“Lorin did a fantastic job teaching me and my girlfriend. We are at different levels, but he was able to make the lessons work for both of us at the same time! He never made either of us feel badly about our playing and was always positive and encouraging. He gave me several tips that came in very handy and provided us with some great songs to work on.”
“Lorin is a fantastic instructor. He genuinely cares for his students and wants to see them achieve their goals, no matter the size. Music is the heart of each lesson, but is not the only takeaway. Through ukulele courses, I have gained knowledge of not only the instrument, and the power behind music as a whole, I have also gained a better understanding of myself and what I am capable of.”
“Epic sound and production!”
“I’ve been teaching myself guitar for almost a year now, I never wanted to spend crazy amounts for lessons that I would have to leave the house for. Lorin has done a fantastic job with starting small and allowing me to grow. I’ve learned more about how to put together songs, writing lyrics and creating a new project from scratch. If you are new or even if you know the basics, Lorin’s techniques will honestly help you find your sound and your pace for learning any of his specialized teaching routines. Thank you so much Lorin, I’m very satisfied with the lessons.”
“Lorin helped me hone my songwriting skills immensely, by not only teaching but collaborating with me when necessary. It was refreshing to find someone who put his teachings into practical learning, where I could see the outcomes become apparent. He’s a nice dude, and is experienced equally across his fields. He guided me to making intelligent choices for equipment purchases, both instruments and pro audio gear. We first met while he was living in New York, and boy has he traveled since. I think living in so many different states, and being that well journeyed has given him good cultural depth to his work. Check out some of his own collabs with singers and musicians from all over the world...that really says it all.”
“Excellent teacher, knows his stuff and works well with others. Worked with him on a few projects, excellent results!”
“I had a great experience learning songwriting with Lorin. I would highly recommend his teaching services to anybody eager to learn music.”
“I wanted to learn how to play a Gypsy King song for my wife at our wedding. Lorin taught me fairly quickly, he made it fun and really easy to learn. Then I figured I would learn the basics so I can just jam out to songs or just mess around with my guitar. Now I can strum some early 90's or old school alternative songs. It seems alot easier to learn songs now. Super nice guy and very smart/laid back. Definitely worth the money.”
“Responsible, does what he says and is one of the most knowledgeable teachers and mentors out there. Super dedicated to his craft and I would definitely recommend him!!!! Top Notch! Thank you Lorin for helping further my career!”
“Thank you so much Lorin for the remote classes!! You were amazing and I learned more from you than I did from my in-person teacher here in town. I was very impressed with your thoughtfulness, communication and teaching skills. I'm still positevly processing the inspiration, knowledge, and insight I received from you-- it truly was a valuable experience.”
“I chose to work with Lorin to assist me in creating a music album. I never could’ve done it without him. The album definitely exceeded my expectations. He worked with each member of the band to bring out their talent and creativity, recording dozens of individual tracks for each song. Then, he spent months mixing and producing the music until it was perfect, facilitating all channels of record production and foreseeing the project through completion and distribution. He helped us write and create some amazing music for children.
Lorin’s dedication is what made all of this possible. He’s a very talented musician and, as I learned in our countless e-mail correspondences, a talented writer as well. More important than that, he’s a trustworthy, intelligent and thoughtful human being.”
“Lorin is a wonderful teacher because of his broad array of knowledge in many different forms. He taught my daughter & I sound engineering & also helped my daughter with vocals. Although he never worked with anyone with autism before, he easily adjusted his methods of teaching to work with my 10 year old. He motivates without pressuring and he's comfortable to be around.”
“When I moved to the Big Island of Hawaii, I found Lorin to continue my guitar lessons. I found him to be very personable and knowledgeable. He always knew what I was trying to say, and taught me in a way that I could understand. He brought me to the next level of guitar playing, and showed me some tricks and tools to use on my own. My favorite is 'Elephants And Donkeys Grow Big Ears'. If Lorin is in your area, I highly recommend him, even if for a short time. I thoroughly enjoyed playing guitar with him and hearing him sing.”
“My son Jake took guitar lessons with Lorin and it was fantastic! Lorin immediately sensed Jake's personality and path, and tailored the teaching approach accordingly. Jake looked forward to going to each and every lesson and learned a lot! Would highly recommend!”
“My daughter really wanted to try to play the guitar but our family had no experience with it. We found Lorin and arranged for lessons. Lorin was fun, patient, understanding and kind. My daughter looked forward to lessons, had fun and learned a lot in the process. It was a great experience and Lorin is a fun and knowledgeable teacher. I would definitely recommend him for all levels of instruction.”
“I had the opportunity to study beginning guitar with Lorin for 6 weeks; and totally felt inspired, motivated, and encouraged with the lessons and by him. My experience of Lorin is-- he is very authentic, kind, caring, talented and open to assist and encourage; this leads one to feel motivated to practice and to succeed.”
“Lorin was a great teacher and I enjoyed learning from him for 2 years. He is an excellent guitar teacher, and he also introduced and taught me many aspects of music production and engineering. He is a fun and intelligent person who is easy to get along with. I highly recommend him for anything related to music.”
“Working with Lorin Drexler has been a very educational experience. I have been very satisfied with all the projects that we have worked on together. I found Lorin to be professional, knowledgeable and very easy to work with. I look forward to many future projects with him when he gets back to Arizona.”
“I worked with Lorin for a little over a year and I can tell you from experience that he is an absolutely wonderful, accomplished musician and guitar instructor, not to mention that he also helped me get my recording, sound system, mixer board and stomp peddles up and running for me. I totally enjoyed working with him and I was able to gain a lot of new skills and insights that helped me improve my playing and gave me a better understanding of voice and mic work as well as amplifying my guitar and recording (albeit my singing was a bit hard on the ears) many of the songs I have learned.
I highly recommend Lorin as a guitar instructor, voice coach, sound engineer and or just a "jammin' buddy". "Ain't nothin' he can't play or figure out how to teach you to play"!!! Sad that he moved from Arizona to Hawaii but wish him all the best in his future musical and personal endeavors.”
