Dr. Ness teaches in a step by step way so that I understand everything. She answers all my questions and I learned a lot about guitar from her. I liked how she taught me to write my own songs. She’s also very nice!

"…guiding struggling students with patience and wit."

— Dr. Mitch Ohriner, University of Denver

 
From the moment my 6-year-old son began guitar lessons with Dr. Ness I knew we had struck gold! She is a phenomenal teacher. Each lesson was a creative interaction between Dr. Ness and my son, in which his knowledge and love of guitar grew! He even learned about other musicians and how to compose his own songs! Dr. Ness knows how to be creative and evokes creativity out of her students. Anyone who gets the opportunity to have her as an instructor is very lucky!
— Angie, Mother of a 6-year-old guitar student

"Dr. Ness has great qualities for teaching, from perseverance to fearlessness to genuine care for her students."
