  • Beginning Guitar

    My experience at Jalopy School of Music was a positive one. The class size was small(3 students) and that felt perfect for a beginner group. We had a great instructor, Kyle M. I still have a long way to go on my guitar journey and I felt like this was a good 1st step for me.

    It was great – Kyle was a fantastic instructor: he made the instrument approachable, adapted the course to the students' aptitudes, and inspired us to learn and improve in a very friendly manner. I'd highly recommend it!

    Bruce was great. He kept the class going at a smooth pace while frequently checking in to make sure everyone understood what we were doing and answer everyone’s questions. I learned a lot while having a great time. I’m looking forward to Bruce’s next class!

    The course was small and intimate and the teacher was very patient. Jalopy is a wonderful neighborhood music school that is truly unique. I'd love to explore music of a different genre, but I think that comes later :)
