Peaceland Guitar Lessons

I've been going to Dennis for bass lessons for 4 years. My son also takes guitar lessons. We've learned a lot from Dennis. He's a great teacher who knows multiple instruments. If he doesn't know something, he won't make up the answer. My son and I played 2 recitals which was a lot of fun and work. I highly recommend in person lessons to help avoid or break any bad habits. I haven't had any lessons with James but he's also very friendly and knowledgeable.

Had our first lesson today. Joseph was really great, patient and accommodating, and extremely knowledgeable. He explained everything in a way that's fun and easy to understand. He also had some good advice on purchasing and using musical equipment. That being said, be prepared to walk into a small space, definitely no frills compared to other music studios we've gone to, which explains the great prices for lessons.

John is awesome! Every since my daughter started taking guitar lessons with John, she has improved soooo much! He is very patient, crazy good at playing guitar, and most important a great instructor. He makes it easy for a young child to understand all the basics, doesn't jump from song to song every lesson, he makes sure student is comfortable and understands each lesson before moving onto next. I would strongly recommend John for anyone who is seriously considering playing a guitar, he is excellent!

James is a fantastic, multi-talented music instructor - from basic chords and scales, to advanced techniques and songwriting - and he's one of the most versatile musicians that I've ever seen! He also introduced me to musicians and genres that I would have never discovered on my own. I'm extremely grateful to have been a student of his.

John has taught our girls for over a year in piano, guitar and now also drums. He is the most patient, skilled, fun and genuine teacher. We want our children to grow to love music as they learn to play, and that's exactly what happens at Peaceland Music.

I'm learning bass from Dennis. I've had 2 lessons and I like what I'm learning. Dennis is a patient teacher who simplifies the learning. We also like a lot of the same music, so that's a big plus. These are my first music lessons. I'll probably upgrade to 5 stars after a few more lessons.

Saw their sign for guitar lessons driving up Crenshaw Blvd. by my work. Was going over to Australia to play guitar with friend's band opening for a international touring act at very large venues. Friend sent over disc with songs for me to learn. Since they are in Australia I needed to learn all the songs on my own and be able to hit the ground ready to play them live.

I am primarily a drummer so this was a big challenge. I called James and he said he could help. He was able to schedule me on my lunch hour weekly until I flew out to Melbourne. He has a great system and easily dissects songs. By the time I left I knew the songs and was ready to play them live. He has a great teaching method, a great attitude, and is able to work with any abilities.

It was so helpful I continued lessons when I got back. He has since helped me with classical guitar which I studied at my local junior college, and also on drum styles I would like to refine. Best instructor I have ever had hands down. Affordable and worth much more then he charges.

As an industry professional, I went to Peaceland to make sure that I didn't slip on my guitar skills and knowledge. Working with John Whitehead, I was able to actually grow my repertoire, keeping me sharp for whatever I was doing! He is very good at tailoring his teaching style to the student, making sure to impart his vast skills in a way that the learner gets and keeps it fun, so students of all ages enjoy their lessons and want to keep learning and practicing! Great place to learn a great hobby, if you're thinking of going somewhere else, don't!

John is the best teacher I've had. He is great at working with people of varying skill levels and learning speeds. It's been fun learning the piano again with him.

James is a kind, gentle, humble soul who's got the guitar chops like nobody's business. While you can spend years hitting your head against the wall trying to learn on your own or through YouTube "lessons, " James quietly, effectively zeroes in your weaknesses (many you didn't know you had) and strengthens the foundation of your playing rather than shallow fixes. Great guy, loves guitar and loves teaching to all ages, including middle-aged adults like myself. Go see him!

They are always busy and never available. ive trying to get a hold of them for 2 months. i give up. im sure there good just never available. so you shouldnt plan on going any time soon
