“I hope this finds you well. I wish I could convey how much your class has meant to me. Describing it as life-changing would not be hyperbolical. Thank you for all that you have done for us. Thank you also for bringing your former student to class. He is inspiring. Interestingly enough, I made a commitment to a friend that I would finally go to the Da Poetry Lounge tonight and participate, after avoiding going for the last 3 years. Anyway, in the last few weeks, I had wondered how I could incorporate guitar into performance poetry and today, now I know. I know we only have 2 more days left of class, but would you mind accompanying me on my poems that I could do with you so I can see what is possible on the guitar? It's only 3 minutes long. I started to compete in poetry slams back at Harvard, 10 years ago! and I haven't been that as active since. I am trying do something about that and I think guitar will help. Franco's reminder that dreams can come true was a helpful reminder. I try remind myself each day that my dreams will not happen on accident. ”

“Professor Carter brings an infectious energy and enthusiasm to guitar classes, which boosts the motivation of students to learn and practice daily. He is a professional, who is detailed in his teaching approach and always fun, Be prepared to improve at pla ying guitar whether you are a beginner or advanced student. In class, we wasted no time rather jumped in often following Professor Carter's lead without chord charts, appealing to our nascent ability to play by sight and ear. He strived to bring out the be st and brightest in our class, not by focusing on the slowest students, which I initially thought myself to be, but rather having confidence in each one of us that we'd rise to new levels. He pushed us to be better, to want to be better guitar players. Pr ofessor Carter covered timing, rhythm, strum patterns, reading notes and chords, writing charts and preparing to perform in a final class performance with an audience. The performance and group energy was a highlight of our class. In addition to weekly c lass attendance, I particularly benefited from Professor Carter's Rock Like The Pros App. because I'd practice guitar along with Carter's App video tutorials, which were extremely helpful in getting the rhythm and strum patterns right. I highly recommen d Terry Carter to anyone who wants to take his or her guitar playing to the next level, and have a blast doing so.”
