"I consider Wesley to be an excellent instructor. He draws on his extensive experience and training to analyze the technical problems of the learner, and to suggest strategies both for improvement of technique and for development of style."

For Teaching
"In the past, my children have had various music instructors and have made satisfactory progress. A friend highly recommended Wesley and as soon as my children started their lessons with him, I noticed a vast improvement in their progress and in their enthusiasm. I don't have to remind them to practice. They do it all independently now. They are especially motivated because Wesley asks them what type of music they want to play and he gets that music for them. His calm and gentle manner inspires them to put forth a great deal of effort and to learn. I'm impressed. "

For Teaching
"Wes truly helped me enhance my guitar playing ability and understanding of music today through structured teaching while providing realistic applications to what I was learning. Some aspects of guitar theory can seem daunting and repetitive, but Wes somehow made those lessons fun and informative, but most importantly, he made sure that I knew how to apply what I was learning to songwriting and soloing. If it wasn't for Wes' enthusiasm and knowledge, I doubt I would have progressed as far as I have in the past 2 years of having him as a teacher."
~S. Sapra - Oakville, Ontario
For J. Wesley Russell
"It has been a pleasure working with Mr. Russell, in order to accomplish his vision for this site. He possesses a truly remarkable personality, and has much to offer. If I ever choose to take up guitar again, there is no question who I would seek to learn. "
