If I could give more stars I would. Jensen School of Music is an amazing place to learn how to play guitar. I started taking guitar lessons from Derek Jensen because my brother did and I absolutely loved it! I took lessons from Derek for about 6 years. He is a great teacher and has become a great friend too! I’ve learned how to play many songs and have learned many different tips and tricks on my guitar. I would recommend Derek Jensen of Jensen School of Music to anyone who is looking to either learn how to play guitar, or simply want to improve their skills!

The Jensen School of Music is the best place to learn guitar. Derek teaches everything you want to know about playing the guitar and does it with patience and a smile. I have learned tons of songs that I wanted to play and tons of technique to go along with it. I started taking lessons 5 years ago and to this day guitar lessons are the thing I look forward to the most every week.
Angela Rebrec                                                                                                            Derek is a fantastic guitar teacher—friendly, knowledgeable and encouraging. My son has been a student of his for years and really enjoys his lessons. Derek customizes lesson plans according to what you would like out of them: from classical, to studying for examinations, or just learning tab and playing favourite rock/alternative songs. He’s transitioned to Zoom practices and they are just as effective as his in-person ones. Derek sends sheet music and mp3s via email for lessons and is also willing to adjust times and dates of lessons to accommodate changes in your schedule. He is a polite and respectful person and we are very happy with how our son’s progression. Highly recommend this guy!

Daniel Siemens                                                                                                                  I took guitar lessons at Jensen School of Music for several years, and I could not have asked for a better place to foster a passion for music as well as growth in my guitar playing. My instructor was incredibly personable, and made learning to play the guitar an absolute joy. Highly recommended!
