Kale Good Guitar Studio

I was lucky enough to observe Kale during a trial class for my 3.5 year old son. Kale clearly has a deep understanding of child psychology. He was able to get a very impulsive, easily distracted toddler to follow directions and have a great time doing it. He was kind, understanding, and very tolerant. I believe the benefits of his teaching can be infinite. Counting can become fun, patience a virtue, and for others, like my son, who struggle with speech, this can give them another method of communication and a confidence of self that is priceless. This is a serious commitment of time and money though. I think I miscalculated the significance of such an investment. Make sure you are ready to commit to weekly classes for at least 3 months. He has individual classes and group classes biweekly in west philly that are important as well. The Suzuki method seems fantastic for small children.

Kale has been teaching our son Suzuki guitar for a year now, he began shortly after his third birthday. He is an excellent, patient and skilled teacher who really knows how to redirect an easily-​distracted young learner. Our son loves Kale and playing music has had a great impact on him, we hope that this is the beginning of his life-​long love for music.

I decided to try out guitar lessons because I’ve always envied the fun my brother and uncle have playing guitar. Also, with a little one on the way any day now, I think it’s important for kids to grow up with, and around, music. Even though I had played other instruments fairly proficiently in the past, I knew that with something like the guitar, I could save myself a lot of frustration, bad habits, and time by getting lessons from a professional. And that’s where Kale comes in! I’ve enjoyed and learned from each lesson from day one. I like the pacing and combination of music theory, technical lessons, and the opportunities to play along. My confidence and ability, even though still quite nascent, are far beyond what I could have accomplished on my own by watching YouTube videos or that kind of thing. When my husband hears me practice, which he admits to enjoy, he’s impressed that he can recognize songs or notice improvement in such a short time. I’m very appreciative of Kale and the careful attention he has applied to my playing and lessons.
