"My 13 year-old son has been taking lessons with Kirk since 2008. Kirk has done a great job of making the lessons fun, not putting on too much pressure, and giving my son the positive reinforcement he needed to continue with daily practicing and weekly lessons. For my recent birthday, Kirk taught my son to play a beautiful version of 'Hey Jude', and then helped him record it using Garageband. It made my son feel really good about being about to gift it to me, and I LOVED it! I am so glad that Kirk has been a part of my son's musical experience, and I know my son is glad that he has developed this skill. It gives him an outlet for his own creativity, relaxation and pleasure, as well as the opportunity to play with others in bands and for fun."

"Kirk has taught our twelve-year-old son, Bennett, guitar for the last six years.  Kirk's patience and support has enabled Bennett to gain confidence in his abilities and strengthened his love for music beyond just the guitar.  Kirk's reliability and flexibility with lesson times has proved invaluable to our family's crazy work schedule.  We wholeheartedly recommend Kirk as a guitar teacher for kids, especially for those that may need extra focus and support."

"My 18 year old daughter has been studying with Kirk since she was 12; my husband and I have been very impressed at her development as a musician in this time. Kirk is very proficient in all types of guitar music, and he has always allowed her to choose what songs she learns. Under his tutelage she has developed some serious skills. Listening to them playing 60's and 70's classic rock in our living room is a pleasure that we look forward to every week!"

"Kirk's teaching has allowed me to learn the guitar playing songs I listened to growing up - Smashing Pumpkins, Radiohead, U2, Pearl Jam. He can also teach the fundamental music theories while you're learning to play your favorite songs. Most importantly, he'll work to customize a lesson plan that works for you. Highly recommended!!"

 "Kirk Huneycutt is an excellent musician; you’ll hear that right away. The way he approaches teaching is relaxed, attentive, and fun. Kirk conveys the rigors and discipline of technique, structure, composition, melody, and scales through a knowledgeable and broad-brush approach of genres and styles of music. My son enjoyed taking lessons from Kirk from his 6th Grade year until he graduated from high school and went off to college.  He learned a lot about reading music and improvisation and he looked forward to playing guitar with Kirk every week; it was a very positive experience for him."
