    I signed my son Casey up for both guitar and drum lessons with John and WOW! I've been so impressed by John's tertiary teachings and rhythmic remedies. Fun, engaging, and virtuosic, John Werthmann has all the components of an outstanding teacher, and has no doubt provided a great platform for Casey to learn!

    John is an amazing talent! But more importantly his character is what stands out most with me. John is both understanding and very humble, and these qualities is what makes him so accessible and easy to get along and work with. I had the prevliage to work with him on a few of my tracks and only hope that I get the chance again to work with him in the near future.
