I've had the pleasure of starting my new hobby of learning how to play the guitar at age 46 with the patience and guidance of an amazing teacher. His versatile way of teaching has allowed me enjoy playing the guitar because he is able to Immerse himself in my culture and explore music that motivate me to continue learning. Would recommend Ian 100%

My 8 year old daughter has been receiving lessons from Ian for about 8 months now. After the 6th month she was able to play a song all on her own! I was so shocked, amazed, and proud. Ian has become a part of my family in such a short amount of time, and I am happy that we found him. Very professional and an all around good teacher.

What a great experience! Ian (Mr. Farrington to our nephew) is amazing! He’s flexible, friendly, and a wonderful teacher! He’s especially great with young children who are learning a new instrument. Highly recommended! ??????

Ian is a great guitar teacher. We were fortunate to come across his name from local references. He is extremely patient and has a calm demeaner while teaching. Very thorough and willing to work with busy schedules!

We have already had 3 guitar lessons with Ian and each class our son was very inspired and exciting. Ian approaches each lesson very professionally to involve our kid and encourage him to fall in love with music and guitar. Despite we have classes at our home, Ian brings all necessary equipment with him. He is very organized and sends us the necessary materials before each lesson. He is also using different musical programs and gave us the tutorial how to work in these programs between classes (and it was absolutely free of charge!). Ian is very open and responsive to all our questions. His lessons are very creative and allow our son to make a great progress and develop even after 3 classes, Ian is very patient and explains everything in very clear way. Our son is waiting for the next class and enjoys every class. We are very happy with Ian and hope that our son will start playing guitar very soon!

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IAN! He is a fantastic instructor! He taught my son guitar 11 years ago and when I decided to pick up guitar this summer I sought him out because of how he worked with my son. He is a genuinely great guy and has a very positive approach to teaching guitar. He is patient and has fun with his students during the lessons. He customizes his lessons to what the student wants to focus on all while continuing to build on the student's progress in core guitar lessons. Most importantly, Ian's approach makes the process of learning guitar fun.

I have had classes with Ian for maybe almost a year at this point. A really great teacher! He has everything you'd need in a teacher: knowledgeable, professional, honest, and hard working to give the best for his students. During COVID, he was quickly able to turn his in-person lessons to online lessons without no impact to my learning and growth in guitar. I would highly recommend him to anyone. One thing that stands out is his organization skills for every lesson!

Ian is fantastic! He has been teaching my two boys (ages 4 & 6) guitar for the last few months and they are progressing quickly. More importantly, they enjoy it and look forward to seeing Ian (even when via Zoom) so they can show off their new guitar skills--as well as challenge him to play Rush! We keep it fun.Ian is also extremely organized, sending emails with songs, tablature, etc. in advance, and he does a great job leveraging technology. He mixes up the lessons with ear training, note reading, etc. to keep it engaging as well as keep the kids learning on all fronts. He's extremely responsive and will customize the lessons to the needs of the kid. All of it works extremely well.

I have been taking lessons from Ian Farrington for several years now and he is very knowledgeable, courteous and accommodating in all respects. He is pleasure to work with and he is very attentive to the music selections we practice on.. I have recommended him previously to others and would hesitate to do so again.

I have been taking intermediate guitar lessons from Ian Farrington at his Farrington School of Music for upwards of 6 months now. I have greatly improved my playing abilities and have learned well more in 6 months than I did when I spent 4 years trying to teach myself guitar. Ian takes a well-balanced approach between both music theory instruction and song playing so that his students gain the necessary knowledge and perspective to be able to both freestyle/solo play as well as play covers of the songs in which his students are most interested. Ian can conduct his lessons either in person with proper social distancing and safety precautions, or virtually via Zoom, which he has gotten down to a science in recent months as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic. I highly recommend the Farrington School of Music for all skill levels.

I have been taking classes with Ian for a few weeks now, and it has been nothing short of amazing. Amazing in that when i pick up the guitar i can see and more importantly, hear the progress that I've made. My first impression aligned with what i read from these other reviews, he is extremely organized and dedicated in making sure you maximize your time and potential with him!

Ian is a great teacher and extremely nice guy. I’m a 40 year old Dad who casually plays the piano but recently had some time and wanted to learn the guitar. Ian has been an outstanding teacher and I’ve enjoyed our lessons. I look forward to learning a lot more and having fun!
