Paul does a great job assessing where the student is and pushing them to the next level. Paul is teaching my 11 yr old son how to play bass guitar. He is helping my son translate his prior piano knowledge to a new instrument in a way that is fun and highly effective. Paul is very encouraging and engaging, and the lessons are perfectly paced to maintain my son's interest for a full hour. I can't imagine a better fit for my son and I highly recommend him!
