Guitar Lessons

Jerry Pandelios Jerry Pandelios is the owner of Saucon Valley Music and one of the guitar teachers. He has been playing guitar for 28 years and teaching professionally for over 15. Throughout his life he has studied privately with many different teachers, among them are such well known players as Greg Howe (Michael Jackson, Justin Timberlake) and Craig Thatcher (The Craig Thatcher Band).

Jerry has been performing professionally in various original and cover bands for 20 years. Still playing professionally today (Blockhead), he has worked with many talented musicians who were a big influence on him and his playing style. Learning how to read music and playing to large crowds at an early age also prepared him towards his eventual goal of playing professionally.

With years of playing in live bands and hundreds of hours of studio experience, performing mainly rock/blues oriented material, Jerry brings a lot of talent and experience to each lesson he teaches. He feels no two students are alike and approaches each student with a different long and short-term goal. His love for playing the guitar and his enthusiasm for teaching the guitar are what drive him into making every guitar session he teaches an important one.


Paul KemererPaul D Demarest Jr. started his musical career at the age of nine. I began playing the saxophone in the school band. Later on, I played tuba, string bass in the marching and concert bands. I played guitar in the junior high and high school stage bands. I enjoyed hard rock and heavy metal music in my teens. During high school, I developed a love for jazz and classical music. I attended University of the Arts in Philadelphia.

While I was there, I studied with Ed Flanagan, who has done many Broadway shows and has toured with Al Martino. I also was instructed at University of the Arts by Robert Di Nardo, who was a staff guitarist for The Mike Douglas Show. I received a Bachelor’s Degree in Music in 1990. Some of the establishments I have performed at include The Supper Club, Hotel Pennsylvania, and the USS Intrepid, all in New York City. I have played at Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City and Montclair Country Club in West Orange, New Jersey. I have also performed at Huntington Townhouse on Long Island. I have played at Birchwood Country Club in Whippany, New Jersey with Donald Trump in the audience.

I have been performing with The Rob Stoneback Orchestra, a Bethlehem based 19 piece big band since January 1990. I also perform with the Asbury Jazz Quintet, a Christian based ensemble utilizing classical, jazz, and rock influences. This group is based at Asbury Methodist Church in Allentown. Some of the entertainers I have performed with include: Regis Philbin, Al Martino , Julius La Rosa, Bob Newhart, Randy Brecker, Bob Mintzer, Perry Como, Emily Remler John Blake, Jimmy Bruno, Larry McKenna, Marilyn Horne, Barbara Cook, John Swana, and Stanley Turrentine. I am a member of AFM Local #45. I have been teaching privately since 1984. I have been playing in pit orchestras since 1983. I perform on guitar, bass guitar, mandolin, and banjo. I perform mostly in the Lehigh Valley area with several groups including Muhlenberg college, Cedar Crest College theatre departments and Municipal Opera Company (MunopCo) in Allentown.
