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

Brandon Hawkins Guitar Lessons
Brandon Hawkins Guitar Lessons
I’ve been working with Brandon for about 7 months now and have already progressed far beyond what I ever expected. I came in with some really basic experience with guitar and Brandon easily catered lessons to my experience level and has not only advanced my guitar skills, but also my knowledge of music. He is super talented, knowledgeable and makes learning the guitar really fun! 10/10, can’t recommend enough!

Spanish Classical Guitar Performance for Weddin...
Spanish Classical Guitar Performance for Weddin...
I recommend Shogo to everyone at all levels, from beginning to advanced, and at all ages. I have known Shogo because my friend in music school (composition major whose primary instrument is a guitar) takes lessons from him. This summer I started taking lessons from him as well because playing guitar is a requirement for the music therapy program. Although I have some experience in music, playing guitar was totally a new thing. Despite that, within a few months, my skills improved dramatically thanks to my teacher (: The best part of taking lessons from Shogo was that he knew how to work out with students with relatively small hands. My hands are small like elementary school kids'. Therefore, I had difficulties playing some chords at first, but he worked things out! So, obviously Shogo can teach beginners like me as well as college-level students like my friend, and even small kids! He is an experienced teacher who can guide each student step by step to achieve their individual goals. By the way, Shogo is an exceptional performer too. His interpretation is unique, and his performance is always very musical! So, if someone wants to brush up their expression in music, Shogo is the right person to learn from (:

Angelo Branford Guitar Teacher
Angelo Branford Guitar Teacher
I’ve been playing for ~10 years and have worked with countless instructors during that time, but Angelo is in a league of his own. I started taking lessons from him about a year and half ago and can honestly say I’ve never experienced such rapid improvement. As an instructor, Angelo has a natural ability to identify areas you need to work on and crafts every lesson around your personal development. He offers a wealth of knowledge that is valuable at all skill levels, from beginners who are just starting to advanced players who are ready to dive deep into music theory. Angelo always makes sure that each lesson is taught at a digestible pace. He shows up with fresh material, but never hesitates to slow down and review if you’re still struggling with something. His warm personality and patience creates an environment where it’s comfortable to ask questions, so I never feel pressure to move forward with the lesson until I fully grasp the exercise at hand. Lastly, Angelo pays close attention to your musical interests and brings material that you actually want to learn. As a result, I’ve been playing more often and learning faster than I ever have before. With 30+ years of playing and 15 years of teaching under his belt, Angelo’s resume pretty much speaks for itself. He’s a fantastic musician, which makes him an inspirational instructor. Another quality that really sets Angelo apart is his seemingly endless knowledge of music from all genres and cultures. If you show him what you’re listening to at the time, he’ll share the history and influences behind it. Angelo taught me how important it is to understand the story behind the music, because that will ultimately help you shape your own sound on the guitar. Over the past year and a half, Angelo has opened new doors of creativity by introducing me to new artists, genres, and even books about musicians—all of which have made an enormous impact on my playing and desire to learn. Needless to say, I would HIGHLY recommend taking lessons from Angelo. I can’t stress enough how influential he has been on my development as a musician and I very much look forward to working with him in the future.
