Acoustic guitar instructors near Honolulu, HI

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

Benjamin S. says, "I’m an older student taking guitar lessons with Izzy for heavy metal, and he is easily the best guitar teacher I’ve ever had. I’ve taken lessons from several instructors before, and none of them even come close! Beyond his truly incredible virtuoso-level playing, Izzy has the ear and musical understanding of a true master. What really sets him apart as a teacher, however, is his ability to break down extremely complex musical ideas into manageable pieces. Izzy does not overwhelm you with theory or technique; he blends the two together seamlessly. The moment that you get some sick riffs under your fingers, you realize you've also learned where the notes live on the guitar. Even as an adult learner, I feel confident progressing with him because he creates a learning environment where improvement feels achievable and exciting. Every lesson leaves me feeling like the next level of playing is within reach, and excited for the following Friday! It doesn't matter if you're finally ready to learn to shred, or if you are just looking for a teacher that makes learning guitar feel fun and achievable, I cannot recommend Izzy highly enough!! - Ben S"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

Mike L. says, "I've been taking lessons now for 3 months. Been totally enjoying sessions with James. He listens to my feedback, and also pushes me to continue learning always providing clear guidance and instruction. I was initially concerned about how online classes would work, that concern was removed pretty quickly with the professionalism that James presents. So happy I started classes with him!"See more
