My son started playing Jack Johnson on acoustic at age 9 at Bones Jones Music and now 7 years of lessons later, he is playing Metallica and Muse on electric guitar. Billy continues to meet my son's music interests as they have evolved, keeping him interested, challenged and motivated. The whole community is welcoming and encouraging of any student at any level. If you love rock music from all eras, this is the place to learn guitar! I have to admit that I was skeptical at first about the group lesson model because everyone else teaches private guitar lessons. But the group class model really works! Billy is a super skilled teacher and you will love playing with other folks in classes. I highly recommend Bones Jones Music!

I've been taking guitar lessons with Bones Jones Music for almost two years now and it's been a great experience. I started with the traditional lessons and transitioned into the band class lessons in which we perform at various venues around the area. I've played at the Rockville Town Center stage and World of Beer a few times already. I love the structure of the classes, it's very motivating to play with a whole band, and my guitar skills have improved greatly since starting. I would highly recommend anyone who is interested in music to join!

Highly recommend BonesJones Music in Rockville! I began 6 months ago, had no musical background or instruction previously, and thought it was time I finally learned to play the guitar (I'm 65!). Billy's method of instruction is unique, comfortable, and I'm very pleased with my progress...Rock and Roll, baby!!!

Bones Jones Music is a GREAT place to learn guitar! I joined a year ago and have been truly amazed at how much my playing has improved. Billy's enthusiasm, innovative teaching style and the group format make for a fun and relaxed atmosphere to learn. And the BJM bands definitely rock!!

BJM is a first-class music studio. Billy, a graduate of the prestigious Berklee College of Music, is an excellent instructor as is his staff of experienced professionals. BJM has also become an important part of my social order; my class mates and band mates have become good friends. I can highly recommend BJM to any aspiring musician of any level.

Excellent teacher with lots of experience. Teaches a diverse range of music and provides helpful tips for everything from technique, to style, and even instrument maintenance!

Can I give more than 5 stars? I cannot recommend Billy and Bones Jones Music highly enough. I am 60+ years old, and have been trying to learn to play guitar for years. I've had multiple teachers, but none clicked. Then I found Billy, and after less than a year, I have learned more than in the prior decade. Billy is a consummate professional guitarist, and knows how to tailor instruction to the student's interests and ability. He is patient and encouraging, but also fun. I have learned music theory, chord inversions, etc., but also how to play 3-chord Ramones songs. I'm playing in a band, and having a blast. If you've ever wanted to play guitar, do yourself a favor and get in touch with Billy.

I started lessons with Billy at Bones Jones Music a few months ago after having played pretty low level guitar off and on for a long time. I'm really enjoying the lessons and playing with other students. For me, lessons provide a great mix of technique, songs and a little theory. And Billy is a great resource for questions and suggestions (technique, equipment, etc.).

My son and I are in Rock Band classes and are having a great time while improving our skills. My son is growing as a musician and I'm having fun while being motivated to practice more than ever before! We both think it's incredibly rewarding to play shows with our bandmates and share our music!

Billy is a great teacher who takes his teaching skill just as seriously as his instrumental skills. The company offer multiple types of classes at relatively small sizes. Being in a class with 1 or 2 other students help you learn quickly, and doesn't sacrifice any personal instruction from the teacher.

BJM has done wonders for not only my guitar playing, but also for my growth as a well-versed musician. I have been taught mostly by the lead instructor, Billy, for nearly a year and a half at this point, and he has worked closely with me to benefit each area of my technique and playing style. I now play with one of the summer rock bands, and even during COVID, I have managed to improve my skills to new heights!

I can't say enough about our wonderful experience with Bones Jones. My high school aged son decided he wanted guitar lessons having never played any instruments before. He had two lessons in person and then Covid came onto the scene. Billy and his team quickly pivoted to a zoom format with added flexibility and instruction time. The format of the fun style of learning kept my son engaged, and more-so his connection with music and his new-found friends at Bones Jones helped him get through a lonely and difficult time of social distancing and virtual learning. I am so thankful that he had this in his life and will continue to have the lifelong gift of being able to play an instrument. He has become much more confident as well and has so much fun learning with Bones Jones.

Can't say enough good things about Bones Jones Music. As an adult who never touched a guitar until 4 years ago, I was hesitant. Billy, Jeff, and the rest of the gang are so patient and welcoming. They listen to the needs of their students and keep coming up with fun new classes. Highly recommend!
