I took lessons from Jerry for a few months and he was a very good teacher. I'm a beginner and also a teacher. He taught me the basics and what I was interested in. He is very patient, knowledgeable, easy to talk to and a great person with a good sense of humor. I'd recommend him to anyone. I only recently stopped due to some family issues and time constraints. Again, highly recommended!

When my daughter expressed a desire to learn the violin, my husband began a mission to find a teacher. We feel very lucky to have found Mr. J! He is extremely patient, dedicated and talented. Our daughter has steadily progressed and truly enjoys her lessons.

Mr. J is such an amazing instructor. He makes each lesson fun and easy to understand. He is very patient and takes the time to help my daughter improve with each lesson. My daughter had a break from violin and Mr. J helped her get back into it. She is enjoying each lesson she attends. Thank you Mr J for teaching my daughter.

My son started learning how to play the violin in January. Jerry Pajel's ability to customize the learning experience, to fit the interests of the learner is wonderful. My son has learned so much already, and is excited to learn more.

My daughter has been taking lessons from Mr. J. (aka Jerry Pajel) for many years and we are beyond happy with his instruction! My daughter has learned and improved greatly. She really enjoys it, too & never wants to miss a lesson. Mr. J is also helping her prepare to teach a beginning violin class this summer! Mr. J is professional and helpful and cares about his students. He is motivating and knowledgeable! I would highly recommend Mr. J for anyone interested in taking violin classes.
