After taking guitar lessons for 6 months with Alan, I feel I have a good enough feel for his style…read moreto share a review. I would classify myself (when I started) as an beginner/intermediate electric guitar player looking to take it up a notch in terms of soloing and improv. I had taken lessons from elsewhere 8 years prior but hadn't done much since then. I didn't want to take lessons from a guitar shop and get a random teacher because I'd had mixed results with those places. After some internet searching, Alan's bio popped up and he seemed interesting. He's got a background in both Classical and electric guitar, and he went to collage specifically to learn how to teach. My 6 months learning from Alan have been great. Some key points to bring up: * He's got a plan: Previous instructors didn't seem like they put any thought into my progression but rather would say things like "What do you want to work on today". I need structure and a plan to make progress. * He's big on form and fundamentals: Previous instructors didn't correct little form issues when I was playing. Alan points them out and had me correct my form from day 1. Those fixes have helped me long term. Other instructors didn't stress form very much. * He's big on having you read music: If you're learning electric guitar, other teachers will likely just have you read tab. While Alan certainly uses plenty of tab, you are encouraged to read music as well. This is a major plus. * He's ok with dabbling in multiple styles: When I started, I was just playing electric guitar/blues. Then I showed an interest in classical guitar and we spent some time at the end of our lessons playing his nylon stringed classical guitar. I liked it so much I'm exclusively playing classical music. I really appreciated the exposure to multiple styles. * He makes it fun and low pressure: I have a job, kids and limited time. I'm not going to progress as fast as a teenager. He mixes form drills and lessons with songs to keep it fresh while advancing my knowledge. And when I slack off a week I never leave feeling like he was disappointed. His prices are very standard for private lessons, but I feel like you get more than your money's worth. His studio at his house is comfortable and private for those that are self conscious. Can't recommend enough.

I felt obligated to go to lessons when I couldn't, and he gave me the message that I "need to be more consistent". I went every two weeks, however when school began, and I couldn't go to my lessons anymore my guitar material songs on Google Drive were deleted in "retaliation".

If I were asked to describe the Loveland Academy of Music in just one word, it would be an…read moreimpossible feat! There are just too many words to describe how fantastic this place is. Awesome, wonderful, excellent and amazing are words that barely scratch the surface. My youngest son and I have been taking lessons here for going on four months now. He takes singing lessons, and I take singing and piano lesson. We both always look forward to Tuesday night at 6 p.m. when we get to take our lessons. Every time we walk in, we're greeted with smiles and the staff is genuinely happy to see us. The owner also takes the time to say hi! My son is a special needs student and his teacher is absolutely fantastic with him. His singing teacher is also my singing teacher and her ability to cater her teachings to our individual needs is unparalleled. Not to mention, the class is downright fun. My piano lesson immediately follows the singing lesson, and my teacher is amazing. I took piano when I was a kid (I wish I never would've quit), and my instructor is able to bring out a lot of what I learned when I was younger. She's amazing. For all you kids out there taking music lessons, please don't stop. I promise, you'll regret it. I'm a 39 year old man. So, if you're an adult like me and think it's too late to take on an instrument or learn to sing; I urge you to kick that negativity to the curb and come sign up at the Loveland Academy of Music. I promise, you won't regret it. Their staff is amazing with both kids and adults!
