Extreme Music Lessons for all ages & skill levels.

Carrie Flamegurl

These teachers are accomplished musicians with the ability to pass on their knowledge to others in either classical or extreme style lessons! This is a cutting edge approach to music learning with very satisfying results! A truly great addition to downtown Abbotsford.

I have been taking guitar lessons with DJ for 1.5yrs and he is excellent at what he does. He keeps things interesting and always pushes me. The staff are always very nice and easy to deal with, I would highly recommend Temple Music Academy.

-DJ makes everything really easy to understand because he gets rid of the “B.S.” that other guitar teachers create when they teach theory, scales, or songs. He breaks it down to the point where you can understand even the complicated stuff about theory.

It’s rare to have teacher who can teach you how to play AND who can actually play really well themselves. DJ can play everything he teaches which is a change from other teachers I have had who couldn’t play what I wanted to learn.

The thing I like most about DJ is that he makes me feel like I can play any song that I ever wanted to play if I worked my butt off.

David Barbour

I am amazed at how quickly my guitar skills improved after starting lessons with DJ and at how quickly I am now able to learn new songs. DJ has a talent for understanding his student’s skill level and pushing them to play at a level beyond what they think they are capable of.

Amazing teachers and super friendly staff!! By far the best place to take music lessons!!! Highly encourage anyone who is looking for highly trained, knowledgeable and inspirational teachers to go here first!!

Trevor Howell

Every once in a while you come across coaches and teachers that get kids and young people. These few people have the ability to draw out the potential of these and other students. DJ is most definitely one of those few teachers.

Simon Chettle

DJ is an all around great guy. He is happy and energetic every lesson. He is someone that makes guitar fun to learn and because of that DJ has been teaching me his tips and tricks for almost 3 years. DJ is 100% the best guitar teacher ever!

Shane Schoonen

Great guitar instructor, lessons fun and customized to my level of play. Would recommend!

Cam Batt

When I started playing I was 13 years old and I had no idea what to expect. I have now been playing for 6 years and I am still amazed at the progress I have made. I owe it all to DJ. He tells you what you need to know in a way that you understand. When you start playing guitar you have an idea of what kind of player you want to become, and DJ can help you not only achieve your musical goals, but to surpass them.

Elizabeth Kidd

DJ is a remarkable teacher.  He really connects with my son Cordane and each time a lesson is over my son has such a sense of enthusiasm to learn more. To teach is to “draw out” and DJ does just that!

When your teenage son looks up to a teacher with admiration you know there is something special about that person.

Gwen Tso

If it wasn’t for DJ, I doubt my son would have stuck with guitar.  DJ has a lot of energy and has kept things interesting for Ben to continue on learning.  He has adapted to teaching Ben Rock and Roll music which Ben finds more appealing than following beginner kids text books. Thanks DJ!!

Sami Wilcox

We have been so pleased with the patience and unconditional support that our son has received. DJ has really taken the time to teach him how he needed to learn and as a result has great fun learning new music and techniques.

Mimma Borrelli

My son has been going to DJ for lessons about 2 years now. He really looks forward to his lessons and Idolizes him. Every now and then we joke with our son and tell him we are going to take him out of guitar lessons and he gets so upset! As for DJ, he is not only an amazing teacher, he is an awesome person! He treats his students as people and equals not as children. He helps his students feel comfortable, makes his lessons fun and encouraging. I would definitely recommend anyone to take lesson from him…as a matter of fact, my husband takes lessons from him as well.

Sean Harris

Matt and DJ are outstanding teachers. They totally worked perfectly with my skill level and I feel I’m miles ahead of what I used to be as a musician. The atmosphere there is awesome, and every student enjoys coming every week. Great prices too! Top notch, you would be crazy not to learn an instrument here!

Josh Hill

If you’re looking for quality music lessons, this is the place. Everything from the staff at the front desk to the teachers goes above and beyond what I could’ve asked for. The teachers are knowledgeable and exceptional musicians themselves, and are great with all ages of students. A big thank you to the guitar instructor DJ Temple for sharing his passion for music.

Ryan Thomas

DJ Temple is the man. He’s really focused and skilled. His personality and approach helps to translate complex technical guitar theory and methods into useable and easy to understand, real life ability for beginners and experienced players alike. ImI hooked!
