What Our Customers Say
Karlus is a great musician and teacher but also a really nice guy. He gave my daughter ukulele and guitar lessons and she not only excelled in her playing but enjoyed and looked forward to her lessons every week. I highly recommend Karlus as a teacher. If I had an extra thumb I’d give him 3 thumbs up
Karlus is such a positive influence. He is an incredibly talented musician and wonderful human being. I feel fortunate that my daughter had the chance to take piano lessons from such an accomplished professional musician who has great energy and a calm, chill style. My daughter always looked forward to her lessons. Karlus would often play guitar to accompany the beginner piano. The lesson plan was achievable for my daughter as a beginner and Karlus always had positive reinforcements like fun stickers to mark progress. He even had a certificate and rose for her when she played her recital for us as parents. Highly recommend Karlus as a music teacher, professional singer-songwriter, and as an upbeat person!
Karlus is an amazing teacher. He truly cares and wants you to become the best you can be. He’s talented, cool, patient, and fun. Look no further for the best music teacher. Thanks Karlus!
Karlus is great! I'm recently retired and started taking lessons. Karlus is patient, knowledgeable and advises me on how to get to where I want to go. Highly recommended!
An amazing music teacher! So glad my child is being taught how to sing properly and play the guitar.
Had the pleasure to enjoy Karlus Trapp at the New Port Richey library. He is a treasure of musical talent and black history music that has influenced much of what we listen to today. I look forward to hearing more from this young gifted talented man.
Karlus Trapp is such an amazing artist, very charming and also entertaining. Amazing guitar player and instructor. You have to go see him whenever his performing.
So impressed with Karlus, he is a phenomenal musician and made the night 2 years in a row for us!!!! Can't wait to hear him play again!! His range of music and ability to keep the crowd engaged is second to none!
My experience working with Karlus Trapp on my first CD The Almost Naked Truth was pure delight. As a producer, Karlus Trapp really, really listens to the work and intuitively knows just the right musical touch to add ot to subtract. His sense of rhythm is innate and contagious. Karlis is also a melodic player and a deep thinker He is a sensual, talented musician. He is generous and kind co-creative that anyone would benefit from working with. And that laugh! Bonus points!!
karlus Trapp brings his consummate musicianship to producing, arranging, engineering, mixing and offering his own amazing guitar work - acoustic, electric, slide, bass. Backup vocals, percussions, drum programming. Hard to find something this brilliant musician/producer CAN'T do. His arrangment and production for "The Alabama Line," perfectly matched the mood, the lyrics, the music of my song. And the best part, it has touched so many people. Thank you, Karlus!
Karl is a great music teacher, my daughter started piano lessons with him at 6 years old, he is beyond patient with her and makes it a lot of fun. Would highly recommend him!
My son has been taking music lessons with Mr Karlus Trapp for a long time & he loves it! Karlus is super patient and kind- he keeps my son's passion for music going by experimenting with various instruments and music genres.
Not only have I recommended Karlus to teach all ages from beginner to professional, I personally continue to take lessons with him on performance, technique, scales, chord theory and improvising solos. Karlus can teach all levels for guitar students. Karlus can also work on vocals over chord structures as well.
He is a great teacher. I learned so much so far and will continue to go to him to learn more. I'm learning to play songs and learning to play, the class is always fun!
