TESTIMONIALS
"We had a great experience having lessons in our home with Lee. It was incredibly convenient and saved so much time in a busy household. Our kids had great lessons and were comfortable learning in their own environment. I would totally recommend in-home Lessons With Lee!"

"I have known Lee Heerspink for over a decade. During this time I have come to admire him not only as a musician but also as a person. Lee is a great guitarist and musical partner. This is not surprising for a well educated and experienced musician such as Mr. Heerspink. However, and more importantly, Lee is a patient, honest and caring human being. These three qualities, I believe, are of the utmost importance in the field of education."
Michael Drost— Professor of Jazz Guitar, Grand Valley State University
"Lee was one of the greatest teachers I've had and was my first guitar instructor. He provided me with a strong foundation on guitar but made everything easy to understand and enjoyable at the same time. I learned a wide variety of styles from him, as well as the technical and theoretical side. My favorite part about Lee's instructing is that he realizes it is important for his students to have fun, and this really opened up my playing and confidence as a young musician. I would definitely return to Lee for lessons in a heartbeat!"

"It has been my pleasure to know Lee Heerspink for many years. During this time, I have watched Lee’s musical abilities grow exponentially. Lee has a comprehensive knowledge of music, having earned a Masters in Jazz Performance. He has great guitar chops in a wide range of styles. In addition to being rock solid on his instrument, Lee is a great vocalist as well. These qualities make him a very confident and versatile performer in any number of musical situations. Not only is Lee extremely talented, he is also a very genuine, kind person who is able to bring out the best in others. As a guitar instructor, Lee is patient and full of encouragement. I enthusiastically recommend Lee to anyone in search of a skilled performer or a knowledgeable teacher."
Dave Purnell — 30-Year Career Guitar Instructor
“I took guitar lessons from Lee Heerspink in Holland, Michigan for over two years. I preferred taking lessons from Lee over the music stores because I felt I received more one on one attention. I have a learning disability and we would spend extra time on certain things I was having trouble picking up. I highly recommend anyone looking to learn how to play the guitar to reach out to Lee Heerspink.”

"I’ve known Lee since he was a student of mine at Holland High School. He was a significant member of my top singing group, The Vocal Dimensions, as well as holding membership in the high school orchestra. Lee was a hard-working, friendly, and fun student who was a joy to have in class and was loved by all. Although his talent was obvious in high school, Lee’s musical ability seemed to explode as he continued playing in the US Air Force and at the collegiate level where he is now working on his doctorate in music. I’m truly excited that Lee is back in the area and is starting up his own private studio. I would enthusiastically recommend him for private study for students of all ages. If you’re looking for private lessons, my advice would be to contact Lee soon before his schedule becomes full!"
