My 7 year old daughter takes piano/voice lessons and I, age 37 take drum lessons. My daughter instantly connected with her instructor, who took the time to get to know my daughter’s long-term goals for the instrument. The instructor had a unique and interesting way of teaching where the notes are on the piano. My daughter learned all of the notes by sight before she was even ½ way through her first class and was able to read a song chord chart and play her first song by the fifth class. Voice lessons are every other week and are also a favorite for my daughter. She gets to sing songs she loves that are in her range. I have been taking one hour drum kit lessons weekly there for 18months and have learned so much that I will probably be continuing my lessons until my instructor teaches me everything he knows! The instructors here teach me based on my goals and skill level and developed a program just for me based on that. Learning an instrument as an adult can be intimidating but not here! Mistakes are seen as tools to help you learn and grow. About The Jam Center in general: It is a family run business filled with instructors and owners who genuinely love to be there sharing their knowledge with all of us. They play the instrument right along with us and have a general sense of fun without compromising the learning of exceptional technique. They don’t have a typical recital program, but they create actual bands that get together and practice in order to perform for the public in a local venue. I am not sure there are any students who would NOT benefit from playing in a band with other musicians! This a really unique and valuable experience! Playing in the Advanced Rock Band this last year has been a great experience and I’ve seen myself and all of my band mates grow and improve so much! They have online registration and sign up, which is super convenient and great customer service. My 4 year old son will be their next student and he wants to learn the electric guitar. I have also recommended The Jam Center to friends and will continue to do so.

Teachers here are calm and understanding, allowing you to learn through playing along. With three comfortable in-home classrooms, musical knowledge has room to grow in all kinds of directions!

This was my six year old daughter’s first experience with music lessons and I was a bit nervous, remembering the drudgery of lessons as a child, but Mario is an incredibly gifted teacher! After a couple months she is still begging to come to lessons twice a day instead of once a week as we drive home. Last week she said, «he has the fairy dust and golden wand to make the text book come alive!» Needless to say, I highly recommend the jam center. Both personal and professional, I feel like the sky is the limit for learning here and it’s a great place for beginners too.

The Jam Center is an awesome place to take music lessons. I’m amazed at how quickly my three children learned to play the drums. The instructors are very positive and encouraging. My kids leave their lessons excited to go home and show off what new skill they learned. I’ve referred several friends to The Jam Center and each of them are thrilled. If you want to have an amazing experience for yourself or your children while taking music lessons then The Jam Center is the place for you.

Have you dreamed of playing music well enough to jam with others? I have! But after taking lessons with a few other teachers, I never was able to play guitar like I wanted to. Since Mario became my teacher, he has inspired me to keep practicing and trying to reach higher levels of guitar playing. I keep improving and reaching for the next skill that needs mastery – now I’m finally reaching my goals! My son also takes drums at The Jam Center and loves how positive and encouraging his drum teacher always is with him. If you’re looking for a great place for you or your children to learn and grow, check out the Jam Center!

My two sons have been participating in the jam center for several years now. Not only have they matured as musicians, but they have matured as collaborating artists under the tutelage of Mario and his staff. They always leave happier than when they go in as the atmosphere is extremely positive and encouraging. And the musicianship of the staff is outstanding. My sons’ talent has increased to the point that they can participate in bands at school and for fun and be valuable assets to the group. Prices and schedules are reasonable, and you definitely derive value from the investment!

My son loves taking classes at the Jam Center. Mario is amazing and my son is learning so much. The cost is reasonable for what you get and the attitude is very professional and yet friendly. All my neighbors have remarked on how improved my son’s drumming skills are :)
