He has an outstanding knowledge… surpassed only by his knack for teaching it
After studying classical guitar throughout college I was concerned about finding a local instructor with a solid classical background, who could teach well beyond the basics.
With Kale, I was able to jump in comfortably where I had left off. He has an outstanding knowledge of the instrument, theory, and the genre, surpassed only by his knack for teaching it.
He truly understands the nuances and techniques of great playing, and is able to hone in on areas of improvement that I wouldn't pick up on otherwise. He takes the time to find music and exercises that are enjoyable and challenging - at the appropriate level for each student. On top of all this, Kale is relatable, patient, encouraging, and a blast to work with; I look forward to his lessons each week. He couldn't come with a higher recommendation!

He has displayed acute understanding and patience...
I have been a student of Kale for four years. I am 75 years of age and started with Kale without any musical experience. He has displayed acute understanding and patience which has helped with my progression. I am very satisfied with my progress, and committed to constant improvement.

Kale is quite simply one of the best you will ever find. His lessons are amazing.
My wife and I both have music degrees and fondly remember our early musical educations. So our expectations were quite high when selecting a teacher. And Kale is quite simply one of the best you will ever find. His lessons are amazing - patient, informative, engaging, and they seem to fly by. He does a a great job connecting with each kids on their terms, and using games and other creative ways to teach skills, music making, and other things that really elevate his student's playing.
Kale recently started teaching our older daughter some flamenco pieces and she just can't get enough! We just took her guitar with us on vacation with us and she was playing it for hours every day. She has developed a sense of pride in her playing and an eagerness to show off all she has learned.

He's a terrific teacher. Challenging and patient
I've taken lessons with Kale for a few years now. He's a terrific teacher. Challenging and patient. I started with an interest in expanding my 3 chord vocabulary for my job working with kids in a preschool setting. Over the course of a year or so I was able to expand my limited repertoire, improve my rhythm skills with different strum patterns and to figure out how to play new songs on my own.
Last year, with an interest in learning to read music and play for pleasure, I began studying classical guitar with Kale and have found it an interesting challenge. One thing I particularly appreciate has been Kale's willingness to work at whatever pace I'm able to go. Practice is everything of course and some months I'm able to work a lot and progress quickly and other times I have to go at a slower pace because I'm busy and preoccupied with other things and Kale has always been an encouraging and flexible teacher.
