I have been playing stringed instruments for about 20+ years. I'm self taught and mediocre at best,…read morebut I love to play and find myself "stuck" some times and need some help pushing through challenges that I find. To resolve this, I take lessons from a local instructor for a few weeks. As I have said, I've been doing this for 20+ years. I have also lived in many different cities and states, so I have had a lot of different instructors. With all of that said, I have to say that Chet Makowski is my absolute favorite instructor. He got what I was doing and why. He he showed me that music theory is not as mysterious as so many instructors claim. After four Saturdays, I was able to go back to my band and have my improvement recognized by the other guys. I was able to stay better in key and improvise more smoothly. Chet understands that as an adult I have responsibilities and commitments and sometimes I just don't have time to practice. He doesn't judge, and doesn't admonish. Granted, with the style of classes we had together, there really weren't rigid practice assignments that could be defined. I would recommend Chet very highly. The school is just as comfortable and welcoming. It makes for a great learning environment.

These are true Professionals who have made learning FUN!…read more My son has been a student of Chet for many years..He has learned to play and most important, always looks forward to his next lesson. Chet keeps the learning process fun, my son has learned the chords, theory, etc. that make a good guitarist, but unlike my music education, they would immediately apply the knowledge to a song, something current that he could relate too..This is so very different from going up and down scales and just playing meaningless chords, as was done "back in the day" and probably is still the norm in many places..All that info has stuck with my son and he (as are we) is delighted that he can actually play along with something that he may have on his portable player- from my observation, this technique seems to keep the boredom out of music school and keeps the interest and attention focused..and practicing is no longer dull! My son has also attended their summer music camp, which he really enjoyed!!. All I can say is that my son will be going to college next year, he will take his guitar with him, and he will probably enjoy playing for himself and others. Playing music is something one is able to do for most of their lifetime, it's a great outlet and balance from the day-to-day "stuff". It has had a really positive affect on our son!!!! We thank Chet profusely for this!! As far as I know, various strings, keyboards and drums are offered. There may be other types of instruments as well as voice, as well.. Obviously, we have only the highest recommendation for Harcum Music School!!!

My two favorite things are the price and convenience - the pricing is perfect for the amazing service you receive and he travels directly to your house so you don't have to worry about any travel whatsoever. He teaches you at whatever pace you want and will honor special requests for specific songs you may want to learn. He makes sure that you fully understand concepts before moving on and does an incredible job of breaking down music theory concepts to an easily digestible form for a beginner. I would recommend his services to anyone looking to learn an instrument.

Veronica makes each person feel confident and encourages him or her to delve deeper into their artistic side--we all have one but some of us need a little more encouragement to show it off! Veronica is the best and we loved her! We will surely be visiting again in the future!!

Mrs Sara, Liz, Caitlin, Mrs Susman, Mrs brin and so many more go over and beyond for the families of Chesterbrook Academy. Safety at Chesterbook is clearly a top priority for the children. I wholeheartedly recommend Chester brook Academy. I also couldn't be happier with the growth and care the children received here. I've seen the curriculum and attention provided at every level of the center, and I've been impressed every step of the way. The kids literally run into the center each day, excited to see their teachers and friends. The staff also does an amazing job preparing the children for Kindergarten. I truly see the staff as an extension of the family. I am so thankful to know them all.

She started with zero experience on a guitar and is now occasionally playing live gigs with Rick in restaurants and the like. Rick and his process have been fabulous for our daughter's growth not only on the guitar but as a person. When we started she would have been mortified to get up in front of a restaurant full of people and do anything. Rick has helped her get over that anxiety and find her inner confidence. We would most definitely recommend Rick to anyone who is looking to start learning to play the guitar or anyone who is looking to take their skills to the next level. Rick is a truly genuine and caring person who is wonderful to work with.
