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

Have you or a family member always wanted to play guitar? Since 2015 I have offered 1-2-1 lessons for children, adults and seniors out of my home studio. My teaching style is flexible. If you want formal, I can teach you how to read music and play guitar. If you just want to learn the chords and riffs of your favorite songs, we can go in that direction. • I book lessons in 30-45 minute increments just in student run late. • My cancellation policy is flexible. I re-schedule makeup classes ASAP. • As a professional event musician, I share my 300+ song library with my students. I also locate sheet music for my students' favorite songs. Testimonials are available upon request.See more

Cj V. says, "Robert was incredible to work with! He did a great job understanding where I was in my guitar playing journey and tailored our lessons specifically to help me get better. He is extremely knowledgeable as a guitar player and was able to relate to all of the different types of music that I was trying to play. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to further their guitar skills!"See more

Anna L. says, "I've been taking lessons with Ian for over 7 years now. We started in person on ukulele. A year in, Covid came along and we shifted to virtual. I figured I would miss the in person lessons but virtual has been amazing and now I know they can be great if done well- which he does. And it's also nice to not have to leave the house! We have a shared Dropbox folder. He sends files to see and read and even recordings to practice along with in between lessons. Also, a couple years ago, I wanted to shift to guitar and so we did and it was seamless. He took much of what I learned on ukulele and used it to help me understand the guitar better. I still take lessons with Ian to this day and I couldn't recommend him more!"See more

Meredith L. says, "From the very first guitar lesson through Wiingy, Tomas made everything feel approachable and genuinely fun. He’s knowledgeable and clearly passionate about teaching, but what really stands out is how invested he is in your improvement. I truly can’t say enough good things about him and would happily recommend him."See more

Olga R. says, "Andrew has been teaching our teen for 1 year, mixture of virtual and in person lectures. She has made a significant progress after starting guitar lessons with Andrew, without having any prior experience with guitar and now plays several of her favorite songs. She has fun during her lessons and is motivated to play guitar without us having to remind her. Andrew is very easy to communicate with, responds quickly and is accommodating should there be a need to change a lesson last minute. He also has excellent work ethic - always on time and works with us to make sure lessons are given in an environment we are comfortable with given current state of pandemic."See more
