“At 63 and newly retired, I fully leaned into the baby-boomer cliché of “I’m going to learn guitar.” What I didn’t expect was to find a place like Westlake Music Academy.
Tom never treated me like a cliché. He shared my excitement, believed in me when I didn’t always believe in myself, and made learning both fun and meaningful. After a year of lessons, I’m genuinely enjoying it—and actually playing the guitar.
My wife, who had some early doubts (and fears about what she’d be hearing), now tells friends and family she loves having music in the house. That says it all.
I’ve also just started voice lessons with Albert. After two lessons he knows he has his work cut out for him, but his energy and encouragement make it exciting to step outside my comfort zone.
Shout-out to Emily at the front desk as well. Watching her help students, it’s clear she treats everyone not as customers but as part of a family of musicians.
If you’ve ever thought it might be “too late” to start music, Westlake Music Academy will prove you wrong.”
