Guitar Center Medford 2570 Crater Lake Hwy. Medford, OR
Jesse Kennemer has been a part of Southern Oregons music scene for almost twenty years. Kennemer, at the ripe old age of ten, began playing at several local jam sessions, The Rogue Theatre, and at the Back to the '50s concert in Riverside Park. His biggest accomplishment that year was performing at the Austin Texas Music Hall with Robert Randolph and the Los Lonely Boys on New Years Eve. Kennemer loves the guitar. He began playing at six and would listen to music endlessly and play it by ear. At eight he studied under local guitarist Randy Mackay, who was a former student of Joe Satriani, and so began his love for Satriani. Bending and shredding emotion is what it’s about for Kennemer. In Hawaii, where his dad is from, he was taught under expert guitar maker and shredder, Avi Ronen of Lahaina Custom Guitars. There, Kennemer was introduced to the ukulele and the slide guitar. Gary Mallabar, a Gold and Platinum musician, and former member of The Steve Miller Band, saw talent in Kennemer. Kennemer began recording with Mallaber on their debut album Stinger in 2016. They are currently working on their 2nd instrumental album.

Hello. My name is Jesse Figurate. I have been playing drums for almost 20 years and I can play multiple genres of music. I have been teaching for about 3 years. I did basically every band in high school, jazz, wind ensemble, concert band, pep band, and marching band. I was selected for the all-star jazz band my junior and senior year of high school as well as my freshman year of college. I listen to multiple genres of music as well. I have my own “curriculum” that I use for any student that is taking lessons with me. Anything you want to learn we can either learn it together or I can teach you how to perform. Lastly, I help organize the recitals for Guitar Center every quarter if you are ever interested in playing in them. I look forward to playing drums with you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Each instructor customizes lessons to ensure you are learning what you like and having fun. Your instructor will start you slowly, introducing new concepts each week, plus give you exercises or easy songs to play to keep you learning at home.
Learning an instrument is an enriching and rewarding experience that creates lifelong benefits, including increased self-esteem and the boosting of memory. Additionally, benefits for school-age individuals can include improved coordination, the expanding of social skills, and higher scores in math, reading and language.
30-minute lessons allow young or beginner students to learn the basics of the instrument and start playing songs. 60-minute lessons are ideal for more advanced students looking to progress faster and focus on the finer points of technique.
This varies by age and the type of goals the student has set out to achieve. However, most new students usually spend 15–30 min. practicing daily, while advanced students can practice for an hour or more each day in between lessons.
Our flexible curriculum allows students of all skill levels to experience growth. We help create a foundational understanding of music theory through the style of music you want to play. Our instructors will work to understand your goals and passions, and make sure you are on the path to learning what you want at your own speed.
Our Lessons staff will work with you to determine your current skill level, stylistic interest and ambitions. We'll then help you choose an instructor who best suits your style and goals. If at any point, you'd like to change instructors, let us know. Our weekly monitoring of progress and wide-ranging curriculum means you can switch to any of our qualified instructors, or another instrument, without missing a beat.
