Testimonials from Students
"Karl is the best classical guitar teacher Columbus, Ohio has to offer. His ability to perceive the minutiae of technical issues as well as fine details of phrasing and musicality in his students' playing simply is more than one could expect of typical music-shop instruction. Time spent in Karl's studio is the equivalent of money well spent."Eugene B.
"His tone and interpretation mark Karl as the best classical guitarist in the area [Columbus, Ohio]. His vast knowledge of guitar history, repertoire and technique, in tandem with his ability to channel it to his students effectively and efficiently, make Karl the area's best classical guitar instructor."

"I found that [Karl] can identify and deal with technical problems in people with bad habits, such as myself, so that my sound gets ever more satisfying, and has in addition an ability to illuminate the notes with his fine musical sense. Students can learn from his experience with and openness to different forms of musical expression and his view that fulfillment is more important than competition. His recent introduction of group lessons is an example of his exploratory approach."

"Nothing is more important to an aspiring musician than his/her "musical ear," i.e., listening skills. Through study with Karl, I've observed a significant improvement in my "musical ear" and also am able to recognize future development of those skills."
