About Kurt Johnsen Music

I teach guitar, bass, and ukulele. I teach all ages and styles. I've been teaching in Northwest Arkansas since 2009. I teach in peoples homes and some students come for lessons in my home. This leads to long term relationships. Many of my students have been taking lessons with me for years. My method is based on a healthy balance of learning and fun. I teach a lot of kids, so it has to be fun. I have developed a practical and intuitive method that mirrors my formal education (I have a music degree), performing experience, and a lifetime of playing guitar. I have seen the method work. Many of my young students have done well performing at school talent shows. Some of my more advanced students are working toward professional careers and have begun performing at local venues. I simply love teaching. I have many long term students. It's rewarding to see students develop solid skills and knowledge over time.

I cannot say enough amazing things. I look forward to my lesson with him every week, and we have a blast. I’m learning so much, and he genuinely cares and motivates me to grow in my skills. So many cool stories and tricks to help anyone at any level!

Kurt was very quick to reply. Polite and professional. After our conversation I felt that he was very knowledgeable and would be a great teacher. I have chosen not to pursue lessons with Kurt at this time only because of the structure, scheduling and cost of his lessons. I didnt feel that his fees were expensive, however I didnt care for the subscription based service that was a monthly amount. Im looking to take a lesson and then pay for that lesson as I can schedule them due to my erratic schedule.

Kurt is a great instructor! He listened to you goals and helps create a plan to best teach his methods to his students. If you’re a beginner or aspiring to improve he can help guide you on your journey.

I have been taking lessons with Kurt for a month now and I have already grown as a guitarist exponentially. He breaks everything down in an a way that is easy to understand and makes it fun at the same time. I could not have found a better teacher. He has so much experience and so much to teach. Not to mention that he also is jam packed with stories from working in the industry so long. Arrives on time and will work with you until the lesson is done and then some. All of this under a completely reasonable price tag. I cannot recommend him enough if you are looking to get into guitar. Thank you Kurt!!

Kurt is a great teacher. He is patient and attentive. He has a lot of anecdotes and stories to share, all the while demonstrating a mastery of the guitar and a passion for teaching. On top of all of that, he shows up early and stays late and is very communicative. Kurt is fair, talented, and responsive. I'm not sure what else there is to look for!

2nd month . So far very good. He has an understandable, consistent method that I like. Most importantly - he is not annoyed by questions and listens to where I'm at.

He is the perfect for me. Im not a beginner and he realizes that and has a plan to move me forward
