Here is Anna Koval one of Paul Thompson’s students. She has been studying with Paul for 8 months. Paul loves working with his student on the blues and as you can see this student is doing great! All of our instructors are committed to helping their students learn the music they love as well as the fundamentals, theory, proper technique, etc. We believe working on music that interests the student is vital in helping the student to practice, and it is the reason many of us wanted to learn music in the first place.

If you’d like more information or would like to sign up for lessons with Paul you can use do use our contact page or give us a call at 360-701-3401.
