a lot from him and will grow as musicians.

I've been taking lessons with Jonah for 6 years now (4th-10th grade) and the experience has been amazing! With Jonah's help, I have learned so much about the guitar, both in technical aspects and in simply "jamming." Jonah is always very patient, kind, encouraging, and his passion for music very clearly shows in his teaching. Every lesson I take is very enjoyable, and I always come out of the lessons feeling like I have made good progress on whatever it was we were working on that week. Whether you wish to learn about complex music theory and lead guitar (like I am currently doing), or just want to learn how to play a few songs, Jonah is a perfect choice as a teacher. Additionally, Jonah is very communicative and flexible with timing. Whenever I need to cancel or reschedule a lesson for whatever reason, Jonah responds to my messages quickly and is almost always able to find another day that week for our lesson to take place on. 5 stars, fantastic teacher, I highly recommend Jonah!

Jonah is an awesome instructor! He's very thorough and knowledgeable. I'm only on my 2nd lesson but I can already tell I'm going to learn a lot from him!

Jonah is an easy-going, kind and talented songwriter, who is already teaching me music theory, and helping me develop my song in just one session! I look forward to our next session. Great, patient teacher.

Jonah's a great teacher. He emphasizes the fundamentals, while managing to make the lessons enjoyable and tailored to your interests. I've made far more progress under Jonah's instruction than I could've imagined!

My son is very happy with Jonah’s class, he’s been very enthusiastic and likes it more and more every day! I highly recommend!

Great instructor. Very well prepared, clear and precise in what I need to learn. I had fun learning blues.

My husband has been taking guitar lessons with Jonah for a couple of years now and is very happy with him. Very patient and good with all ages!

My son has been taking lessons with Jonah for almost a year, and really loves working with him. I recently decided to join in with lessons of my own to try to progress out of the guitar rut I was stuck in. Jonah is pleasure to work with. Whether you're a beginner or beyond, Jonah is a patient, capable, and engaging teacher. We recommend him highly.

So far we have had 3 lessons with Jonah. He has been patient and friendly with my daughter who sometimes gets distracted and difficult. He has been able to keep her engaged and interested. And after only 3 lessons, he has taught her how to play one of her favorite songs. So far he has been fantastic.

Jonah is an incredibly patient and encouraging teacher. My friend and I take group lessons with Jonah and are at different skill levels, and Jonah is accommodating to each of us. Lessons are based around our preferences and we have both come a long way in a short time. Jonah is as good a teacher as he is a guitarist.

Jonah is a Godsend, seriously! I couldn’t have imagined, in my wildest dreams, a better introduction to guitar. Not only is he incredibly patient and knowledgable concerning guitar, but his passion and genuine love for the teaching process is palpable. I would recommend him a billion times over to anyone looking to learn, brush up, or further shape their guitar skills!

I've been taking guitar lessons with Jonah for a few months now and it s great!! I'm learning sooo much. Whether you've never played guitar or EVER played guitar he is a super knowledgeable teacher. It is so enriching and worth it. Let's face it, the year has been stressful. My weekly lesson gets me grounded just by playing my own beautiful music. Anyway, thanks to those who've posted and recommended Jonah. I'm A BELIEVER or should I say "JONALIEVER?"

I've been playing guitar (on and off) for over 50 years. I read Jonah's post about 3 months ago and decided to call Jonah for lessons. I had been feeling very rusty and wanted to polish my skills and learn some new songs. I've already learned a lot from Jonah and my guitar playing sounds much better in every way. Jonah has been great to work with, he is easy-going, fun and most importantly, he's a great teacher.

I started playing guitar at age 10 but had let it go over the past couple decades. Eager to re-learn the instrument, I recently started taking lessons with Jonah Rosenthal and he's fantastic. Exactly the kind of teacher I was looking for - thorough, creative, encouraging, and most important - patient. I can't recommend him highly enough, for someone just starting out on the guitar or a lapsed player like me.

Jonah is a great teacher. He's patient and easy going. I immediately got the feeling that he loves playing the guitar and that spirit is motivating.

Jonah is kind and patient. He makes the lessons fun and enjoyable! I'll be back for sure!

Jonah has been teaching our 5 year old daughter for a few months now. We are always impressed with his professionalism and his patient and gentle nature. He is very positive and encouraging with our daughter and he has very realistic expectations. She just loves him and so do we.

Jonah is awesome! He has been teaching my 7yr. old son to play guitar. My son took to him instantly. He always has a pleasant smile and he is patient which was exactly what i was looking for in a music teacher for my son. I highly recommend him to anyone inquiring.

Jonah is my outstanding beginning acoustic guitar teacher. He's enthusiastic, incredibly patient, and customizes every lesson to cater to my skills and interests. He's very knowledgeable and is an all around excellent teacher. I highly recommend him.

Jonah is great. I highly recommend doing lessons with him.

I've had several lessons with Jonah and they have been great. Jonah shapes his lessons around the student in a way that is fun, easy to follow and efficient. He listens to what you are trying to accomplish and gets you there without losing you along the way.

Jonah is an incredibly skilled teacher and is very easy to communicate with - highly recommended!

As a complete beginner, I was intimidated to start learning guitar but Jonah has done a fantastic job of allaying my fears. I highly highly recommend him, especially if you're just starting out. He's patient, knowledgeable, well prepared, and most importantly, passionate. His enthusiasm is infectious and inspires me to keep working hard.
