My experience at Jalopy School of Music was a positive one. The class size was small(3 students) and that felt perfect for a beginner group. We had a great instructor, Kyle M. I still have a long way to go on my guitar journey and I felt like this was a good 1st step for me.

I loved this class! Chris was a great teacher and the Zoom format ended up working fairly well for a music class. Definitely recommend!
