This is the most fun Ive ever had playing music. Mike Lockwood is the best music teacher Ive had the pleasure of working with. He makes learning to play fun. I look forward to picking up my guitar everyday and challenging myself. Mikes has the ability to convey music theory and practical techniques in an enjoyable way. The Pensacola Music Company has everything a beginning, intermediate or advanced player needs to grow as a musician. Highest marks for The Pensacola Music Company.
Taking guitar lessons with Mike Lockwood was one of the best experiences I have ever had. I felt that my creativity, proficiency, and overall love of music skyrocketed in the year I was able to study with him. Mike went above and beyond by providing the opportunity to perform live and record original music - all great ways of applying everything that he taught in the classroom each week. He is a great teacher and mentor. I would recommend him to anybody that is thinking of taking guitar lessons.
Ive tried my hand at guitar a couple of times but it wasnt until I sat down with Mike yesterday for my first free lesson that I really felt like I had a shot at learning how to play. Mike is personable and outgoing and builds the lesson around your skills and goals even in the first free lesson. The lessons include practical music teaching as well as small amounts of basic music theory so you walk out actually feeling like a musician. Whether youre 10 years old or 80, Mike is the music instructor for you!!
My daughter and I have been taking guitar lessons from John Jinks at Pensacola Music Company for over a year. We have both had a great experience with our lessons. John and Michael have always been super friendly. The lessons are tailored to what ever interests you. I would highly recommend that if you are interested in learning an instrument you check out Pensacola Music company.
Michael is amazing with my son. He has an intuitive way of knowing how to teach him music. I love it when a sentence begins with Michael & I played this .....(insert drum pattern here) last week. Did you hear the fill? It goes like this... Music lessons are fun at The PMC!
I took guitar lessons at PMC for about a year while I lived in Pensacola. These guys are awesome. I had John as an instructor. He is extremely patient and knowledgeable. What I loved was that everyone is so helpful and they just love sharing their knowledge with you. I had a lot of fun taking lessons here and ended up purchasing two new guitars from them. I would definitely recommend them to anyone!
My daughter has been taking both saxophone and guitar lessons at Pensacola Music Company. As a former music major myself, Ive been absolutely impressed with the instruction shes received from Michael (guitar and mandolin) and Rodney (saxophone). She has showed great improvement on each instrument; and more importantly, shes enjoyed the lessons because they are fun. Pensacola Music Company rocks! Literally :)
I have been taking mandolin lessons at PMC for about four months now! These guys are awesome. Michael is my instructor. He is very patient and knowledgeable. Coming from zero experience with playing an instrument, to where I am already after four months, I am very pleased and having a blast. I would definitely recommend them to anyone!
Both of our kids have been taking lessons from Michael for years. Not only do they learn about their instrument, they get a good dose of music theory and how music is created. We could not be happier with the musical education our kids have gotten. Michael instills a love of learning in each of them.
We love Pensacola Music Company. We live across town and make the drive each week, because we think Mr Mike is amazing, and our son loves playing and learning with him. He is a great teacher, who makes it fun, but pushes him to learn more each week.
Pensacola Music Company is best described by one word, FUN! Over the past months that I have taken lessons with Mike Lockwood, he has made each individual lesson a fun experience on a personal level designed specifically for me. The instructors teach you how to play your instrument based on your own personal interests. By allowing you to choose what you specifically want to learn, you gain a deeper interest in playing and a desire to master your instrument. Hands down, PMC is the place to go.
Impressive! My seventeen year old was preparing for college to major in Music Education and needed to learn to read music; he already played by ear. In just a few weeks, he was able to identify notes and read music. The Pensacola Music Company took time to help my son set realistic goals and set a plan of action to assist him with his future college plans. I am thankful and my son continues to improve!
Whether you have a young one who you think would benefit from music lessons, or youve ever wanted to learn to play an instrument, or even if youre already rockin and want to take your performance to the next level, youd be hard pressed to find a better place to get that direction than the Pensacola Music Company.From guitar to brass, to keys, vocal or percussion, they do it all with a friendly smile and a professional attitude. Plus, students get an opportunity to perform at one of their recitals held at a local venue in front of a live crowd: how cool is that?! This place is the real deal: dont sell yourself short by going anywhere else!!
Michael really helped build my confidence as a musician and taught me a lot about my instrument as well as playing it. I really loved taking lessons here!
LOVE PMC!! Michael Lockwood is creative, knowledgeable and so enthusiastic. We have been with Pensacola Music Company for years and plan to be for many more, Check him out!!!
Having watched Michael interact with young kids over the years I am really surprised he does not have any. He really knows how to treat people and motivate them.
The instructors keep it fun and get the job done! Both of my children look forward to their instrument lessons, one piano, the other alto sax.
This is the awesome one go to this were they actually have funnnnnnn i
Great Lessons!! Great teachers too!
