★★★★★Sarah TrudgeonMy 9-year-old had the best time at BeatNest summer camp! He had fun, learned so much and felt challenged, and made new friends. It's a warm and welcoming space and community.
★★★★★Dana GruberBeat Nest stage ready camp was awesome for my kids (ages 12 and 9). Geoffrey cultivated the nicest and most supportive environment for learning, and I was so impressed with the concert at the end!
★★★★★Joseph BaldwinHighly recommend!! Geoffrey does a great job bringing out the curiosity and creativity of my six-year-old autistic son. He keeps it fun and laid back, and it’s a joy to watch as his father! Thanks, Geoffrey!
★★★★★Ashley Von RichthofenBrought my son for the first of many times and it was such a great experience! He has been wanting to make his own music this is such a great outlet for kids. I wish I had something like this at their age! Geoffrey is patient and such a great teacher!! It was a priceless moment as someone who loves music and to connect with my almost 11 yo. Can’t wait for more sessions!!
★★★★★Kimberly KidderGeoffrey of BeatNest is a fantastic music teacher for our upper elementary school age child! Not only does he build a strong rapport with children, but lessons with Geoffrey are engaging and educational. There is room for our child's music exploration while they learn new skills and reviewing those already introduced. The lesson flies by and our child is eager to go back each week and expand upon what they have already learned. Geoffrey of BeatNest makes music technology accessible and fun!
