JP's Guitar Lessons

With this teacher, I went from guitar zero to guitar hero.
I was playing a song within a half hour of my first lesson.
I love that I choose the songs to learn and we go at my pace.
JP is very patient and skilled.
I've been a student since 2001.

My son has been taking lessons from JP for over three years. I could not be more pleased with a music teacher. His knowledge of guitar and music in general has been instrumental in pushing my son to realize his own potential. I highly recommend JP Pakalenka if you're looking for a guitar teacher for yourself or your child.

JP has been such an amazing teacher. I have been taking weekly lessons from him for over 3 years. I knew how to play some stuff on guitar but when I met JP I got so much better. I would recommend him over anyone if you’re looking to become a rockstar or even just someone great at guitar.

I've been taking guitar lessons from JP for over 2 years and love it! He's passionate about teaching the basics and expanding them into whatever style of music you're interested in. I always marvel at his skill when I bring him a new song to learn. Not only is he an accomplished player himself, he is patient and skilled in teaching others to love and learn this beautiful, fun instrument!

I have made great progress in the year I have been working with JP. He has a great beginners curriculum. I was fortunate to find someone who cares about my progress. The music shop he teaches out of is a hidden gem too. It is literally a stringed instrument museum. If you are in the area it is worth just checking out. Gordon is the owner and he couldn't be more welcoming.
