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

Traci B. says, "JJ has been an incredible voice instructor for our daughter. From the moment he walks through the door, it’s an hour of focused, intentional teaching. Every lesson begins with vocal warmups, and then they spend the rest of the time singing while JJ accompanies her on the piano. He sings alongside her, demonstrating techniques, helping her safely expand her range, strengthen her voice, and build confidence. What stands out just as much as his talent is his professionalism. JJ is always on time, communicates exceptionally well, and brings such a classy, encouraging presence to every lesson. He has a wonderful way of challenging his students while making them feel supported and capable. We’ve seen tremendous growth in our daughter’s voice, but even more importantly, we’ve watched her confidence blossom. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, dependable, and gifted vocal coach, I cannot recommend JJ highly enough. We truly feel blessed to have him as part of our daughter’s musical journey!"See more

Reviews for New York electric guitar instructors on Thumbtack

From Thumbtack Customer

Sam with StookU
Sam with StookU
I’ve had an amazing experience learning with StookU. From the very beginning, the lessons have been engaging, professional, and incredibly easy to follow. I’ve been learning electric guitar, music theory, how to read sheet music, and so much more — and I’ve genuinely seen major improvement in my skills and confidence. A huge shoutout to my instructor, Jacob, who has been absolutely outstanding throughout the process. He’s patient, knowledgeable, encouraging, and knows exactly how to break things down in a way that makes learning both fun and effective. His passion for music and teaching really shows in every lesson. What I appreciate most about StookU is that they don’t just teach you songs — they help you truly understand music. Whether you’re a beginner or someone looking to sharpen your skills, I highly recommend them to anyone serious about learning guitar and becoming a better musician.
