Paul was very accomodating, friendly and clearly knew his subject matter. I am giving Paul 5 stars on the basis on having a personable. flexible and intuitive approach to an initial introduction to a return to playing an instrument. I would recommend Paul to anyone wanting to pick up music lessons whatever their goals may be.
