Paul is such a great teacher. My son took lessons with him for guitar and eventually wanted to learn beat production on the computer. Paul was familiar with all of it from instruments to software and hardware. He’s the one stop shop for learning all things music

Paul was a great instructor. He is extremely friendly and patient with all of his students. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone who has been contemplating putting their children in music lessons or even those that want to take lessons for themselves. You will not be displeased!!!

Paul is clearly incredibly passionate when it comes to anything music! My child often gets easily distracted and is pretty hard on herself when she can’t figure things out right away but Paul made the experience so much fun for her! He’s incredibly patient, he’s encouraging and he has a great sense of humor to pull her back in when she starts to feel frustrated. She’s improved so much since she started working with Paul and I highly recommend his services!
