Both my sons take drum lessons from Lael. He was recommended to us by a local music teacher. They absolutely love it. They have learned so much and look forward to their lesson each week. Lael makes it fun and engaging. I can’t say enough good things about what he gives to the experience of learning. I would highly recommend him.

I've been a student for a few years now and my guitar playing has improved tremendously. Before lessons, I touched my guitar once in a blue moon. Now I get restless if I go a few days without playing. I have learned a lot about the fretboard and music theory, which has given me the confidence to not only learn more songs, but try things beyond what's written in the tabs, as well as learn songs by ear and try out improvising and soloing. It's clear that Ryan is passionate about teaching guitar, and I appreciate that he encourages me to step out of my comfort zone. I recommend taking lessons if you want to hold yourself accountable and gain a deeper understanding of guitar.

It is always a relief to find the things I want to do within a reasonable distance from my home, and one of the several locations for lessons with Mr Weinberg is only 15 minutes away. He is a wonderful musician and is very intuitive on which aspects I need more clear instruction on, and which come more easily for me. This may sound like an obvious part of teaching, but it is not a given with all music instructors. Having that extra attention has gotten me off to a very solid start with no time wasted during the lessons. I'm thankful to have found Mr Weinberg, he is a gem in the music world. Give him a try, I promise you will be pleased with the lessons, and with the outcome.

My two sons took piano and guitar lessons from Mobile Music Academy over a period of eight years. During this time the teachers cultivated interest and willingness to work in my students. We took lessons this long because the boys wanted to keep doing so which told me that this was a good use of our resources. That the teacher would come to us made it so much easier to manage. Neither boy is a concert pianist or the like now, but both know that to succeed one needs to keep on practising. This is the gift of MMA to us. There was nothing in this arrangement that did not work for us.

I love the environment here and I always have such an amazing experience working with my coach. I would recommended them to anybody looking for great vocal lessons, no matter your experience!

Denny's approach to guitar lessons is very effective and it was an incredible learning experience for me. Unlike my former music teachers, Denny's lessons had their foundations in music theory. Instead of learning different songs I may have wanted to play, Denny's lessons taught me how to play guitar more freely and confidently, knowing how to translate what I wanted to hear to the frets. He was very professional, friendly, encouraging, and truly cared about seeing me improve. I always left feeling excited to get home and practice. I would recommend him to anyone who truly wants to learn to play guitar.
