"We were so lucky to find Josh to teach music to our kids. As drum teacher, guitar teacher, and piano teacher, he wore a number of hats for us, and wore each with tremendous panache. Josh is not only a talented musician, he has a natural intuition about what makes people tick and how best to reach them that makes him an extraordinary teacher. His energy and his love of music are contagious— the kids were always eager to see him, eager to play with and for him, and eager to please him. He blends the dryer but necessary skills with so much fun music-making that the kids don’t even realize they are learning the fundamentals along with the glitz. Most of all, Josh cares deeply and goes above and beyond to make kids love music and to give them a sense of accomplishment."

"I have been studying with Joshua Smith for over a year and I believe that his inspiration has been the reason why I decided to make music the most important part of my life... After leaving a session with Josh I felt inspired to practice almost everyday of the week... Since studying with Josh I have grown musically from a very base level player to a player who can play with confidence... I've begun to take a leading role in my school's music department. For all these reasons I have recommended Josh... and I will continue to do so to anyone who wants to learn more about music and  needs the kind of inspiration I have gotten from him."

"Hi, my name is Luciana, I am originally from Brazil and have always been passionate about music... I am 40 and some years old and never thought that at this age I would be able to play anything!  Joshua, helped me understand how to play and in a short period of time I became really confident. And once I learned my instrument I felt so free which gave me a feeling of accomplishment... Joshua Smith is the best, an incredible human being and an admirable saxophone player. Thank you so much for all the inspiration you brought into my life."
