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

Sara Salseg says, "Ryan is a great teacher! He's organized, patient, mellow and easy to follow and understand. As an adult I had so much fun learning and I couldn't wait to learn more!! My 10 year old has been weird since a year of quarantine and it's been hard to get her interested in anything again and Ryan tried sooooo hard to get her engaged, he picked songs he thought she might like or that she requested. He tried to play music games with her to make it fun instead of following the book. He was just so great with her when her lack of trying was driving me nuts!! He also taught me one of the songs I requested which made my day! Ryan is a local hard working dad/familyman and a great guitar lesson teacher and I highly recommend him!!!! Thanks for everything Ryan I look forward to more lessons in the future!!"See more

Mark C. says, "I have been working with Jaime for a little over 3 months and I couldn’t be happier. For two years I had been bouncing between teachers and self-teaching with little practical gains and a lot of self-doubt and frustration. As a 50+ aspiring musician/guitarist, I had a lot of desire and aspirations, but very little structure or direction. When I decided to pursue a guitar teach last November, Jaime was 1 of 5 that I interviewed (i.e. “grilled”) in the hope of finding a relatively perfect fit. After 3 weeks of trial lessons, interviews and discussions I settled on Jaime for a number of reasons: 1) flexibility of lessons – we set a standard day and time be he was willing to be flexible with my work and travel schedule; 2) flexibility of payment – he would take per-lesson or per month payment depending on my finances; 3) remote lessons – I travel quite frequently and needed someone who was not only able to do remote lessons, but was also experienced/set-up to perform those lessons; 4) philosophy – Jaime is all about “listening”, and from the first day he said that we would spend a lot of time listening to what/how I player compared to just learning the mechanics of playing; and 5) Jaime is an experienced and educated musician. From the first lesson he was able to diagnose and correct a number of mistakes I was making – how to hold the pick, string muting, alternate picking, poor beat recognition, posture. Although these first lessons were frustrating for me, his ability and willingness to correct these mistakes has paid HUGE dividends. I cannot recall how I was sitting, picking or playing 3 months ago, but I can say for a fact I am more efficient and proficient. As for the lessons, I feel we have been making steady progress. My speed is up, my ear is better, I have more confidence in my playing, and I enjoy practicing again. Not once during this time did Jaime make me feel inferior that my inexperience was a burden. He ACTIVELY listens during all my lessons – something my previous teachers did not. He sees and hears how I am playing and calls me out – good or bad – when needed. I cannot stress how important and instrumental this is in learning a new instrument – you need to catch those bad habits early and often! I feel I have a good head for music theory – but music theory doesn’t play the guitar. Jaime has helped me start to bridge the gap between knowing and doing; in the end we want to play music – not just study it. I couldn’t be happier with my decision to have Jaime as my teacher, and I look forward to what the next year(s) will bring working with him. I would endorse him to be anyone’s teacher without reservation."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
