I’ve been taking classes with Stooku for almost a year now and I can say it has been one of the best experiences within a learning environment I have ever had. I take singinglessons and the amount of knowledge I had learned from the first few sessions was astounding, not only did Stooku immediately partner me with a perfect Teacher/Coach, but everyday was something new for me to learn and expand my skills. Throughout my learning journey I have learned the fundamentals, different styles, and even been challenged in ways to make my own voice flourish. I can’t recommend Stooku enough for anyone looking to learn more about their own voice and to up their skills musically!

This isn't enough praise I can give to the team at Stooku. My son was a little hesitant about online lessons. But after the first lesson with Danny, he loved It. So, when trying to schedule I wasn't able to afford $70 each week but here you guys go again with another assist! Found a discount so I could afford these lessons! The qualifications of the teachers is top tier- not just some guy who knows a few songs. I can not express enough how grateful and google should offer ten stars or even a million because you guys take the cake and deserve it. Struggle single parent trying to give their kid ever opportunity and I cannot thank you all enough for providing something that may seem so simple. It means the world to me!!!

I have never had singinglessons, but decided to try StookU. They listen to my needs and experience and set me up with a great vocal coach. Earl was very professional and thoughtful. He knew when to listen and went to push me, knowing that I was new to this and nervous about singing, it’s been a great experience. I recommend them if you’re looking for a good vocal coach.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
60min: $50
I have a variable pricing structure based off of what you’re willing to commit to. Weekly, monthly, and quarterly payments are available and are all setup to make your experience as seamless as possible.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The first step is to have an open conversation about what your goals and needs are. I'll discuss how I like to approach our lessons based on your current skill level and adjust regularly to ensure we're always on the right track. I'm a firm believer in communication, so I often ask for feedback and opinions of how I'm doing and how your progress is coming along.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I've played music my whole life, more or less. I played in an orchestra for many years and learned music theory/composition. I began to play guitar over 10 years ago and have put in thousands of practice hours, earning my experience in technique and theory.
