I have four kids enrolled here for voice lessons, two of them also take guitar lessons, and one of them was added as lead singer to one of the bands.The band even got to be on t.v.! We have been going here consistantly a couple of times a week for about a year and a half. The amount of confidence built into my children by studying music at this location and participating in the shows they put together is amazing. I could not be happier with Gordon Kennedy(Owner), and the amount of growth in music he has provided for my children. They regularly have venues where your kids can participate whether it be playing an instrument or singing in front of a crowd. They have many different rooms for different voice lessons, piano, guitar, or any instrument you can think of. They even have a band room set up so that the bands can practice. When my fifth child is old enough, he will definitely be joining his four siblings studying music at this location. Every teacher is highly skilled, patient, very polite, and makes you feel like part of a family, as do the other students. Gordon Kennedy does voice lessons for three of my kids, and guitar for two of them. Needless to say, he's an expert at everything he does. I am amazed at how many instruments I have seen this man for you, and he can sing too! Lisa Rowe does voice lessons for my oldest daughter, and she is amazing. She teaches incredible technique and shares secrets from her own book that she has written. You can't go wrong with GK Music, whether you are a child, an adult, or at any skill level in your musical field of choice.All of the other teachers at this location who also been happy to jump in and help by giving pointers or praise to boost the children's confidence. Dreama has also come in to help during vocal lessons a few times, and has always been very friendly to my children. It's always a pleasure to hear her sing, she has an amazing voice, and the best personality you can hope for of someone helping your kids learn and grow. Thanks Gordon and GK folks for letting us be part of your musical family and everything you do for my kids.

I signed up my daughter through Manteca recreation and the first day, the teacher was 15 minutes late. It's a cool class for singing and the teacher is great. Just bit organized well. The second visit went better. Only 3 kids signed up and 2 were absent the 2nd day.Teacher Dreama is great. Place is set up for bands mostly.

It was a Sunday afternoon, we had just travelled from Sacramento to perform a gig at a Senior home in Manteca when we realized we had accidentally left our speaker cables to the PA in Sacramento. I grabbed my phone and called GK, and the guy on the other end of the phone jumped into action. He didn't have the part we needed, but he knew who did. 18 minutes later he was at our gig location with a couple of different options, and he never asked for a dime. This company is a true friend to musicians. I don't frequent Manteca often, but you can bet I will become a regular customer. Thank you GK Music. True champions of customer service. Aloha Polynesia

Our family is very pleased with GK music. I did a lot of browsing for a music teacher. Decided to go with GK. Gordon is an incredibly talented musician and has worked with my son for almost 2 years. He has taught our son so much and continues to challenge him. He definitely enjoys what he does and is very encouraging. I would highly recommend this music instruction studio. You won't be disappointed!

I work with Mike for piano instruction. Great instructor. GK music is a decent place to consider as a music store and instruction.

GK Music is awesome! We highly recommend them to all! My son has taken piano with Gordon via Skype this year and has really enjoyed it. He said that Gordon is the best instructor he's ever had. Thank you GK!

My husband wanted too learn guitar for his birthday. It's intimidating picking up a new hobby in your adulthood. Thanks to GK music he has been taking lessons for 5 months weekly and has learned so much. The price for lessons is a great value. My husband isn't just learning how to play he's learning so much more. I think the pricing is $100-$130/ month depending on your instructor for half an hour weekly lessons!

I have been taking music lessons at GK Music since the summer of 2014, as a sophomore in high school, and I can honestly say choosing this music school was one of the best decisions I have ever made. My expectations coming in were simply to learn a little bit about guitar and learn how to play adequately. However, after just my second lesson with Gordon, he told me "Here's four chords. Write a song." Since that day, I've written around 30 songs, and being a songwriter has become a huge part of my identity. I never thought I would reach the point of being able to release my very own CD, but GK made that happen. After just two years of lessons, having never picked up a guitar before, I recorded six original songs with the support and expertise of Gordon, Mark, and so many other amazing people I met through GK. Additionally, the confidence I have gained through performing music at GK events has been invaluable to my growth throughout my teens and young adulthood. I know I would not be where I am today, musically or personally, without GK Music. When I first started here, I was just seeking guitar lessons, but along the way I also received training in songwriting, music theory, performance, recording, copyright, and so much more. GK doesn't just teach you how to play an instrument, it gives you the tools and experiences to truly understand what it means to a musician. I am so grateful to Gordon and the entire family at GK for everything they've done for me. Everyone is super friendly, flexible, and supportive, and through them I've learned so much. I would highly recommend taking lessons here for anyone interested in music!

My kids both took music lessons at GK Music. They were easy to work with and schedule with. They're very flexible about making up lessons when you miss and such. Gordon was man enough to admit when my daughter had outstripped his ability to teach her on the flute and moved her to another teacher, which impressed me greatly. Lisa is also just amazing! My daughter progressed so much with her. We never did the band program, though we always wanted to. We have moved away, but Gordon will even do lessons over Skype, so we can continue working with them from afar. Great experience here!
