Some people teach music because they're artists that need money. Paul is an artist that needs to teach, and who truly loves doing it. He is a great teacher, very dedicated, with lots of passion for what he does. I highly recommend him and look forward to learning from him more and more !

I've been learning guitar through Paul for a few weeks now, and honestly he has me hooked on playing! He's very realistic with you and gives you an actual practice plan for you to do when you're home. Your progress will definitely improve as long as you practice outside of the classes! He's very passionate about what he does and will always put your goals in mind when he's making curriculum for you! As someone who was very nervous about getting a teacher, Paul is super friendly and honestly deserves his own business one day. I'll be going to Paul for years to come I hope!

Paul drafts his lesson's around what you want to learn. Whether its intricate music theory, song design, or just general questions about tone.. he can prepare a lesson around what will help you achieve what you want. Would absolutely recommend Paul to anyone looking for a teacher!

I started my guitar experience later in life than I wish I did. I was 66 when I contacted Paul via the internet regarding lessons. i had been playing around trying utube sites for about 2 years. First time I spoke to Paul he simply asked, what i wanted to accomplish. I told him I just want to be able to play some tunes with my friends. I have been getting Guitarlessons from Paul now for about 15 months. to put it simply, I am extremely happy. I have exceeded my personal expectations, and it was fun doing it. Paul worked on a specific aspect each week and then he builds on it the following lesson. All of a sudden you have learned tools that you build on. Example, he taught me some basics of 12 bar blues and I can now just jam with that as I please. I strongly recommend Paul, a very enjoyable experience.
