Reviews for West Palm Beach classical guitar lessons
Recent success stories from people in the West Palm Beach area.

I’ve been a student of Adam’s for several years. His knowledge of guitar, and music in general, is astonishing. The man could probably play anything on guitar. Yet he is incredibly down to earth, humble, accommodating, and patient. Under his tutelage, I’ve seen my own ability on the instrument increase tremendously. There’s always more to learn, and Adam presents it so that you are excited to learn it.

I am extremely pleased wth my sons results. After his sessions with Dr. Dubler, he is a much more confident young man! He had taken the test twice and did not perform well at all. We just received his results and were amazed at his success. My son increased reading by over 160 points and math by 100 points. We are thrilled. I can't say enough about the services received and the life long effects it will have on my son . Thanks for everything!
