"Jaime Maltez has been providing guitar instruction to our son, Rohan, for over a year now. We are extremely happy with Rohan's progress. Jaime is a committed and dedicated teacher and is organised and meticulous with his lesson plans. He shares his knowledge of music-related matters willingly and has guided us on instrument purchases twice in the past year. Understanding a 12 year old's motivations, Jaime shows great flexibility in coaching Rohan on both the electric and the classical guitar. Rohan attempted his first-ever RCM examination this year, and received an excellent review from the examiner, thanks in great part to Jaime's diligent teaching methods. We would be very happy to recommend Jaime to any potential students".

"Our seven-year old son Nicholas started piano lessons with Jaime almost two years ago and has responded very well to Jaime's instruction. From the outset, jaime's approach has combined theory, sight reading, and ensemble playing, all of which are fundamental to learning and enjoying music. Jaime is organised, sets realistic goals, clearly communicates his expectations and has been very flexible in(re)arranging leson times that suit our schedule. We have been very pleased with the progress our son has made with Jaime and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him".

-Tess is a happy young student eager to learn the guitar from day one!
"Tess took group lessons with Jaime from September 2013-May 2014. She went from never having played guitar to producing a clean, clear sound, reading music, knowing all her basic chords and mastering finger picking with her index and middle fingers used in fingerstyle music or for Classical repertoire exams. Tess loved the music book they worked through because it included many familiar songs which she enjoyed playing for family. Sadly, because of a move to a new city, we had to leave Jaime's studio, but Tess's new guitar teacher just this week commented on how solid her skills are. I highly recommend Jaime."

If I didn't have to move out of the country I would have continued my lessons with him. Thank you Jaime for everyhing...God Bless"
