PATRICK WILKINSON

Patrick’s musical journey began at the age of five with the ukulele, inspired by a musically rich family and nurtured through a strong music program at Oriole Elementary in Ft. Lauderdale. His passion for stringed instruments soon led him to the guitar, and by his teenage years, he was performing with seasoned musicians. Patrick’s guitar accompanied him across the world as a U.S. soldier and later to Florida State University, where he earned his degree in Theatre.

With decades of experience, Patrick has played countless live shows at iconic venues such as CBGB’s and The Bitter End in NYC. He has taught guitar at PS 452 in New York and infused his passion for music into theater programs at Palm Beach Gardens High School and G-Star School of the Arts. Patrick is excited to bring his love for guitar to students at Performing Arts Academy of Jupiter, continuing to share the joy of music that has defined his life.

Through decades of coaching and mentoring students, Patrick remains deeply grateful to the teachers and musicians who inspired him and is excited to share his passion for guitar with the next generation at Performing Arts Academy of Jupiter.
