Piano with Paul W.

Good lesson! we reviewed how to construct a melody from a chord progression.

Mr. Paul is very patient and encouraging. He is also very specific in what is being taught since he is looking to form the proper structure to learn the ultimately learn the instrument correctly. Additionally, he is just downright a pleasant person to engage with and puts you at ease from the onset. Looking forward to more lessons with him (and doing my homework!)

I have been attending Mr. Paul's classes for months. There are several of us who comes back to his classes because he teaches from experience. I have had pitch issues that were corrected properly because of his teachings and guidance. My voice has improved a lot over the months. His open mics are chill and would let students express themselves through singing. His other classes are totally different if you would like to train your ears and understand music theory then the introduction to Jazz and Tonal classes are for you. He’s very honest and will let you know how to match notes correctly. If you’re flat or sharp, he’ll let you know. That’s what a teacher is supposed to be doing. To guide and teach you the right way. Mr. Paul is also very subtle with feedback and his classes are so fun. And yes, there’s lots of laughter cause he’s just a joyous person. I’d rather have a teacher who makes the class fun than a rather dry and boring class. Anyway, those students who kept learning under him have drastically improved their voices and ears (including me). Attending 3 classes won’t make you the next Ariana Grande and you won’t see the benefit if you don’t participate at all. You must attend at least a couple months of continuous classes with him, and you’ll then understand how beneficial his classes are. I appreciate Mr. Paul’s kindness and generosity. He’s dedicating his time to teach students for free or at a discount and this is something that I am thankful for.
