Testimonials Kent is one of the best in the biz. He is well versed in all forms of music, from Classical to Jazz. I have known Kent for over 20 years and would highly recommend him for any playing or teaching situation. Kent would be an asset to any program or musical situation he is involved with. Dustin Barber Guitarist for the Al Green Orchestra Memphis,TN
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! Brian Rowland P.A. Jacksonville,FL
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. Gene Johnson Jacksonville,FL EJOHN1957@comcast.net
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! Kay B. Day Jacksonville,FL

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. Juan C. Luis-Jorge M.D. Jacksonville,FL
Kent Smedley is a phenomenal teacher and mentor. Not only is he great at giving his students the tools to succeed in their craft, but he helps them achieve a complete understanding of music and entices their will to learn. Both of my kids, Alex Marie and Michael, have taken lessons from Kent for many years, and they couldn't have found and explored their talent without him. Check out their music at lawlesshearts.com and hear the proof for yourself. Monique Pappas Jacksonville,FL
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 as a 40 year old! You're never too old to start lessons. Thanks Kent! Matt Russell Music Director at Christian Family Chapel Jacksonville,FL
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! Marcia Howard Jacksonville,FL
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. Rhonda Murray Jacksonville,FL
