Valencia School of Music

My son has been taking guitar lessons with Jose Valencia for 4 years now. He is now 13 years old, but started lessons with him when he was in 4^th grade. He was originally recommended to us by a friend. Jose is wonderful: an amazing teacher, a fantastic person, and I cannot tell you how much my son is enjoying the guitar. It has become a real passion of his. Jose has just the right way of guiding him, pushing him in an encouraging way. He is outstanding. My son started off with the acoustic guitar and has been also playing the electric guitar for the past couple of years. Today they had their recital at Crossroads. This was my son’s 4^th recital. All I can say is wow! I was so impressed with the recital, and my son played with a band, performing the song, Zombie, by the Cranberries. They were fantastic, and my son was incredible. Of course I am so proud of him, and I hand a great deal of the credit to Jose, for his wonderful teaching over the years. My older son also began taking lessons with Jose, enjoying it immensely. They have two different personalities, and Jose is excellent with them both! Jose’s wife is also amazing. I could not recommend Valencia School of Music any more highly.

I am a 30 year old adult and was interested in taking up the bass. I was referred to Valencia Music by a friend.
I’ve heard the phrase «you can’t teach an old dog new tricks» so I was expecting to struggle through this but I am learning so much so fast and having a great time. We are going through exercises that are helping me sound better and I am being taught music that I like.
The Valencia’s are very nice and I am surprised how fast the lessons go. I am very glad a referred to such a great teacher!
