Parent Reviews:
"Jordan has been meeting with my son weekly for lessons. My son has nothing but great things to say so far! He says Jordan is helping him with his rhythm and tackling difficult pieces relevant to what he is working on in school. Communications have been timely, and he is flexible on top of being very kind. Don't pass up on Jordan! For reference my son is a Sophomore in High School and has been playing cello since 5th grade."
