What Students Have to Say about the Passim School of Music:
"It's a fantastic opportunity to learn uke from an accomplished musician like Tim Mann. In addition to teaching chord fingerings, Tim also is able to impart a beginner's understanding of some basic music theory. This means that not only will you impress your friends by playing "Brown-Eyed Girl", but you can throw around phrases like 'major' and 'minor'! Seriously, Tim cares deeply about music, and that passion alone is a great gift that he gives his students." -- Niki Vettel
"Chris Brenne is the BEST!"
"My music theory course gave me practical tools that I can use to improve my songwriting." -- Marc Bridge
"I've taken several courses and workshops in the last few years and am a better musician for it.Whatever it is you want to learn,it's there for you in an affordable (even more so if you're a Passim member!), friendly, supportive atmosphere. Don't just think about it...DO IT!" -- Bill Sabat
"Passim School of Music Rocks!"
“Janet Feld teaches four levels of guitar at Passim, and I wish she had 10 more. From an upbeat "Delilah" to a soft and sultry "Born to Be Wild," Janet makes you want to sing and play - and then she shows you how. Can't beat that.” -- Wendy Fox
"Guitar 1 was exactly what I wanted. I'd had a guitar for years and finally accepted that "teaching myself" was never going to happen. Janet teaches in a way that gets you HOOKED! I loved that I could play a song I knew after just one class and learning three chords. Tuesday nights became my favorite part of the week and I can't wait to continue with the other classes!"
"I loved Janet Feld's Guitar 1 class. When I started the class, I didn't know anything about playing the guitar, and as promised, by the end I was surprised at how much I had learned in only 6 weeks. Moreover, the class was genuinely fun. I'm looking forward to taking Guitar 2 in the fall."
"Guitar lessons with Janet Feld have made me realize that I not only can learn how to play the guitar, but that I can learn anything at any stage of my life!"
"My guitar classes at Passim have been a God-send. It's my 'me-time,' it's revitalizing, it breaks up my week. I even bring my guitar to work sometimes to practice during meal breaks, and it is so uplifting. This is the best thing I've done for myself in years. Plus? My teacher is so great, I've learned so much from her outlook on learning in general. After working with her, I feel like I can do anything." -- Jess Deshayes
"I learned so much in that class [Americana Ensemble], met some good people, and had a great time to boot...sorry to see it end..." -- John Greiner-Ferris
"If you have even a passing interest in learning guitar, seek out this woman and be ROCKED! I stumbled into her class almost unintentionally and couldn't have found a better atmosphere to start the journey into musicianship. Janet is incredibly joyful and innately musical, with an energy that makes you genuinely excited to learn and to create. She is completely approachable and conscientiously inclusive, a natural instructor as well as a damned good songwriter. To learn from Janet is to reaffirm the all-around goodness of music-making - go forth and get hooked!" -- Jacqueline Van Meter
“Janet's guitar classes are empowering, skillfull & fun! You are guaranteed to leave playing the guitar well and with a smile in your heart!” -- Deb Bermudes
"Hanneke's classes are the BEST!!!!!"
"Hanneke and Emerald are amazing musicians and teachers. It is a real privilege to get a chance to learn from the best (and funnest!)."
"The Passim School of Music has always brought in great teachers who really know their stuff in terms of the style they teach and the way they teach it. I've taken several of Hanneke Cassel's fiddle classes now and she's great at helping students to learn and understand the unique style of Scottish fiddling, even with a range of playing levels in each class."
"Lloyd Thayer was thorough and sensitive in his approach to playing the harmonica. He was able to demonstrate the techniques in an understanble manner while providing a wonderful listening experience through his own and others playing. I now have the basic tools to practice and advance as well as a much better appreciation of the harmonica from campfire to blues to modern usage. I now listen much more critically with a better recognition of the harmonica in music." -- Tristram Blake
