3 lessons in and wow it has been great! I would definitely recommend Josue if you’re looking for an instructor. He gives perfect real time feedback and sets realistic attainable weekly goals. I am 100% going to book another set of lessons after I’m finished with my first set.

About Mundt Music Studio (guitar/bass/keys)
Hello! My name is Josh Mundt and I am a multi-instrumentalist from Denver, Colorado. I love music and I am truly passionate about teaching. I believe sharing knowledge is important and there are few things that thrill me more than watching a student develop as a musician and discover the joys of playing. For me, teaching isn't a side gig to pay the bills. It is one of the main components of my musical life. You can be assured that helping to reach your goals will always be my top priority. I have been conducting remote lessons since 2020 and have developed a system that allows for highly productive lessons over the internet. Why should you hire me? How qualified am I anyway? - I hold a Bachelors Degree in Music with an emphasis on Jazz. - I taught with Colorado Conservatory For the Jazz Arts - I taught with School of Rock teaching all age groups and skill levels across multiple instruments. - I have led group music classes in several elementary school classrooms - I have years of group and individual teaching experience and years of gigging experience During my time in college, I learned a lot about music education and received a very holistic education myself. Not only did I learn a lot about guitar performance, but I also learned music theory, ear training, musicology, audio engineering, music business, and much more. I spent my time in college immersed in music and also took every chance I could get to play gigs, teach, and also hear live music to draw inspiration. What do lessons with me look like? I take a very goal oriented approach to teaching. I don't have a generic curriculum that I feed to students because I believe every student is different. Every student learns differently, every student has different goals, and music means something different to everybody. Maybe your aspiration is to study music in a top tier university and go on to tour the world. I can help you get there. Maybe you simply just want to jam on some simple rock songs with your friends. I can help you get there. Maybe you're not sure where your music journey will take you. That's great! I can help you explore your options and learn more about what music means to you. I place a big emphasis on goal setting. After we get an idea of what you want to achieve as a musician, I help you set up goals. We can choose something tangible that can actually be achieved over a certain period of time. Additionally, we can set smaller "micro goals" that can be reached quicker and serve as benchmarks toward achieving that big goal. Whether your goal is to play a gig in front of an audience, to learn a hard solo, to be able to attend a jam session, we can come up with a step-by-step game plan to get you there. I also emphasize music as a passion and as something that sparks joy. I like helping students learn songs they like, or learn about their favorite musicians. I try to make lessons fun and, even if something is difficult, try to promote a relaxed learning environment. I believe we get better results when we are in a good headspace. Lessons with me are fun because it's all about the joy of music! I am not rigid, but you will still find quick progress. For me it's not just about feeding you information, but fostering a healthy relationship with your instrument. My degree was in Jazz, but I also love rock and metal and teach those as well. My approach to teaching Jazz is quite different from my approach to teaching Metal, but there is quite a bit of crossover and we can even study both genres of they both interest you. I offer lessons over Skype or in person in the Portland area. We can schedule a 30 minute trial lesson to talk through your goals and see if it's a good fit. After every lesson, I also provide students with PDF and GuitarPro practice sheets that they can use outside of the lessons so important concepts aren't forgotten. I can also provide samples of these to anyone who is curious about what lessons entail. I look forward to working with you!

I am a week into guitar playing and I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. Josh is: patient, knowledgeable, and kind. This attitude promotes a positive and supportive environment for learning and fun. If you wish to excel in your guitar playing Josh is the instructor for you.
Josh is awesome! He’s been guiding me with my sight reading and has giving me the right steps and knowledge to practice. He really knows his stuff!
Had a great first lesson with Josh, looking forward to taking more in the future
Josh has been easy to work with and flexible. Our son is 5yo and Josh goes at his speed!
Working with Josh has been a great experience - he has taken the time to understand my level and my goals, and tailored a program that has been great. I'm amazed by my progress, and what I've been able to do working with him. He also has a great eye and ear for what and how I am playing, and is consistently able to note and help me correct issues in my playing. I highly recommend Josh.
Awesome guitar instructor. Having played and studied music here and there, I didn’t quite understand as much as I wanted. Josh has made things a lot clearer for me and has provided great guidance. He has the knowledge, understanding, and patience needed to teach. Looking forward to continue learning from him.
Our first session with Josh was a hit for sure. With everything online these days it’s kind of hard to get the full experience but I felt like my son got as close to it as possible. It was fascinating to watch how Josh taught my son so much in one session online. He’s very excited about it and very excited to continue . He hasn’t stopped playing or talking about it since. Thank you so much Josh.
I'm someone who has played guitar for about 6+ years now, and finally decided to get lessons again after 4 years learning on my own. On my own I was never really able to fully grasp theory, but having Josh there to teach me and ask questions is extremely helpful. He is very knowledgeable and very easy to talk to.
Josh walked me through my goals and provided me with a road plan to get me there. Josh provides excellent summaries of his lessons after each session to assist in the learning process.
