Sondra T. says, "I contacted StookU and told them what I expected from a teacher, and they paired me with Johnny-Ray, who is AMAZING! Every lesson is taped so you are able to go and back and review. There is also a Google doc link with uploaded material as you learn. The cost of lessons is reasonable. The best part, though, is my teacher, Johnny-Ray. He plays several instruments and is knowledgable about music theory and music history. When asked a question, he always has the answer. I take guitar with him. I liked him so much that my husband also started taking guitar lessons with him, but he teaches other things too. My hsuband enjoys the lessons as well. Johnny-Ray is a quality teacher. My husband and I are at different levels on the guitar and have different goals, and he created a separate and distinct lesson plan for each of us. He is always on time and ready to work. I have nothing but glowing things to say about him. A+ Experience."See more

I intentionally offer 45-minute and 70-minute lessons because real progress happens when you’re not rushed, and I want you to actually enjoy the learning process from the very first session. Those opening minutes—tuning, warming up, shaking off nerves—are completely normal, and longer lessons give you the space to relax, lock in, and walk away knowing you learned something you can immediately use. With 20 years of teaching experience, I’ve seen firsthand that these lesson lengths consistently create faster growth, stronger confidence, and better long-term results for students at every level. I teach primarily online via Zoom, giving you flexible scheduling and professional-level instruction wherever you are, with in-home or studio options available when needed. I studied Guitar Performance at McNally Smith College of Music and have spent well over a decade working inside the professional music industry, collaborating directly on major tours and productions with artists including Peter Frampton, The Temptations, Bryan Adams, the Jimi Hendrix Tour, Michael W. Smith, Foreigner, Melissa Etheridge, Kenny Loggins, “Weird Al” Yankovic, Martina McBride, Steven Curtis Chapman, Sidewalk Prophets, Tim Hawkins, Craig Campbell, and more—experience that shows up in every lesson through real-world insight you won’t get from generic teaching apps or hobby instructors. My lessons are focused, practical, and built around your goals, whether you’re picking up an instrument for the first time, breaking through a plateau, learning music theory without confusion, writing songs, performing with confidence, or preparing for professional band and touring work. I offer extended lesson times for deeper progress at $75 for 70 minutes or $60 for 45 minutes, and students choose me not because I’m the cheapest, but because they want clarity, momentum, and results. My goal isn’t just to teach you songs—it’s to give you the tools, confidence, and direction to become an independent musician who knows how to keep growing long after the lesson ends. Discounts are available for Educators, EMS/Fire, Police, Retirees, and student referrals, and availability is limited, so if you’re ready to stop guessing, start improving, and actually enjoy your progress, reach out today and let’s get you playing at a higher level.See more

Caleb S. says, "I have been playing guitar lightly on and off for 30 years. I have been around guitar enough to somewhat discern talent and skill. When I decided I wanted to start over and learn classical guitar from a professional teacher I went hunting for a great teacher. Before starting lessons with Peter I met with a couple other guitar teachers and gauged them against others I have known. I chose Peter because I found him to be everything I was looking for. Peter is smart. He is both a highly skilled player and a talented teacher. He is dedicated to teaching guitar vs teachers who don’t primarily play guitar or teachers who don’t have any training in guitar pedagogy. Peter is a great communicator in general, which has helped us navigate my complicated schedule and tailor my instruction to my needs and interests. Peter seems to be flexible and realistic with the curriculum he devised for me and the goals we set. Peter has a great personality for teaching. In the journey of developing guitar skill, I think he is a great guide. He knows the art, he knows how to teach it, he knows how to do hard things, how to overcome challenges, and he has a deep trove of experiences to draw from in lessons. My lessons with him have been fun, helpful, and well structured. For the kind of guitar playing I am interested in, my search is over, Peter is a great teacher."See more
