Makes every Guitar lesson fun!

Noel at Upbeat Music Academy is the type of teacher you always hope to find, but rarely do. He’s extremely knowledgeable, patient, and makes every guitar lesson fun. He also really cares about your learning, like one time when we were talking about a certain practice and we couldn’t find it online to print off, he spent time after the lesson to write it all out by hand for me. He’s a great guy.

I have thoroughly enjoyed my guitar lessons with him and imagine I’ll be popping in to learn new things for a long time to come.

Lora taught piano to both of my sons when they were young. She was a kind teacher but also firm and drew out the best in them. They both still speak fondly of her many years later. I would highly recommend Lora as a music teacher!

Lora is one of the best teachers you could ever have! I received lessons from Lora for 8 years growing up and she was always accommodating, positive and extremely kind.

I never thought I could ever play the piano!

I always LOVED and wanted to play piano but after years of being a drummer I never thought I could ever play the piano . Lora helped me translate my ideas , my song writing into melodic pieces, never did I imagine A sausage fingered rock drummer would ever even attempt the piano . Thank You Laura for giving me the “ Hell yeah ! Watch Me “

I play better and I am enjoying playing!
