Students Say . . .

Guitar 2“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

Guitar 3“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

Guitar 4“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

Guitar 1“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
