Paul
Boisvert
Voice Instructor
Paul started his personal journey with music at the age of 12 after watching live videos of the band Nirvana. After picking up the guitar he knew it would become his greatest obsession.
His drive and focus on music led him to pursue higher education in music after participating heavily in all forms of music in high school. His studies brought him to Anna Maria College where he is currently a third year student majoring in Music Education and minoring in Jazz Studies. In his course of study he has focused heavily on performing in various groups including Jazz Bands, Guitar Ensembles and even with the school Pep Band. As well as performing he has also spent a great amount of time focusing on the pedagogy of various instruments.
Paul has been working at Jack’s Guitar Garage since the Summer of 2021 and is excited to bring his perspective to the store, as well as take part in the great community.
