Level Up Music School

I first took lessons ~12 years ago, but only for 6 months because I didn't practice and I didn't take it seriously. Not sticking with it is one of my biggest regrets.Seven months ago I discovered the Level Up Music School and I had my intro lesson with Jack. It was exactly what I was looking for. Ever since then, I've been taking lessons with Shing Man (he is the BEST) and I have been having most amazing time. I only wish that I started sooner. I look forward to my lesson every week and Shing Man is so incredible to work with. He tailors each lesson to my interest and does a fantastic job of explaining the theory behind what I'm playing, answering all of my questions, and pushing me to improve beyond what I think I'm capable of. During my first lesson, Shing Man had me set three goals for myself (short, medium, and long-term). I wasn't sure how achievable these would be, but my lessons are tailored in a way that has helped me make significant progress towards these goals. I love that I am able to discuss my music aspirations with him and also find mutual interests in artists. Having that connection is so important to me.I am now 25 years old. Starting lessons at this stage can be daunting - especially seeing others around me, older and younger, and how much further along they are. But everyone starts somewhere, and that was reminded to me and I was made to feel welcomed and have had non-stop encouragement from day 1. While I don't have lessons with Jack directly, he goes out of his way to say hi to me, check in with me, and compliment me on the progress that I'm making. This really matters to me because it's important for me to take lessons with people who truly care. Being able to really connect with Jack and Shing Man over our passion for music is such a special thing. Everyone who knows me hears about how much I have been loving playing guitar again and how much I enjoy these lessons.I know that I still have a long way to get to where I want to be, but I also know that Shing Man and Jack will continue to support me and push me to be the best guitarist I can be.11/10. Cannot recommend Level Up Music School enough.
