Artist, Teacher, Mentor to Artists Who Teach

Since the 1980s I’ve been performing, writing and teaching music for people of all ages. Over the decades I’ve experienced that the tribal saying from Zimbabwe is true:

If you can walk, you can dance. If you can talk, you can sing.

Time after time, people who think they have no natural talent, are too busy or tone deaf, learn how to play the guitar, sing their favorite songs and learn to collaborate with other players. At my concerts, audience members help me create beautiful harmonies even when they think they can’t.

And by the way, the only people who are tone deaf, are deaf.

I know you can learn how to play the guitar, but you don’t have to take my word for it.

HERE'S WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT JANET:

“You really are extraordinary. The funny thing is.... even though you are technically teaching the playing of an instrument... I think your gift really is one of healing souls.”

Marie Cardillo

“Janet Feld is an outstanding teacher with an immense knowledge of her craft as well as an extensive performing career. Moreover, Janet possesses an upbeat personality and generous spirit that encourages even the most musically inept individuals to actually pick up and really play the guitar."

Ellen Guarente

Student at The Passim School of Music

“Janet is a highly skilled guitarist as well as a kind and compassionate teacher. She'll challenge you and you'll be better for it.”

Jon Ims

Singer/Songwriter

“A guitar lesson with Janet is like a guitar lesson that just goes on giving. To say I LOVE my lessons with Janet would be a major understatement. And the icing on the cake is that it's not even just a lesson - though that stands on its own as amazing. What happens for every lesson is that I get the music for that day; I get a video or an audio of the song we're working on; and then I get a lesson! After my actual lesson with Janet, I get to go back as often as I like (and for me, it takes a lot to learn a new strum; it's kinda hard to teach an old dog new tricks but with Janet I can!) and practice along with her. I even get to sing with her. Pretty cool. LOVE it.”

"Ms. Feld, you're the only teacher in the whole school who doesn't have bad breath."

Janet has a very good approach to teaching guitar. After our first class, I could tell she is a life-long teacher, and is truly passionate about playing the guitar and spreading her knowledge to others. Janet's 10-minute a day practice regimen is very manageable, yet very effective.

Her first class was so simple and really de-mystified the guitar. I had literally no idea what I was doing. Especially during the first few classes, Janet was aware and was sure to address all the common discouraging roadblocks beginners face.

She was overwhelmingly positive and encouraging and continuously reminding everyone in class that, of course, you are not going to be a maestro immediately, but like anything, it is not rocket science, and you can learn anything you put your mind to.

Janet's 'strum torture' technique is genius. You'll see when you get there.
