Jensen School of Music

Derek is a fantastic guy and a competent, skilled and patient teacher. It’s rare you meet someone with such enthusiasm that you call not just a teacher but a friend. I love our chats about 80s hair metal and bands we both love. I learned a few “lightbulbs” moments recently with Derek including scale progression across the fretboard. I struggled with the concept from books but having someone there to show me and catch the many intricacies of guitar is fantastic. Bonus points for Derek loving Nuno Bettencourt like I do! Daniel.

Derek is the best guitar teacher ever! He has already inspired our 3 year old daughter to show more interest in music. He’s so kind and pours his heart into his work, his passion for music and teaching are beautiful to see.

Great teacher! Passionate about music and genuinely cares about helping his students succeed. Patient and generous with his time.
