I have been taking lessons at Abbey Music for many years. Back in my mid-40's, I was looking for a new hobby, and without any past musical experience purchased an acoustic guitar and started taking lessons. Over the years, Abbey Music Studio has taught me the basic fundamentals of music and I have since learned to play acoustic and bass guitar. I really like the approach of learning a bit and then being able to record a song or two to measure your progress. Paul also instilled enough confidence in me to perform in front of a live audience at local open jams (something I never dreamed I would be able to do). Today, I enjoy playing and singing in a band and continue to take lessons to learn new and useful information every week! Thank you Abbey Music Studio...I wish I would have started when I was younger! read more

My 8 year old daughter is learning how to play guitar, piano and improve her vocal skills. She's been taking lessons at Abbey Music for about a year now. Her teacher, Paul, makes learning music fun and I'm impressed by how quickly she's learning. What I really appreciate about Paul's teaching style is once he senses she's caught on to something he challenges her more. I also like how versatile the lessons are in that we aren't locked into any one instrument for weeks on end. If my daughter feels like playing guitar one week and piano the next her teacher is flexible. Of course she always enjoys finishing each lesson singing one or two of her favorite songs. read more

My 8 year-old daughter has been taking introductory piano lessons with Paul at Abbey Music for a few months now, and I can honestly say that I couldn't be happier. It is no easy feat to learn an instrument, especially at the beginning, and there is no doubt that Paul is an excellent teacher of students at this stage: patient, clearly knowledgeable, flexible and kind. What a pleasure it is to watch my daughter improve, day by day, key by key. Learning music is a magical voyage, to be certain, and I am so glad that it is Paul who is helping her along that path. read more

I decided to learn the harmonica even though I had no music background. Paul started me with basic fundamentals, which I needed. He then led me through the various stages as I progressed. He always stresses the fundamentals yet encourages trying new things and testing new levels for growth. He encourages improvisations in addition to learning new songs. He also provides music theory to the extent you desire or need it. Paul is obviously an experienced teacher. I certainly recommend him to others. read more

I have been taking my six year old granddaughter to Paul for piano and guitar lessons for about six months. She looks forward to it every week. Paul's approach for such a young child is gentle and encouraging. Lots of focus on counting and rhythm. We both like it that he teaches both instruments. Only down side is that there are no opportunities for recitals. Nana Marilynne, Milwaukee, WI read more
