“Seth's talents are extensive, and he makes it look so effortless. I first met him during his final years of completing his PhD in Musicology.
I was working as an event planner. I hired Seth on several occasions to provide entertainment for alumni events and faculty dinners.
He has been completely professional, always punctual, and well-prepared. His easygoing nature puts everyone at ease. Then he performs, and he blows me away every single time.
He is also an amazing teacher. Solid in almost every style of music, knowledgeable, patient, and can instruct from ages 6 to 96.”

“I have wanted to take guitar lessons for years but could not find the teacher I was looking for until seven weeks ago. After taking as many lessons, I can tell you that I have found an outstanding teacher, Seth Greenberg.
Seth is technically brilliant, and his ability to teach is just TERRIFIC. He is non-threatening and very patient. Five stars is not a high enough rating.
If you are looking for an outstanding guitar teacher, you don't have to look any further than Seth Greenberg.”

“Both of my daughters took guitar lessons from Dr. Greenberg at the tender age of 7, and it was a wonderful experience for both of them! He is patient and supportive, gently building confidence and ability while fostering a general love of music. Seth is extremely knowledgeable of many music genres, and he encourages students to play what they enjoy. His passion for music is inspiring and contagious!
Aside from being a wonderful teacher, Seth is also a great person and an AMAZING guitarist! We make it a point to hear him perform whenever we can. I just can't say enough about him!”
