"Absolutely the BEST teacher going ! Have had the privilege of two years of lessons with Elizabeth, and after having "played at" guitar for 50 plus years, she has taken me places I could not imagine. Check her out if you've ever considered taking your playing to another level!!!"
-Wayne Dunn

"I just wanted to say how grateful I am for all that I have learned. I am realizing all the time that different experiences give us a different perspective on everyday life. I am not only learning about music, but along the way I am also learning how to challenge myself and see things in a different light."
-Christine B.

“It’s one thing to have talent. It’s another thing to know how to teach. With Elizabeth, you get both. The talent to inspire you, and the ability to show you how. I’m an intermediate strummer who finally decided to take some lessons. Glad I did.”
-Steve S.
"Elizabeth is an amazing guitar instructor! She provides personalized attention, great patience and knows when I need a challenge. Her incredible knowledge has helped me to understand the language of music. I am so grateful to have begun my journey of learning how to play acoustic guitar with her and look forward to making her proud as I continue to grow as a musician."
-C, Skype student since 2014
"We weren’t sure if our daughter was too young to start lessons, but we really wanted her to start on an instrument. Elizabeth is great with Morgan! We all look forward to the lessons and I am amazed at how quickly Morgan is picking it up. The lessons are fun and age appropriate, and Elizabeth always listens to Morgan and lets her have input on what she plays."

"I've been taking lessons from teacher Elizabeth for a couple of years now but I've also had the chance to meet and play with all the other teachers as well. These are wonderful people dedicated to helping you discover or improve your inner musician. I've gone from complete beginner to being able to play and lead songs in the group jam sessions under their tutelage. It's been a great journey and I could not have asked for better inspiration and guidance. I'd give more stars if it was an option."
-Pete
"Creative musical life support: I am extremely pleased with the progress I have made thusfar. Elizabeth's method of teaching has taught me so much more than I would have expected to learn in the short amount of time that I have been involved so far. I am looking forward to a long and productive musical journey with Elizabeth and I'm confident that my talents, with her help, will improve beyond what I have imagined to achieve on my own through many years of unproductive struggle."
-Ed
"I have never been asked to work on these specific drills. I finally see endless possibilities with even just this info. And I know this hasn't even scratched the surface. I always knew it was there, just wasn't finding a way to get there..."
-Carl (Skype student)
"I was one of those guys that could play a little but could never quite get over the hump. I thought if I could just get that “one thing,” I'd be ok. I've got enough instruction books and DVD's to start a music store.
I decided I'd start taking Skype lessons and took quite a few from different people before I found Elizabeth. She's given me a structured, step by step approach, and I realized what the "one thing" I was missing was a solid foundation.
There's no quick, easy shortcut. But I'm now on a path to become a competent guitarist. The lessons are organized, fun, and you get a lot in an hour. I can't recommend her enough. She is Fantastic!!!"

"I became interested in learning to play Pedal Steel Guitar about 5 years ago. I had three teachers over the years in the Los Angeles area. The problem was hauling this 70lb monster around to lessons. Big pain. I heard about lessons via Skype and began searching for a teacher. Serendipitously, I found Elizabeth Lawrence. I think I have been taking lessons from her for about 1 & 1/2 years now. She is awesome; she truly cares for her students and their progress. She is patient, easy going, and fun to work with. I would highly recommend Elizabeth to anyone who is interested in learning to play."
