Kent is not only a very
talented player, his teaching
skills are exceptional. His
years of experience have
taught him how to get the
most out of his students,
without making them feel
frustrated or condescended to.
I studied Classical Guitar with
Kent for 2 years, and my
daughter took lessons with
him for a year- during that
time we both improved greatly!

We had a great experience
with Kent as our son's guitar
instructor. Under Kent's
guidance Kyle learned a great
deal of style, technique and
theory for both Classical and
Rock Guitar. We found Kent
to be encouraging and
supportive, as well as a great
example for musicians. Kyle
earned high grades in the
guitar program at Douglas
Anderson School of the Arts,
and Kent certainly deserves
the credit for this! We highly
recommend Kent for guitar
instruction. Please feel free to
contact me for additional
information or references.

When our daughter began
studying with Kent in middle
school she had already taken
lessons from several other
instructors, but was frustrated
with her lack of progress.
From the first day of lessons
with Kent-and this is not and
exaggeration- we noticed
immediate improvement. By
high school, under Kent's
tutelage, she became the first
non-music major at Douglas
Anderson School of the Arts
to have a song selected for
the school's annual CD.
Our daughter,Rebecca Day,
continued working on her
music and now works full-time
as a singer, songwriter, and
performer in the
Jacksonville,FL area.
I can honestly say that without
Kent, our daughter's musical
journey would likely not have
had the outcome she has
enjoyed.
Any aspiring musician who is
willing to work hard, and
fortunate enough to find an
instructor as gifted as Kent,
can realize a dream! I can't
say enough good things about
him as a teacher or as a
person, He is the very best!

I have been studying guitar
with Kent for 3 years now, and
my sons have been studying
with him you over 5 years. I
was apprehensive at first,
being that I had no previous
musical background and
convinced that I was a lost
cause.
With the encouragement of my
sons I decided to give it a try,
after having read that learning
a musical instrument is roughly
the mental equivalent of
exercise for the body. I
decided to try learning the
Guitar to stimulate my brain
and to relieve stress.
Since I have been taking
Guitar lessons with Kent I have:
1) Learned to read and play
music from sheet music and
tablature
2)Learned to play everything
from the rock music of Jimi
Hendrix and Santana to the
classical music of Bach and
Carcassi
3)And I am thoroughly
enjoying my Guitar studies,
looking forward to each week's
lesson.
If Kent can teach me, he can
teach anyone!! Kent is a man
of outstanding character, and
offers an excellent and patient
learning atmosphere. He has
played as a Classical Guitar
Soloist and with a Quartet, with
Heavy Metal Bands, as an
Acoustic Guitar Singer and
Songwriter, and in many other
styles; and it shows in the
versatility of his instructional
ability.

I am grateful for Kent!
He has been a
patient teacher over
the years. His calm,
clear instruction has
allowed me to
continue to grow in
my guitar skills, even

Our son has taken
guitar lessons form
Kent for several
years. In that time he
has maintained his
focus enthusiasm
and love for guitar,
and we attribute our
sons' motivation to
Kent. Kent works with
our son to challenge
him to go beyond his
own expectations.
While our son loves
the guitar, it takes a
special instructor to
help the student grow
and be challenged.
We highly
recommend Kent
Smedley!

Kent Smedley taught
my son, Rob, guitar
for almost 9 years
beginning just before
he turned eight years
old. Kent is not only
an excellent musician
and fine teacher, but
a wonderful person.
He earns the
respect, trust,
admiration and
affection of his
students with his
ability to play any
kind of music: his
knowledge, patience
and ability to convey
technique provide
motivation for his
students to learn and
look forward to: and
his caring and
understanding
nature. I believe his
students feel
comfortable with him,
so they are able to
relax and enjoy the
learning experience,
because Kent has
the ability to put them
at ease. That is so
important when
learning anything
new. At age 23, my
son now plays in a
band while attending
college. We have
remained good
friends with Kent and
I would highly
recommend him for
anyone looking for a
quality Guitar
Instructor.
