Heather L. says, "My daughter has been taking classes at Stook U Music for about a month, and we’ve had a great experience. They’ve been incredibly patient with her as she learns—and with me as well. When our second month started, my card was declined due to my bank issuing a new one. Instead of disrupting her lessons, they reached out to me directly and assured me that going forward they would contact me if there was ever an issue, rather than removing her from class. That level of communication and understanding really stood out. They were kind and patient throughout the entire process and even went above and beyond by helping me explore lessons for myself—offering discounts, options, and following up with zero pressure. It’s clear they genuinely care about their students and families. I highly recommend Stook U Music."See more

Thea R. says, "I’ve been taking guitar lessons with Summer for the past 8 months, and it’s been an awesome experience! In that time, I’ve learned so many chords and riffs, and I can now play through some of my favorite songs. Summer is patient, accommodating, and an excellent communicator. She always makes each lesson fun and engaging. She’s a rockstar! Highly recommend"See more

Mason S. says, "Cole was always very supportive of me and my goals. My favorite thing about working with him was getting to work on what I wanted. I could choose the songs or techniques I was interested in a Cole would work with me on those. There was still a good balance of fundamentals, but they were things Cole knew I would need as a musician. This all helped me to stay engaged as I wasn't bored to death learning something I had no interest in while still improving every week in our lessons. I have worked with Cole for many years, from 4th grade in elementary till senior year of high school. The only reason I stopped was because I started to attend music school on the east coast. None of that would have been possible without Cole and I HIGHLY recommend him to anyone for guitar/music lessons."See more

Emily C. says, "Doc Doolittle/Ian watched my sixth month old kitten named Bat for me while I was out of town recently and I couldn't have been happier with my experience. I was so nervous about leaving Bat for the first time, but Ian assured me that I had nothing to worry about. He sent me updates and pictures constantly while I was away which was very comforting, and he was consistently professional, trustworthy, and reassuring. He is wonderful with animals and immediately got along well with my kitten. I felt safe leaving her with him and would entrust her into his care again in a heartbeat. In fact, I am visiting family out of state over the holidays and requested that he watch over her again! Look to Ian for your pet-sitting needs, you won't regret it. :)"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

Jesse P. says, "Gaurav is the man for the guitar!! I’ve been working with him for over a year and I’m already delivering face-melting solos (well I’m working on it). Working with Gaurav is a ton of fun and he breaks things down so that your playing becomes easier and engaging, not tedious. This is key for anyone just starting out or for a seasoned amateur like myself. I can’t speak for pros but Gaurav certainly is one. If you want to shred on a metal solo or play Nashville-style, Gaurav can show you how. Best teacher I’ve ever had, hands down!!"See more
