for a month in the back studio room when i was in third grade i felt safe because i had a month of lessons paid for by my mom at amazing music. thats the only time i could doze during daylight. i wanted to die and i forget his name i loved my guitar teacher though. and after being homeless and living at the pali library and in abandonment i brought my guitar to play and i was given strings for free new and we had fun playing my favorite song at the time: the last wombat in mecca. and i even got a bag of 10 cent bottles that paid for my dinner when i recycled at ralphs :) this place is the best there is and the owner and my guitar teacher who isnt there anymore are the best because they are safe and they dont know it and they stopped me from losing hope and theyre green. love them. thank you.

Such a special place with awesome dedicated teachers! I know tons and tons of locals who go there and everyone I know loves it, including our family. So much culture, local history, and great family vibes there! We support all the teachers 100%!!! Def send your kids there and feel safe knowing they are getting the most positive encouraging education out there!

In assuming the long time owner Pat Sr is still providing lessons in Pac Pal, I - my intent is to spread awareness. Through my personal warning for parents… children are NOT safe with PATRICK HILDEBRANAND SR. . Do not allow him “teach” them privately or otherwise . Pick a different teacher, or better yet diff studio to support. I know first hand of the danger potential for the most vulnerable - the elementary schools young.

This family friendly store has served my grandchildren and friends since the 70’s. Their positive, professional vibe is hard to find these days. Thank you Hildebrand family for your music teaching gift and involvements in the community.

This small mom and pop music shop (which offers lessons in a variety of instruments including piano and sells guitars, mandolins, ukuleles, song books and everything else you need) is a gem. It's tiny, but full of heart and soul. My special needs son's guitar string broke and they went out of their way to fix it on the spot. They also let him try out a bunch of different instruments. He loves music, so this meant a lot to him and me. Their prices are very reasonable, and I hear the music teachers are great. The place has been there for thirty years, run by two generations of a single family.

When my son was little I brought him here for lessons. The female piano teacher who is supposedly seasoned, is not well versed in her ability to engage with or direct your child’s interest and passion for music. In my case, she even had the nerve to negatively speak behind my back to others in the community since she was unable to get my child to perform at a particular level as opposed to taking accountability that her teaching methods were not working. I do not recommend this studio.

Pat and his family got me started on the drums and on my musical journey over 40 years ago!! He probably doesn't even realize what a tremendous impact he has had on thousands and thousands of musicians over the years. He was always welcoming, encouraging, positive and full of joy... oh, and he's one bad mf on the guitar and now the ukulele! Thanks Pat. You ARE amazing! Max

My teenage daughter has been taking guitar lessons at Amazing Music and loves it. The place has a great vibe - her teacher is patient and has really connected with her.

Patrick's enthusiasm is contagious. My son, 9nyears old, was motivated to learn due to the friendly atmosphere and Patrick's patience and soothing vouce . He teaches at each kids pace to make sure they enjoy the lessons each time out. We've been going for over 2 months now. 1 lesson per week. Patrick provides the notes and songs you want to learn so you can practice at home as well. Highly recommended if your motivated to learn.
