Rebecca J. says, "My daughter (now 15) took piano lessons with Marissa for 3 years (and only stopped because Marissa moved). We *absolutely adore* Marissa: she is an exceptional teacher and person. She consistently inspired my daughter and positively impacted her, both musically and personally. Marissa is a consummate professional and also incredibly approachable, responsive, and understanding — a true gem!"See more

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

Stefany A. says, "I can honestly say these singing and music theory lessons have been one of the best investments I’ve made. He doesn’t just teach you to sing songs — he teaches you to actually understand your voice and the music behind it. The way he explains technique, breathing, pitch control, and musical structure makes everything finally make sense. Concepts that used to feel confusing in music theory are now clear and practical. He is extremely patient, encouraging, and detail-oriented. He knows how to correct you without discouraging you, which builds real confidence. I’ve noticed real improvement not only in my pitch and control, but also in how I listen to music and approach worship/singing overall. If you want someone who truly teaches (not just runs through exercises) and genuinely cares about your progress, I highly recommend him. These lessons are professional, structured, and worth every minute."See more

Trinh P. says, "I’ve only just begun working with Marcus, but I really appreciated him taking the time to talk with me about what to expect from lessons and to share some wisdom about music and the music business. He’s very quick to respond, and his lessons take place in person, which is a huge plus. I’m very excited to continue learning from him, and I would recommend him to anyone looking to grow in their skills as a pianist or musician at any level."See more

Jeanluc G. says, "I really appreciate this young man’s professionalism. He is worth every dollar. He followed all directions and satisfied my guests’ requests, as he familiarized himself with the music of the last three decades on the piano. My guests were very satisfied. I would definitely hire him again for my next party or gathering."See more
