“Maurice is an extraordinarily patient, knowledgeable, encouraging, and kind instructor. He is the first guitar teacher who has truly exceeded my high standards. His talent is evident as a guitarist, but few people are able to transfer their talents as performer into talent as a teacher. He is an inspirational teacher whose dedication is tremendous and eagerness is refreshing. I couldn’t recommend Mr. Cahen with any more positivity than I currently feel. He is a tremendous gift.” — N. Northern
“In the beginning Maurice taught me basic skills of playing the guitar, and introduced me to musical theory. Since then, I have learned to read music, to play jazz and classical pieces by sight, and I have begun to compose music. He consistently assigns me tunes and teaches me skills to help me play the type of music I prefer. Maurice critiques my playing with gentle, constructive comments. I have rediscovered a creative impulse in me which I have not utilized since I was a child.” — D. Finkelstein
“My confidence has improved tremendously. I have always appreciated the skill and artistry of Maurice. I highly recommend him!” — M. Pierce
“Maurice is a disciplined and demanding teacher, but somehow he manages to keep the focus on the fun of playing. Several times when I was afraid I would lose interest or ability, Maurice was able to refocus my efforts on the music and help me to see how much I really do love the guitar.” — R. Russell
“I have been studying guitar for roughly 17 years. Maurice helps me stay focused, moving ahead, and improving. I am very impressed with Maurice and would recommend him highly and without reservation to anyone interested in studying guitar.” — B. McKee
