Professional Violinist, Guitarist, Composer and Educator with a Masters of Music and more than 30 years experience. I absolutely love to help people reach their goals and learn more than they ever ima

John is a truly dedicated professional with an unbelievable wealth of knowledge and experience in all aspects of music making. I’ve never met anyone with such true passion for his craft.

John is a great teacher. Very professional yet open, patient and even funny.
His music experience is top notch. I highly recommend him.

First and foremost, John is a fantastic guy who has shed loads of patience and always has a smile on his face. Not only is he vastly experienced, but also a genuinely great person. I fully recommended getting in touch with him if you're looking for more than just a-n-other teacher.

Mr. Maida not only taught me violin skills but also how to be patient and stay dedicated. I’ve studied under him for a few years now, he has shaped and molded me into a great violin player. He holds his students to a very high standard that does nothing short of setting them up for success in the music world.

I find John to be a fantastic teacher. I had always wanted to play the violin, but was always quite intimidated by the idea of learning the intricacies as a complete beginner. John really put my mind at ease during our first lesson, and has been really patient with me since. His knowledge of music and his ability to explain things in an easy to understand way are unrivalled. I have absolutely no problems in recommending John!

He’s very nice, thorough and patient. I love my lessons!

John is an incredibly dedicated instructor and professional. His vast musical experience and love for music make him an excellent teacher, who always bring out the best in each of his students. Learning music with John is fun and challenging. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough.
