What Our Clients Say

Hear From Local Families

Our child has been taking guitar lessons with Max at Pfabe's for about a year and a half. She started not even knowing how to hold a guitar and she's worked her way to finishing her first book. Max is a kind, patient and encouraging teacher and our daughter is always excited for her lessons—even in the summer!
Oshaben Family
Parent of a Pfabe's Student
I am 60 years old and have wanted to play the guitar all my life. I've taken lessons before, but always quit for one reason or another. I've been working with Mike for a couple of months now and really enjoy his lessons and knowledge. I'll keep on keepin' on!
Daniel Walsh
Adult Guitar Student
My son has been a piano student of Pam's at Pfabe's for over a year and we have been very happy here. The communication is excellent between the teachers and parents. Everyone has gone above and beyond whenever I've had questions or needed to reschedule.
