“I look forward to and love my weekly guitar lesson. It gets me out of my house, no screens, doing something that challenges me in a good way. I wasn’t sure how I would do in a group setting but, at this stage of my life, I couldn’t imagine doing it any other way. I needed something with schedule flexibility but never thought I’d be able to find it. Strumming was never my strong suit and I feel much more comfortable and confident in that area. I am very satisfied with my lessons!”

– Sarah J., Designer, Mother of 2

“I love taking lessons because I enjoy the welcoming, encouraging and pressure free environment. I didn’t know how to play before and I feel I have learned so quick. I am progressing faster than I thought I would and I enjoy the constant encouragement during lessons. You aren’t the only student in the class which relieves the pressure. I enjoy how flexible you are with your lessons, because with my job, it can be very unpredictable. The hours that I work, so I am able to switch my lessons very easily, and you are always very understanding.”

– Emily H., Healthcare Professional

“I enjoy lessons with you. It’s a very relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. You take the time to make sure I get what is being taught until I understand. You have lots of patience. I’m satisfied with my progress so far. The new skills I’m learning are not easy although I am very happy with the teaching methods. I’ve taken lessons before only to realize the guy teaching me was more interested in showing me how much he knew how to play. I’ve noticed improvements, especially the many strumming patterns that I have learned so far and that’s satisfying. The main reasons why I decided to go with you guys was because of how you do things differently and move at my pace of learning.”

– Rodney B., Occupation Manager, Father of 4

“I love my lessons. They are fun, informal and I learn something every time. You are kind encouraging and helpful. I like the atmosphere which is friendly, structured and relaxed
I like the joint session at the end when there is time to play together with music. It feels good to bumble through with better players!! I have noticed improvements, especially now that I know more rhythms. I am trusting the process and am sure, getting better all the time. Thank you for taking me on. I look forward to the year ahead.”

– Stella R., Physiotherapist


halifax guitar lessons student testimonial

“My daughter has been taking guitar lessons for years and for the first time, taking lessons is fun for her. Being in a supportive environment and with instructors that customize to her learning style with what she enjoys, is pivotal in her success. I am 100% happy with this decision and am looking forward to her taking lessons for years to come! Her enjoying it means the world to me. She feels encouraged and it doesn’t seem like ‘work’ like the other lessons did elsewhere. I’ve never had to convince her to go and even when she was sick and had to miss a session, she was very disappointed and sad to miss out!”

– Lindsay M., Health Mentor, Mother of 3


halifax guitar lessons student testimonial

“I am very satisfied! My son is excited to go to each lesson and learn more about playing. He seems to be truly passionate about it and is excited to come home and show us what he has learned. I’ve noticed vast improvement. He is learning and naming specific chords, playing specific tunes. He has had some focus issues in other parts of his life but doesn’t seem to with his guitar lessons. I’ve joked that he will be the one playing us tunes around the campfires this summer. I would definitely recommend. I like the personal approach and your passion for playing and teaching comes through.”

– Tabitha W., Stay at Home Mother of 2


halifax guitar lessons student testimonial

“Lessons are great! We are able to progress through lessons in a logical, step-wide fashion that continues to build upon core skills and introduce new ones, which then opens up new avenues for even greater progression. It’s obviously a ‘system’ they have developed and yet it feels like totally customized, personal, private lessons! Surprisingly seamless, yet challenging and rewarding at the same time. I’ve noticed great improvement too. Rhythm, strumming, chords, picking, finger picking, playing to music, and of course the higher level techniques like the value of proper hand and finger positioning, relaxation, how to hold the guitar, and so forth. Love it! The style, the personalization and the flexibility to accommodate busy lives when it comes to scheduling are great!”

– Joel P., Dental Professional, Father of 2

“I love every moment of my guitar lessons – it’s the shortest hour of the week! They are the perfect mix of challenging and confidence building. Making mistakes is welcome, laughing is guaranteed, and my progress has been far quicker than I could have hoped. I am a teacher myself, and I am very impressed by their approach. It shows how deeply they have thought about how to maximise students’ progress. My understanding of how the guitar works, and how I can get the most from my own playing, has grown exponentially in the time I have been taking lessons with them. I would recommend Halifax Guitar Lessons in a heartbeat. Beyond all that I have said about the quality of your teaching, and how you have helped me progress, you are so kind and welcoming. I feel very comfortable with both of you, and as I am an introvert who chooses her people pretty carefully, that’s a pretty big deal :-)”

– Emma C., Academic

“I enjoy guitar lessons because when the lesson is over I always feel like I am learning and moving closer to my goal. I enjoy myself and the lessons are very flexible. One hour notice to change a lesson… when does that happen in life!! I have definitely noticed improvements, mostly my strumming and timing. I am satisfied with the speed of learning. I understand the process and it isn’t easy. I had hoped it could be quicker but that is my level of learning and nothing to do with the instruction. The instructors are patient, able to connect with students, good organizational skills, encouraging, reliable and supportive.”

– Debbie D., Bookkeeper/Admin

“I really enjoy the way the skills are taught through songs as opposed to just learning them independently from each other – it gave me a sense of accomplishment when I’d get to the final version of a song and got the chance to play it. I don’t think there’s anything I would change about the lessons. The way in which they are delivered seems very well thought out and I’ve had nothing but a positive experience.”

– Brandon S., Active Military


halifax guitar lessons student testimonial

“I love guitar lessons. You guys just have a great way of delivering what you are trying to teach. Which is extremely hard to find in a lot of teachers. I love the great light atmosphere with no pressure or judgement – no matter your walk of life. I’m way beyond my expectations already. I told you guys I was tone deaf at our first meeting haha and on day one, in a half hour meeting I learned my first song. I’d just like to thank you for your confidence in me on day one. And your constant encouragement to get better. Thanks guys!”

– Artie C., Business Owner, Father

“I do enjoy guitar lessons. You are very pleasant, friendly and there is a lot of flexibility in lesson times. I’ve taken guitar lessons in the past and one thing that I’ve really noticed with Maurice is that he’s very skilled at teaching. I think for a student, having an instructor that possesses effective teaching techniques is far more useful than having an instructor who is a really great guitar player but lacks effective teaching techniques.”

– Mark W., Actuary


halifax guitar lessons student testimonial

“I enjoy taking guitar lessons because it gives me a personalized direction in my skill-building that I wasn’t able to achieve with just online tutorials alone. It really helps having a unique lesson plan that is geared towards the psychology of music & learning. I am very happy with the pace of my learning, there hasn’t been any point where I’ve felt stressed out or that I have been stagnant in my progress. Where I am now, being able to play songs I enjoy and toy with writing, is exactly where I’ve wanted to be for years, and either got put off or discouraged trying to teach myself or learn from others. Having professional (but also fun) structured lessons keeping me accountable and giving me guidance was exactly what I needed to get where I wanted to be, and has made me excited to see how far I can go! If you had have asked me years ago anything about playing guitar or music, I would have confidently said that I’m not cut out for it at all, but I’m happy to report that I was very wrong, mostly thanks to having the proper guidance and encouragement from taking lessons.”

– Cheyenne S., Sales Representative


halifax guitar lessons student testimonial

“I like taking guitar lessons for many reasons. The teaching style is one of encouragement not pressure to learn but an opportunity to learn. It is challenging but never feels forced, it does not feel teacher / student, but more of a collaborative approach of support and passing on their skills ..the skills they have attained over years of playing. I have played for a few years, self taught, and I have definitely seen improvement since I have taken lessons. They are great people and it’s easy to see they love what they do who are completely invested in making each player (all at different levels) feel welcome and important.”

– Eddy M., Movie Business


halifax guitar lessons student testimonial

“Our son really enjoys his guitar lessons. He started when he was 6 years old and we have never heard him be anything but excited to attend lessons. He enjoys the comfortable atmosphere and we love knowing that he will always leave a lesson feeling great about his guitar playing. Watching him learn new skills and then build upon them each week has been fascinating. Maurice & Sue have a knack for making students feel comfortable with their playing no matter what stage of learning they are in. We absolutely love Maurice & Sue…we feel as though they are a part of our family. Thank you so much for your kind and caring ways when teaching our boy :)”

– Greg M., Business Owner, Father of Two

“I’m happy with the progress so far. I think you guys are really engaging and know what you’re doing, I’ve overheard some lessons when they were virtual and it sounds great to me 🙂 That’s the mark of a good teacher! I’ve enquired at a few locations before committing to Halifax Guitar Lessons. After talking to a few places I just felt that Halifax Guitar Lessons was the best option because of your teaching style/philosophy.”

– Mona C., Policy Analyst


halifax guitar lessons student testimonial

“I feel the instructors are genuinely interested in making me better at guitar and it reflects in the style and content of the lessons. I think the best thing is they make it fun and are just great instructors. I started knowing a few chords and in a few months I feel like I have a solid foundation to build on. I can play multiple songs now and know way more chords. Despite years of failed attempts at learning on my own I think I’ve made a lot of progress. It is a bit faster than I expected but I am keen to keep going further now.”

– Brad E., Medical Professional, Father of Two


halifax guitar lessons student testimonial

“I do enjoy the lessons a lot and I look forward to it every week as they are so interesting and fun. I started noticing improvements after the first lesson itself. After about three months of lessons, I have improved a lot. I am very satisfied with my progress and it is definitely faster than expected. I love how the lesson is tailored to the student’s particular needs. The lessons are fun and the lesson is one time of the week that I look forward to! The teachers are very friendly and helpful. You are always encouraging us to improve. It shows that you actually care about your students. You have lots of experience in teaching guitar and the reviews of other students on your website proved that Thank you being amazing teachers and hopefully, I can continue improving every week.”

– Raveesh P., Calculation Analyst


halifax guitar lessons student testimonial

“I enjoy my guitar lessons, it’s a wonderful learning environment. What I love most is the fact that the lessons are tailored to me and my learning pace. I have noticed great improvement because I couldn’t play at all before. I was totally impressed by the first assessment and I continue to be impressed each week, it is something I really look forward too. The whole experience is amazing, the time goes by so fast and is so much fun, I love the teaching method and feel like it is tailored just for me. If you want to learn to play in a great place that is free of pressure and makes learning fun then this is the place for you.”

– Jacqui H., Military Veteran, Mother


halifax guitar lessons student testimonial

“Our son really likes his Guitar lessons, He always seems excited to go. He loves learning new songs and chords. He can play a song all by himself already. We are satisfied with the progress. We will recommend others to take lessons with you because you are very friendly and approachable. I really liked the introduction session you guys have provided to see if the child is interested and to assess. Our son is hard to please or its hard to make him do things if he’s not comfortable doing it. But he seems confident in going to the guitar lessons.”

– Tintu P., Registered Nurse, Mother


halifax guitar lessons student testimonial

“Our child enjoys guitar lessons “Because it’s cool.” He loves “Just doing guitar.” He is proud of the songs he knows. He seems more confident as time progresses. We’re very happy with the friendliness and flexibility and authenticity; you can really tell you love what you do and that shows with how you teach. Your flexibility and adaptability; your experience with younger children and focus on teaching SKILLS not necessarily specific songs. I appreciate that when we first inquired that you didn’t seem to be “selling” me your lessons. You listened to our needs, guided us accordingly, made recommendations and seemed thankful that we would consider you.”

– Jenn M., Project Manager, Mother of 2


halifax guitar lessons student testimonial

“Our daughter says ‘I love guitar lessons because of how they teach me – they help me understand it until I know it and get it. I have great teachers. I love it when I have been having trouble with some music and it finally clicks and I know it.’ There has definitely been improvement as she is more confident in her playing. I am satisfied with her progress. It seems just right. I would recommend others because I find the teaching is consistent. Sue and Maurice are professional and great with children. My daughter loves learning how to play guitar with them.”

– Esther A., Lawyer, Mother of 2


halifax guitar lessons student testimonial

“Sue and Maurice effectively make guitar lessons simultaneously fun and efficient. I didn’t expect to progress nearly as quickly as I have, and I truly look forward to my lesson each week. It’s obvious that they put so much work and care into their individualized teaching style, and I feel so fortunate to have stumbled upon them! I was a little bit intimidated to start learning the guitar as an adult, but thanks to Halifax Guitar Lessons I have found a new favourite hobby!”

– Natalie S., Urban Forestry Contract Supervisor


halifax guitar lessons student testimonial

“I am enjoying the lessons! Obviously there is a lot to learn but I feel like I’m making progress week by week. I like practicing which is a key for me. The teachers are very good, they keep it light but also keeps it moving a pretty good pace. They also keeps it fun. Since I started from scratch I have made lots of improvement thus far. I would say progress is faster than I expected, although to be honest I was not sure what to expect. They make it pretty easy to get started and it’s been enjoyable. Great teachers, good program structure, lots of diverse music, and flexibility around lessons when you need to move them.”

– Jim M., Business Owner, Father of 4


halifax guitar lessons student testimonial

“I do enjoy guitar lessons! I like being challenged and I also like having things to take away and work on. I have learned a lot in the last few months. I love the relaxed atmosphere … and the tricks/tips that are used to make you better. I couldn’t even strum right when I started so I’ve improved quite a bit. I would recommend others to take guitar lessons with you, you are very good teachers and are very knowledgeable. I would tell them they would improve very fast!”

– Shane M., Director – Nova Scotia Sport Hall of Fame, Father of Two


halifax guitar lessons student testimonial

“From the moment I walk through the door until I leave after a class I feel challenged, but not to a breaking point and super supported! The amount of support that I receive is amazing! I am very satisfied with my progress so far! I would have never thought that I would have been capable to retain so much so fast. I would 100% recommend someone take lessons from you. The environment is awesome, you guys are awesome and you know exactly how to teach guitar. You make it very enjoyable. Your knowledge of what you do and your ability to know how to push each individual person are invaluable. I was sold on lessons with you from our first night consult when I left and was already taught a song. I was so excited! I sincerely thank you for everything you’ve done for me thus far and look forward to continuing!”

– Mary Beth T., Elementary School Teacher


halifax guitar lessons student testimonial

“Our son looks forward to his lessons every single week. The method of learning makes it so fun and easy to see progress quickly while learning the important basics. I’ve absolutely noticed a huge difference especially in the last few months of his playing. He’s able to switch between cords without even looking and play through entire sheets of music. His sound has gotten so much clearer as well. Definitely satisfied. His progress is actually quicker than I would have expected. We actually tried another place for lessons which is closer to home. He did about a month with them and he dreaded going every week. The difference with you guys is night and day. Your method of teaching makes learning a tough instrument so much fun.”

– Kathryn O., Communications Manager, Mother of Two


halifax guitar lessons student testimonial

“Our child loves guitar lessons with you. He says he loves everything about it. He says, the other kids in the class and that Sue and Maurice are really kind. The assessment to see if it would be a good fit, he loved it from that moment.”

– Krystal D-L., School Teacher, Mother


halifax guitar lessons student testimonial

“The teachers are very very warm and welcoming and they make the lessons super enjoyable. They devote as much time as is needed to ensure I get every part of the lesson. I also appreciate the confidence and can-do attitude they nurture. I’ve not felt frustrated (or felt frustration from the teachers) for one second while trying to learn a new chord progression, riff, strum pattern etc. I am very satisfied with my progress. I played for a couple of friends the other day and you just might be getting new members soon. I had no idea I’d be able to play anything after just a few months. They are experts! I sincerely doubt you’d be able to find better (or warmer!) teachers. Mark it down, in two months you’ll be shocked at how far you’ve come.”

– Patrick A., Web Developer


halifax guitar lessons student testimonial

“I do enjoy my lessons! The environment is great and the tailored focus on what the student wants to learn makes it enjoyable. I would recommend guitar lessons with you. I think its a great setup especially for busy people who need some flexibility. It also seems like its a good setup for both beginners and experienced players as you’re able to progress at your own pace.”

– Doug W., Project Manager – Construction


halifax guitar lessons student testimonial

“When he started, he didn’t even know how to hold a guitar, and in such a short time, he plays actual music. He has joined and quit many things, he never complains about guitar lessons. We are so pleased, he is learning so much faster than we ever thought possible. We are so proud of him.”

– Renee P., Mother of two, Social Worker


halifax guitar lessons student testimonial

“I used to pick up my guitar once every 3-4 months for 10 minutes and put it down in frustration, now I have it out 5-7 times a week, and enjoy the time I am spending with it. This is all in one month. There are other places to go if you want to check off a new years resolution goal, learn 3 chords, and a couple songs. I feel that with this program is it geared to develop guitar players who want to put in the work to obtain a skill they can continue to work on for the rest of their life.”

– Brad M., Business Owner, Father of Two


halifax guitar lessons student testimonial

“We’re really happy. Our son really enjoys going. He loves to practice and looks forward to his classes. He enjoys learning new songs and learning how to play the guitar. He really enjoys it and practices a few times a week. He loves showing family members what he has learned. He enjoys taking it with other kids but also likes that it is a fun based environment.”

– Carolin M., Agent Compliance Manager, Mother of Two


halifax guitar lessons student testimonial

“I bought my first guitar over three years ago and vowed to ‘teach myself’ with videos and books. After three years of frustration, I was getting nowhere, but with less than four months training at Halifax Guitar, my playing has developed to a level I feared I would never reach. Enthusiasm is a key ingredient to learning to play guitar which Maurice and Sue have awoken in me.”

– Barry S., Economist, Teacher, Grandfather of Three


halifax guitar lessons student testimonial

“I have noticed such great improvement in my guitar playing skills since I started taking lessons with Halifax Guitar Lessons. I had struggled for a long time prior to starting lessons with them, while attempting to teach myself how to play the guitar using online material. I would recommend, without reservation, Halifax Guitar Lessons to anyone who wants to learn how to play the guitar in a great atmosphere that is also full of knowledge and enjoyment at the same time.”

– Sam D., Health Care Professional


halifax guitar lessons student testimonial

“I have tried before, went to classes, but I ended up frustrated. When I started with Sue and Maurice I noticed something different about them and I left that first class feeling empowered that I could do it no matter what. For the first time I feel happy to go to class, and I can see my progress clearly related to the teaching I receive. I look forward for my class every week, am motivated, I want to learn more and more and even when things don´t come naturally I don’t feel frustrated or down, I just want to keep learning.”

– Julie D-B., Mentorship Coordinator


halifax guitar lessons student testimonial

“I did lessons previously and was learning chords but hadn’t progressed to learning to ‘play music’ in the same manner as I am now. I’m able to move at a pace that is suited to me, yet I am pushed a bit to improve each week. By the end of each class I have a new skill to practice and improve on for the next class. A great friendly atmosphere with patient instructors who are always positive. Glad I ‘found’ you!”

– Dan G., Communications Supervisor, Father of Two


halifax guitar lessons student testimonial

“I enjoy the structured teaching program that is designed based on my guitar playing goals. I like the teaching style of the instructors and how each lesson builds on the previous ones. And of course, it’s fun and very rewarding to see progress in my guitar playing! I highly recommend Halifax Guitar Lessons because they allow you to set your own playing goals, develop a program specifically for you to achieve those goals, and it works.”

– Adam H., Medical Science Liaison, Father of Two


halifax guitar lessons student testimonial

“I have noticed massive improvements in my picking, strumming, muting, theory, playing with others, and singing while playing. I am satisfied and feel that I have progressed faster than I thought possible! I would recommend Halifax Guitar Lessons because of the flexibility of their scheduling, the no pressure atmosphere, the teachers are knowledgeable in many areas of music, and they are patient.”

– Wayne B., Business Owner, Lawyer


halifax guitar lessons student testimonial

“I have been playing guitar on and off for over 20 years and I had been relying on YouTube videos to improve my skills. However I was stagnating and searching topics like ‘easy songs to play on guitar.’ I have learned so much in such a short time. Prior to starting, I had plateaued and was simply doing the same things/patterns over and over….and over again. I am now making progress again and am having so much fun. When I get home, my husband always gets a taste of my new skills. Haha.”

– Diane W., Claims Advisor, Mother of Two


halifax guitar lessons student testimonial

“I’m really enjoying lessons with you. I find I’m given a good amount of freedom to figure things out while at the same time being lead through the process of learning chords and strum patterns, etc that would be hard for me to find alone. I couldn’t play anything before, now I can read tab, know several chords and several songs. You walk along with your students well.”

– Nakita E., Stay at home mom, Mother of Three


halifax guitar lessons student testimonial

“My lessons are the highlight of my week! It has been a dream of mine to play the guitar since I was a kid and it feels great to be finally acting on this dream. I find the lessons help hold me accountable to continue practicing regularily even through the frustrations of being a beginner. They also help to keep me interested in learning because I can see small improvements happening with every lesson. I find the lessons have helped me feel more patient with the process rather than feel frustrated that I’m not a pro yet.”

– Izzy C., University Student


halifax guitar lessons student testimonial

“I love how much fun lessons are and how well I’m learning. They are the right length and I like your personality’s. I’m now very confident with chords and what I know of finger picking. Very satisfied with my progress – I’m moving really fast.”

– Carter S., High School Student


halifax guitar lessons student testimonial

“I enjoy lessons! The pace is good, I haven’t gotten bored and there is adequate challenge each session. My timing has greatly improved as well. Keeps me sane during the pandemic as you make it fun and provide a friendly learning atmosphere. I also love the flexibility of hours and schedule.”

– Sina S., Health Care Professional


halifax guitar lessons student testimonial

“I started from zero, when I found lessons I didn’t even know how to hold a guitar. But now I can play some songs and am more comfortable with the guitar. One thing I liked is from the very first day you start working on songs along with learning the basic information. Guitar lesson with Maurice it is so fun, he teaches in such a way that you learn while having fun. He is so friendly, he will keep explaining the steps until you get it right. “

– Gurtej S., Univeristy Student


halifax guitar lessons student testimonial

“I enjoy my guitar lessons because I make a lot of progress and it’s also very enjoyable. What I like most is that the lessons are not too focused on theory, but instead on actually learning how to play songs. I also really like the flexibility with scheduling.”

– Owen Y., High School Student


halifax guitar lessons student testimonial

“Before he started he was not overly interested in taking guitar lessons but we wanted him to learn an instrument and after one lesson that all changed! He loves going to guitar lessons and he is able to play songs already. The best part is that we don’t have to pressure him to go – he wants to go and there is no requirement for us to get him to do homework. It does not require much effort on behalf of the parents and our children enjoy them. They appreciate how kind and patient you are with them and that most of all you make it fun.”

– Sheherazade G., Lawyer, Mother of Two


halifax guitar lessons student testimonial

“I like that she enjoys going to guitar lessons and that she is not required to bring homework with her like her previous music lessons where it was too demanding. She can already play several songs and enjoys the music she is being exposed to. The best part is that we don’t have to pressure her to go – she wants to go and there is no requirement for us to get her to do homework. It does not require much effort on behalf of the parents and our children enjoy the lessons.They appreciate how kind and patient you are with them and that most of all you make it fun.”

– Sheherazade G., Lawyer, Mother of Two

“I greatly look forward to the lessons each week, the atmosphere is very positive and energetic and the time really flies by. The level of engagement from the instructors is fantastic, it’s easy to tell that they love their job and this is their passion! Before I started I did not know how to strum the guitar, now after two short months I am able to play several songs confidently and my finger dexterity and strength has improved considerably”

– Vlad O., Financial Team Manager


halifax guitar lessons student testimonial

“I had been playing around- and working really hard at learning to play the guitar for almost 5 years. I tried on my own, then I paid for on line lessons. I was disillusioned. I thought I would never be able to play guitar. One lesson into my fourth month at Halifax Guitar Lessons and I cannot believe my progress! Sue & Maurice, together as a team, are amazing. Their patience, positivity, kindness, commitment and support along with their excellent knowledge and tutelage have totally surpassed my expectations. With the very flexible schedule offered, I have no problem fitting my lessons into my schedule. Thank you Halifax Guitar Lessons for helping my musician dreams come true!”

– Rebecca N., OR Nurse, Mother of Three


halifax guitar lessons student testimonial

“I enjoy my lessons because I am learning to play quicker than anticipated. I have learned to play a lot more chords in the past few months than I could trying to teach myself in a year. I am beyond excited for how far I have come in such a short time! Maurice and Sue are both awesome and I am having so much fun learning from them! If you want to learn to play guitar in a great atmosphere with teachers passionate about your success this the place for you!”

– Alex D., Service Technician, Father


halifax guitar lessons student testimonial

“I have wanted to play guitar ever since I can remember. Over the years, I have been given or loaned a few guitars and tried to learn from friends, a private teacher, a group class or on my own. Unfortunately I would become overwhelmed with frustration and a sense of failure and impatience and give up. The desire to learn to play never left me and although I was apprehensive about trying again at my age, but I made the commitment and signed up with Sue and Maurice. The apprehension was quickly replaced by an eagerness to come to every class and a sense that learning to play is ‘doable’ and enjoyable.”

– Cheri F., Retired Occupational Therapist, Mother of Two, Grandmother of Two


halifax guitar lessons student testimonial

“We have been very happy with the guitar lessons our son has been having with Sue and Maurice for the past year. He was not able to pick up a guitar a year ago. Now he is comfortable playing more and more complex chords and looks forward to his weekly lessons. Sue and Maurice have been very welcoming and our son has a good experience every time he goes. We would recommend Halifax Guitar Lessons to anyone interested in learning to play guitar themselves, or anyone who has a child who is interested in learning.”

– Margaret B., Physiotherapist, Mother of Two


halifax guitar lessons student testimonial

“Maurice and Sue are a great team. They keep me accountable in the most affable way possible! The pace is perfect. I’ve noticed a huge improvement in my fingering and strumming which is hugely motivating! No matter what level you start at, Maurice and Sue offer a friendly, fun atmosphere that will motivate you to practice and have you looking forward to every practice session like I do! “

– Scott H., Military Veteran, Business Owner, Father of Two


halifax guitar lessons student testimonial

“Sue & Maurice have great personalities which make learning fun. The flexibility of schedules is hugely important to me. Summer always has things going on which interrupt and I have changed most of my classes so far! I had zero experience prior and I am very satisfied so far. The only hard part for me is that now I want to buy more guitars!”

– Rachelle B., Quality Analyst

“Sue and Maurice are very relaxed and encouraging with my son, who can be shy and reserved. They are very supportive and have helped him build his confidence in playing an instrument. They have gone above and beyond to make my child’s learning experience very positive. They want him to succeed as if he was their own child which is very comforting and reassuring.”

– Nancy O., Mother of Three

“I have a blast at my guitar lessons! I like the pace of learning, getting out and doing something different, and learning a really fun, cool new skill! I started at zero, so each and every time I leave a lesson, I’m noticing progress and can feel that I’m building up to something that’s not easy, but super rewarding. I am definitely well ahead of where I thought I’d be after a couple months. It’s amazing how much you can learn!”

“I enjoy guitar lessons because it is in a relaxed atmosphere and I like that I am learning in small increments. I have tried on my own but I don’t seem to follow through.

“Maurice is a friendly, easygoing guy, which makes for a fun and enjoyable learning experience. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to start learning guitar or have reached a plateau at their current skill level. He uses certain techniques and teaching methods to keep the process enjoyable, yet pushes you to make progress and go beyond what you think you could do.”

– Alex A., Aircraft Mechanic

“I have aquired alot of education and training over the years, some more fulfilling than others, but nothing is more fulfilling then leaving a class/lesson/training session being able to do something you couldn’t do before and that’s the feeling I have after every lesson. Maurice’s ability to use numerous techniques, the way he builds your confidence, I can’t imagine there is anyone he could not teach to play guitar.”

– Tim M., Officer, Canadian Military

“The thing I enjoy the most is every issue or problem that I have trying things he is always quick to point out an easy and quick fix that I can incorporate instantly into my learning. I would highly recommend Maurice to friends and family cause of his patience, skill, and the way he can identify with each students goals and skillset. Maurice and Sue make their home a fantastic place for learning with their positive energy, cheerful demeanor, and comfortable setup. You feel at home.”

“My son likes his lessons. He is often very excited when he knows that the lesson time is approching. What I like most is that he is happy doing this. Only a few weeks back he did not know anything about guitar and now there are few songs he can play and we can recognize them.”

– Edvard H., Father of two, Business Owner

“I enjoy lessons with Maurice because everything is tailored to me. If I get a concept, song or chord right away then we move on to the next thing, but if I’m having trouble we hold off and work on that skill until I get it down. We move at a pace that is dictated by progress. I’ve only been playing for a little over a month now and can I play more than 6 chords and 6 songs, but not only that; I’m confident in my ability to play them.”

– Kat B., University student, Actor

“I do enjoy my lessons with Maurice. He takes time to explain things, and manages to adjust his instruction to your learning speed. He sees your ability when you do not, and encourages you to push yourself when you don’t believe you can. I’m ecstatic about my progress to date. I honestly thought I’d still be choppy and playing unintelligible music.”

– Geoff H., Father of two, Paramedic

“Maurice has taken me from no guitar experience to playing several songs in only a few lessons. When I started a few weeks ago I did not know a single chord of music nor did I even know how to strum correctly. I have actually progressed much quicker than I thought possible in such a short time.”

– Robert C., Retired Military Veteran

“I very much enjoy my lessons, and I look forward to going each time. It never feels like a chore or an errand. Every time I pick up my guitar, whether it’s just coming from a lesson, or practicing at home, I feel such a sense of pride, and I am so grateful for how patient he has been with me. I am extremely satisfied, and am surprised by how much I have learned so far.”

– Carol-Ann M., Corporate Strategic Planner

“I enjoy these lessons immensely! I searched for lessons for about a month and really can’t believe I found Halifax Guitar Lessons and Maurice. It was absolutely everything I was looking for in an instructor, methodology and environment. I really enjoy the teaching style! It is very stress free. I am progressing at my pace, not someone else’s. I can’t believe my improvement in just 6 short weeks! I am able to see this improvement every week!”

– Jamie H., Retired Human Resources Director, Father

“I like the fact he works on building each week on what you have learned. If you are struggling he takes time to ensure you get it before moving on. He is genuinely interested in what you want to learn and works with you at your pace. I appreciate the time and flexibility in the schedule especially with my busy un-predicable work schedule.”

– Todd R., Senior Manager, Auto Industry

“He has learned many new songs in a short time. He is strumming songs which sounds great and I find that he never minds going to practice his guitar when I tell him it’s time to. Maurice is very patient with kids and makes sure that they understand what he is teaching.”

– Jennifer P., Mother of Three, Dentist

“I have definitely noticed an improvement in my guitar playing since I have started. I started from barely knowing anything to being much more confident with a new challenge. I remember when certain chord shapes were sometimes a mental struggle, but over time it feels much more natural. It has only been a positive learning experience that will give me a lifelong skill in the end.”

– Karen M., University student, Nurse

“I am very pleased with my progress, which results from the confident and competent lessons I receive from Maurice. His ability to teach as opposed to just show has been critical as my enthusiasm continues to grow. He has real talent with regard to mediating my enthusiasm and reality. He is a patient individual who projects his passion into the lesson and leaves you feeling accomplished at the end of each lesson.”

– Dave M., Business Owner

“We have definitely noticed improvements. In previous lessons he kept repeating one or several strumming patterns for months and this made it boring and uninteresting for him. He comes from the class humming a song usually and although he does not play a lot at home he showed us that he knows several things.”

– Peter I., Father of Two, Engineer

“If we compare it with our previous experience, we are really satisfied as he has made significant progress, he loves playing guitar and he does it almost daily. We look forward to what our kids are gonna learn next and we appreciate the fact that they have fun and want to go forward.”

– Peter I., Father of Two, Engineer

“Being an high school teacher in the province for the past 12 years has given me some insight into both sides of the student-teacher relationship. An educator must be knowledgeable, patient, versatile, and creative – Maurice has all of these traits. Finally the last piece that makes Maurice’s school above the others is the trust you develop working with him. Trust goes a long way in learning, it could be the greatest relationship that a student and teacher have. Give Maurice a try, it has been the best decision I have made in my guitar learning journey so far.”

– Shawn Y., Father of Two, High School Teacher

“I have noticed a huge improvement in my playing and skill level since beginning lessons and my confidence has grown in leaps and bounds and that that was a major issue for me at the beginning. I really enjoy my lessons with you because you tailor your sessions to suit each individual’s level of competence, style and music preferences. I liked that you acknowledged my prior experience and helped me to build upon as well as learn new skills and habits which helped me to progress. Your lessons also allowed me to maintain my own style and individuality.”

– Kathryn D., Retired Civil Servant

“I love guitar lessons because they keep the learning fun while pushing just enough for success. The best part about lessons is that it is casual, but professional. I started after years of thinking I could try it myself, but actually not even able to tune my guitar. After first meeting I learned how to tune my guitar and play a song before even committing to lessons! They took my previous knowledge about music and built on that to give me personalized lessons so that I could get to do my best.”

– Christina H., Elementary School Teacher

“I have to admit, we had some reservations about our son taking lessons. He is a kid who can be hard on himself, and we thought that when he realized learning guitar was not going to be a quick process that his desire might quickly fade. However, Maurice and Sue have somehow managed to make guitar a highlight of each week for him. He loves his lessons. He looks forward to going and comes out of each lesson with a huge smile on his face”

– Erica B., Mother, Psychologist

“I enjoy guitar lessons at Halifax Guitar Lessons because they are lots of fun!, I have met some friends here as well. I have improved because now I can play electric guitar AND acoustic guitar. I’m happy and I find learning easy. I would tell all my friends to come here if they wanted lessons too because at the last place I went I barely learned anything and now I have a whole binder full of songs that I can play. This is a good place!”

– Myah S., Student

“What I like most about taking guitar lessons from Maurice is seeing my skills and sound develop, I find it very rewarding, as well as learning new songs. I have noticed amazing improvements in my guitar playing since I’ve started. I started my first lesson without ever playing before, and I never thought my guitar playing would be where it is now in such a short period of time.”

– Josh R., Retail Employee

“I had tried learning on my own for about 2 years, without a whole lot of success. After the very first lesson and each lesson with Maurice I can see an improvement with my playing because they are tailored to fit my needs and not a generic lesson from a book. “

– Tony B., Manager, Electrical Department


halifax guitar lessons student testimonial

“Having only worked with a canned learn-to-play-guitar package before, I thought the benefit of lessons would be the immediate and on-going feedback for corrections, etc. It was Maurice’s interest in teaching to achieve my own goals, and his focus on the teaching methods that impressed me. I could tell I was going to get not only the feedback and corrections I sought but also the training was going to be both customized and structured to suit my goals. I knew I didn’t need to consider trying someone else.”

– Niels K., Father of Two, Engineer


halifax guitar lessons student testimonial

“At this stage in my life I wanted someone to understand that being an adult it is not always easy to learn quickly and in a busy world with working and family times are tight and practice is not always as it should be. I was to the point of giving up trying to learn guitar even though it was a huge desire for me. I feel in the very short time I have been there which is just a few weeks that I have learned more than I thought I would. I even look forward to practicing and sometimes can hardly wait til I get home to check out the new things he has shown me.”

– Lyn M., Retired Office Administrator, Mother


halifax guitar lessons student testimonial

“I have only been playing for a few months now and I have gone from zero knowledge and experience to playing a binder full of exercises and songs. I like the consistency of the classes and the teaching style with current, and fun, music. I am very satisfied with the pace of the progress. You challenge me and keep me engaged.”

– Kermit P., Business Owner, Father of Four
