Joe Macedo - Guitar Lessons

Joe is the best teacher, I have come across he has a passion to teach his students like no other. We are very pleased with his efforts and always giving his students a chance to grown and also learn different types of music, they are interested in. He is so friendly and just loves what he does. Thank-you Joe for all that you do for our children, we wish him all the best for his hard work.

Excellent! Highly recommend Joe as a teacher and guitar player. He’s tailored his lessons for what I’m trying to achieve right now and goes at the right speed for me. Full of helpful tips and techniques he’s always prepared for lessons and I learn something every time. I’m becoming a better player and song writer by his guidance and encouragement.

Joseph's mentoring and guidance has been nothing short of outstanding - his lessons are very easy to follow and the ideas flow from on lesson to next with ease. In the short time I've noticed significant improvements and understanding of music theory as well.

Joe is an awesome teacher. He makes learning guitar fun. I've gone from novice to being able to read and play complex songs. His studio in Mt Eden provides a great atmosphere to learn guitar - highly recommend booking in with him.

My personal training with Joe has been fantastic, his knowledge base and awareness of my own specific needs has enabled me to progress both physically and in my own understanding to a degree I don’t believe I would have gotten with many others. Joes mix of professionalism and approachable, easy going nature leave me zero doubt in recommending him regardless of what your fitness goals may be.

Joe has been a wonderful teacher for my son over the past four years. He is a very dedicated teacher who takes the time and effort to tailor each lesson. He also helps work through his learning plan and goals while making the sessions fun. Joe goes out of his way and takes the initiative to help with any additional learning requests. He is very good with kids and has been a great mentor for my son learning the electric guitar.

We found out about Joe through a recommendation and we’ve been super happy with the lessons he’s given our son. He has a great easy manner and relates really well with our boy. His lessons are fun and the music choices are relevant and up to date. Joe has provided great feedback to us as parents and has been so encouraging towards our son who looks forward to his lesson every week. We have no hesitation in recommending Joe!

I’ve been playing music on and off for over 20 years and Joe is one of the best teachers I’ve ever had. Aside from the fact he’s an excellent, passionate guitarist and music theorist, he's a fantastic teacher and an incredibly nice guy. Joe makes me feel welcomed and comfortable each and every lesson, and isn’t afraid to lay down a challenge to motivate me.Joe takes the time to phrase difficult concepts in a way that's easy to understand. He’s also observant enough to recognise when you’re feeling bored or frustrated, and will switch things up to stop that from happening. He will also point out mistakes or areas where you can improve without making you feel bad about it. Since I took up guitar again after a long absence in May 2021, I’ve far surpassed the level I was at previously and I can say with confidence that Joe has a lot to do with my awesome progress.It sounds a bit cringe but I could write a much longer review about how happy I am with my lessons, but honestly the best way to find out if he’s what you’re after is by booking a few lessons and checking him out for yourself. I promise you won’t be disappointed.

Joe has been an excellent guitar teach to my 11 year old daughter, for the past 4 years. His passion and enthusiasm for music and all things guitar has been infectious. My daughter's confidence and guitar skills have significantly improved during this time, and probably to a level that I did not anticipate her to move to. My daughter loves playing, it has now become part of her every day routine rather than a forced chore. She refuses to go to another teacher, even when Joe moved places, we had to drive for an hour to get to her lesson. Joe is patient and has a great ability to teach without pressure. We would highly recommend him to anyone.

Joseph is an outstanding teacher. I have had lessons in the past from others, but have learnt so much more in the short time I have been with Joseph. He is fantastic at pointing out better techniques to play pieces easier. He is patient, but determined for one to get it right. Joseph is highly qualified and really knows his music theory and how it relates to the guitar. I can easily feel confident you will not find a better teacher whether you are a beginner or someone like me, just wanting to better my technique and speed. And just a really nice guy!
