He is wonderful to work with and I highly recommend you meet and take lessons with Joe.’ - Geoff Burnett, Director for Long Lake Camp for the Arts

I have worked alongside Joe as a music tutor and I highly recommend him as a musician and a teacher. He is reliable, patient, and knowledgeable. I have had the opportunity to speak with his students and they always speak very highly of him. I have performed in small ensembles, bands, and pit orchestras with him and in all of these he has been a core member and asset to the group during both the rehearsals and performances.’ - Max Coleman, Colleague

‘Joe is an extremely good teacher. I learned more from him in a few months than I ever did over 10 years of going at it alone. He helped me understand basic musical theory and create a good practice routine. I would sincerely recommend Joe to anyone looking for Guitar & Bass lessons. - Wessel, Student

‘I had a knowledge of a few basic chords but wanted to learn more chords and understand different techniques in terms of strumming patterns, finger picking etc. At the outset Joe asked what kind of music I enjoyed and he has been able to tailor his teaching to include the type of music I like to listen to. He has taught me many different techniques which has given me the confidence to expand on my once limited repertoire. Joe is always encouraging and I would highly recommend him, whether you are a beginner or want to improve your guitar skills.’ - Mike, Student

Joe Boulton is a very accomplished musician/composer/singer/performer and an amazing guitar and bass teacher. He helped me and carried me through the end of my grade 8 and I am delighted with a high mark. Joe is always a true professional when it comes to preparing lessons, helping you with your technique, tempo and speed even in terms of music theory (to be made easy for me) he is a total guru. Joe, thank you for your patience, amazing ear for clarity and articulation. The next challenge is - diploma level! – as they say “after grade 8 the fun begins!!!” - Anne, Student

‘Had lessons with Joe, I knew him from school and immediately was more than happy to help.
He helped me learn 3 songs I wanted to learn from when I first picked up a guitar can’t thank him enough, if your looking for a guitar teacher look no further nice guy really good prices will have you playing songs you love in no time no matter what your ability is.’ - Luke Grundy, Student

‘Before I started taking lessons with joe I had absolutely no idea how to play bass and now I’m extremely happy with my ability and I credit that to him.’ - Luke Green, Student
