Testimonial Invitation

From my first encounter with JC De Luna, I began to witness the systematic construction of student, musician, leader and positive impact upon those with whom he came in contact. These qualities have continued to enrich his successful entrance into the field professional teaching. In other words; he gets it. If you want a winning team, you definitely want him on your side. JC’s outstanding abilities include; teaching, solo performance, ensemble building and leading, and development of family and community interest in the institution he represents. What more can I say?" Yours Very truly,

The touch of JC De Luna is one that cannot be heard with any other artist. Some are satisfied with an performer who lets their instrument sing, but Mr. De Luna is an artist who sings through his instrument. Whether it’s an established classic or a modern masterpiece, the guitar playing of Mr. De Luna allows you to see the very soul of the music."

— Jean-Charles Gooden

I have known Mr. De Luna for many years. He has a deep feeling and amazing technique in his playning. I really like playing his guitar arrangements that show his great understanding and musicianship. I have asked him to be my personal guitar teacher." Best wishes!

J.C. has been fortunate to study music with some of the world’s best guitar teachers: Kate Lewis, Bob Mayeur, Steve Thachuk, and Marc Teicholz. Consequently, he passes this expertise to his students with enthusiasm, dedication and patience. He gets great results in a short period of time. (I know, because I am one of his older students.) Unlike many teachers, J.C. doesn’t teach “one size fits all,” but takes into account the different abilities of each student. This is a more personal approach. Most important, he is in touch with the real world and teaches both ethnic and popular music to which students can relate. Finally, J. C. is an unmatched performer at the highest level who always draws the audience into his musical vision when he performs. You get a lot of value in one package!"

I have known JC DeLuna for two years and I have been at our school for 50 years. He has a special gift for teaching music and our students have learned to love music and have learned how to appreciate many type of instruments. Mr. De Luna is one of a kind." Best,

I have been teaching at Mary Law for 18 years now, and in those years, music teachers come and go. When Mr. JC De Luna joined our school, we found a gem and I have not met a musician as talented as he is. I was so amazed as to the variety of instruments the students learned to play. I usually sit in in his class and play guitar with his students. He introduced the boomwhackers and it was a phenomenon. It was amazing how the children absorbed all of these, only because of his versatility, impeccable knowledge and superb talents and abilities. They learned a lot from him. I could tell that students, parents and co workers love Mr. JC. He is the best!" Sincerely,

— Julita J. Dunham Mary Law Private School Oxnard, CA

I am a big fan of JC De Luna’s fingerstyle guitar. He is an exceptional musician and his original fingerstyle arrangement of popular songs are very beautiful and well played, producing clear and crisp notes. I am currently learning from his sheet music and look forward to seeing more."

JC De Luna is truly an extra ordinary musician and a music teacher. I have the opportunity to know and observe his excellent work habits as a music teacher. Mr. De Luna’s class is always alive and he has a thorough knowledge of his subject matter. He can engage all his students to participate in his lessons even the littlest member of our school who are three years old. JC De Luna is the type of teacher who will help us pursue a quality instructional program and will assist in the fulfillment of our mission. JC De Luna will be a good addition to your list of quality teachers if given a chance to pursue his career."

My daughter has been taking guitar lessons with JC for the past few months, and I have to say, it’s been an amazing experience for her. JC is not only an incredibly talented musician but also a patient and engaging teacher who has helped my daughter improve her playing in a short amount of time. What I love about JC is his ability to connect with my daughter and make the lessons fun and enjoyable for her. He always comes prepared with new pieces and exercises that challenge her but also build her confidence and skills. Overall, I highly recommend JC to anyone looking for a fantastic guitar teacher for their child or themselves. My daughter has learned so much and looks forward to every lesson with JC!"

We love having him in our school because he always gives his best to students. My friends and I are always happy to see him because he brings so much motivation and excitement in our music class, school band and choir. We always learn a lot from him, not only with music instruments but also about being professional and working hard to have a wonderful performance as solo and group. In fact, our parents are very impressed with our performances. We are so blessed to have him as our teacher.

I HAVE LISTENED TO SEVERAL ARRANGEMENTS OF SONGS BY JC DE LUNA ON YOU-TUBE. WHEN MY NIECE ASKED ME TO PLAY ONE OF HIS ARRANGEMENTS FOR HER WEDDING I REACHED OUT TO MR. DE LUNA FOR ASSISTANCE. IT WAS THROUGH OUR CORRESPONDENCE THAT I FELT HIS PROFESSIONALISM, GENEROSITY, POSITIVITY AND DESIRE TO HELP MAKE MY NIECES WEDDING DAY COMPLETE. I AM SO MOVED BY JC DE LUNA’S SELFLESS GENEROSITY THAT IT HAS INSPIRED ME TO REFLECT ON MY OWN TEACHING PRACTICES AS WELL AS MY APPROACH TO SHARING MY GIFTS WITH OTHERS.
THANK YOU JC FOR SHARING YOUR TIME, TALENT AND MUSIC WITH ME AND FOR ADDING DEPTH TO MY CREATIVE SPIRIT.
