John Leahy is a highly talented, kind, and fun music instructor and I am excited for Peace Valley Studios and this next chapter for John. John loves music and gives his heart and soul sharing his musical knowledge and teaching others. John takes the time to understands his customers goals and to successfully them accomplish them.

I know Peace Valley Studios will be successful because John is full of talent, patience, kindness, and brings it all together with a high degree of customer service. John truly serves his customers, and his dedication, communication and talent are top notch, a rarity with businesses today!

If you have not yet reached out to John, I highly recommend him and Peace Valley Studios.

We found John on a recommendation from a friend whose 12 year old daughter was also taking guitar lessons. He’s very patient with kids, enthusiastic about what he teaches, and makes sure the kids get a day in what they learn too. Now we have our 9 year old son taking Drum lessons with Max! Great people to learn music from. Highly recommend

I am one in a long line of people excited to see John take on this venture. He has taught my, now, 10-year old son for over a year. My son doesn’t always stick with things; he has not only stuck with guitar but also grown so much in his craft. John is encouraging and interested in what his students are motivated by. John has also broadened my son’s interest in music genres. He’s already planning some jam sessions, and we have many years of learning ahead! If you want to take on a new challenge or sign up a son or daughter, this will be a great space to learn and grow!

John started teaching my son the electric guitar about 3 years ago and then started teaching my daughter guitar about a year later. Johns lessons were tailored to meet both my children’s interests and ability. My son enjoyed music from obscure artists and John was able to listen to the music and come up with the chords/notes to teach the song and keep my son interested in learning. He really took the time to listen to both kids and be interested in them as people.

Additionally, about a year ago, John started to work with a client of mine in song writing. This client is a non-speaking autistic adult. John jumped right in with enthusiasm and worked so well with this client.

He’s a great guy and a great teacher!

John has been teaching my daughter for over a year with acoustic and electric guitar. I am so proud of the growth with her talent that has been supported by John. He encourages student selected songs and genres creating an interactive student led dynamic. He is also very acccomodating with scheduling for lessons.
