I've been going to Brian for 3 years for beginning guitar instruction. His patience and enthusiasm…read morehave been the reasons I've stuck with it. He has taught me to enjoy the process and the fun of learning guitar. My years as a Navy instructor pilot enable me to recognize someone who has the gift of instruction. Brian is blessed with this in so many ways. If you're considering picking up a guitar, do yourself a favor and take some lessons with this guy! He is worth every penny and will make it more fun and enjoyable along the way!

We chose Brian for his effortless teaching style, making learning so fun that one can't help but develop, grow and advance in playing the guitar. My daughter is now playing full songs of all her favorite bands and my husband and I are blown away at how fast she is learning to play. Brian is truly one of the best guitar instructors with outstanding results! I highly recommend him.

An outstanding Academy that took me from not knowing anything about DJing and in only a few lessons…read morehas me mixing, using effects and blending genres on my own. I am already able to try out more advanced techniques, and am blown away by my progress in such little time. Rex is incredibly talented and knows both the nuts and bolts of actual mixing and also the beat and blending theory that goes along with it. Incredible one on one instruction, and easily worth the price. Discosapien Academy makes DJing extremely accessible, so if you are even remotely interested in learning some mixing, or are an advanced DJ, I would absolutely recommend this Academy!

As a parent to an 11 year old; I had absolutely no idea about DJ'ing or even EDM music, and I was…read moreway out of my element on my sons taste of music. So I did what every supportive parent does; I Goggled everything from "kids raves to DJ lessons" and only came up with a few small selection of contacts for the Denver area. The weeks of searching was very disappointing, as I tried to make multiple attempts at calling (and even trying to stop by some places during their open business hours), not a single place was even interested in talking to me when I said that I have a very interested 11 year old that wants to learn DJ'ing and music production. This was until I called and talked to Rex with Discosapien Academy. First - Rex actually answered the phone and took the time to talk to me; while he listened to all of ramblings about my son and his music interests. Rex was genuinely excited about wanting us to come and meet with him; so that we could get a feel for what his lessons could offer. When meeting with Rex and seeing my sons reaction to this whole new world; I knew we were in the right place. It's now been almost 4 months, and my son has completely stepped up his game. Rex has taken my sons musical interests to a whole new level; where he talks about music production and how the different parts of a song need to be properly arranged to sound proper with the different pitch and sound adjustment; it's pretty mind blowing to here all of this from a now 12 year old. Rex is so patient and very calm in his teaching style. I love just sitting and listening from the outside hearing how Rex teaches and explains the lessons; while applying a hands on learning technique which is followed up by such positive encouragement. My son leaves every lesson even more excited and passionate about creating his own music and sound. I know this was a lengthy review; but as a parent that came into this new musical world with absolutely no idea where to turn; I hope that this review and post will offer other parents a quicker resource for you and your child. If you want to ever call and talk more about this review; I am happy to elaborate more. So I will let Rex know that he can surely share my contact information. Good luck! Bobby S.

After hearing Reuben Gonzales play guitar/sing at a party recently, and knowing he was giving…read morelessons to one of the children of our host, I spoke with him about lessons. He was playing such a great mix of songs on his acoustic, it really motivated me to get off my *ss and play again. We spoke briefly, he's a great guy and I felt like it would be a fun experience. I'd maybe be classified as 'intermediate' skill level, I know most chord forms and read music albeit verrry slowly these days. I've had my first (hour) lesson, it was so fun and I already learned a lot. I had some 'bad' habits he corrected me on, started teaching me basic guitar music theory which I was totally ignorant of (also fun, this is not 'work') and taught me a couple great songs to practice some new chord forms. He uses an ipad plus writes things out as he teaches, and you get all of that from him after the lesson. He emails you the songs with the chord forms for guitar to practice. (I've now had 4 lessons, still fun every time, learning a lot of new chords and songs). Inexpensive too, compared to others I looked at, which surprised me as he's a really great teacher - not just a guy who plays great and 'tries' to be a teacher. He's a natural. HIGHLY recommend, he does half or one hour sessions here at LaunchPad in Golden. Also look for him playing at the El Rancho near Evergreen (weekends often), Holiday Bar in Morrison or the Buffalo Rose in Golden. Great to hire for private parties, which we'll be doing again soon as well.

The guys at LaunchPad are doing a fantastic job teaching guitar and piano for two of our kids…read more They can't wait to go to their lesson each week.

Kevin does a great job working with my daughter. I play guitar as well but am a terrible teacher…read more I've been excited to see my daughter learn. He approached it in a way that worked perfectly for her age and ability while letting her pick the songs she wanted to learn and adapted them to make them easier to play. She has taken to writing songs, has learned to sing and play at the same time, and learned notes and some basic music theory on the way. He has offered jam band sessions where kids get together to play (frequency has been impacted by covid) and recently started an online guitar games that she loves. I very much recommend music lessons from Kevin.

Shawn has a great way with young horn students - patient and instructive while keeping things fun and challenging too.
