“Cary paved a path of knowledge and inspiration for me by shedding light on the language of many jazz legends and using positive constructive criticism in our lessons. He is a very diligent and well composed individual that made learning easy for me!”

—Chris Ramirez
New York City, NY

More Testimonials

“From the outset, Scott has been more than a teacher; he has been a guide, mentor, and source of inspiration with his passion for and knowledge in music. Scott taught me the scales, how to play chords, finger formulas and rhythms while also explaining the underlying music theory. He has been very patient with me since none of these came natural to me and I had to try many times till I got more proficient at them. Our lessons over Zoom have been very effective. The Zoom lesson diagrams and designs Scott incorporates into the lessons are not just innovative, they’re incredibly effective. They compliment the learning process and have become great reference material for me to go back and review prior concepts we had covered. For anyone who wants to learn music or get better at playing an instrument, I highly recommend Scott Moyer as your teacher and guide in your musical journey.”

—Burak Sezen, Falmouth, ME
