It takes a great deal to be a successful mentor of talented young musicians. In addition to providing first-class technical and musical instruction, a mentor must nurture, inspire, guide, and be a students biggest cheer leader and first concert promoter. People like this are rare and in my tours around the world I have had the privilege of meeting only a few. My favorite is San Francisco's Scott Cmiel!
- Antigoni Goni, Royal Conservatory of Brussels
Scott Cmiel has established himself as one of the most effective and inspirational guitar instructors in the United States.
- William Kanengiser, University of Southern California
I'm awestruck by the joy, dedication and high level of musical and technical expertise of Scott’s students. Their performances are consistently imbued with a wonderful sense of accomplishment beyond their years. Scott Cmiel is one of the world's foremost guitar pedagogues. I only wish I could study with him!
