Denise M. says, "The customer support staff at StookU have been exceptional. When I have a problem, they are quick to respond with a solution, they give timely reminders, help with tech problems (though it's always on my end), take care of scheduling issues and are extremely courteous and thorough in all the services they provide. The company itself provides vocal and instrumental lessons and mentoring. They are a young company and relatively small, though expanding, and everything that I've seen so far - from their coaches and mentors to the sites/platforms, which foster a great community feeling, to the aforementioned customer service - have been well thought out, helpful and effective."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

Karen B. says, "I've been taking guitar lessons for a few months with Alan, and he has been fantastic! He listens to my goals and caters the lessons towards my interests and skill level. As an example, although he is classically trained, I didn't want to take the classical approach, so I'm learning guitar through pop music. He is encouraging, gives thoughtful response to all my questions, and peppers in bits of music theory in each lesson. He also does vocal training, which wasn't in my initial scope of criteria, but is much appreciated! I recommend music lessons with Alan! :)"See more

Cezanne V. says, "I consider myself very lucky to have Michael as my classical guitar teacher. Not only is he incredibly knowledgeable and skilled in his craft, but he is also a meticulous teacher who genuinely cares about his students’ musical growth. I was initially skeptical about taking music lessons over Zoom, but he proved that the format presents no obstacle to effective learning. I also really appreciate his responsiveness via text if I have questions when practicing. Reflecting on the progress I’ve made with his guidance in a matter of only a few months, I can confidently say this has been one of the greatest investments I’ve ever made. Thanks, Michael."See more
