Testimonials:
“JP Heston, my daughter’s guitar teacher, has been doing an excellent job teaching remotely. He has been prepared, on time, flexible with schedules, creative and patient. I have found my daughter picking up her guitar often throughout this time at home. It has helped her connect with other friends who play, given her a break from all of this uncertainty and has been a constant that makes her feel accomplished and proud. Great job to the Jammin With You team for being so prepared and on top of the online learning component. We have not missed a beat and JP is awesome!” — DANIELLE SULLIVAN
