Testimonials

"John Force agreed to take our son as a pupil at an early age, and has taught him guitar continuously now for several years. John has a knack for inspiring his students by referencing what’s popular, while laying down a solid base of skills. John’s a gifted teacher, patient and enthusiastic, and we’re really pleased with our son’s progress and his continuing enthusiasm for the guitar. The concerts are both a great incentive to practice and a charming showcase for the kids."

"John has been teaching electric and acoustic guitar to our boys for the last nine years. We’ve been thrilled with his instruction and patience with the boys and they have enjoyed the curriculum. John consistently chooses fun and current songs for the kids to learn. John and his team of music teachers at Neighbour Note put a lot of effort into organizing recitals and band show cases in Roncesvalles, High Park, and Bloor West Village. We also appreciate the fact that John comes to our home for the guitar lessons. This has simplified our life considerably."

"John has been teaching our daughter guitar for several years now. John helps her stay motivated by teaching the discipline through flexible content that our daughter is passionate about. John always goes above and beyond to support the student’s success, even arranging and adapting the music that enabled our daughter to successfully compete in music competitions, such as the Davenport Music Festival."

"John Force knows how to work with kids. My son summed it up when he said “ I learned how to play guitar — and I didn’t even feel like I was learning. John is amiable and always looks to work with the child’s unique personality, helping to re-enforce an appreciation for music."

"John has been our daughter’s guitar teacher for three years. She has made great progress (and had a lot of fun!) over the years. John is a talented and creative musician, and an excellent educator. Not only does he teach a wide variety of techniques and styles, but also adapts his program to the interests of the student. It is very convenient to have John come to our home in Bloor West Village for the guitar lessons. He is unfailingly punctual and cheerful. In summary: John is a treasure!"

"Our son has thoroughly enjoyed his guitar lessons with John and looks forward to them each week. John’s selection of music has kept him interested and motivated enough to practice regularly without prompting. It has been a pleasure getting to know John and we have recommended him to many of our neighbourhood friends who have children interested in taking guitar lessons."
