About
Why learn with me? Because I care, and because I have so much to offer. Custom Lesson Plans Recordings of your lessons E-Practice folder (diagrams, audio/video, exercises, etc.) Basics and Foundations Technique/Skill  Advanced Theory Fretboard Navigation Songwriting Recording Methods Equipment/Gear knowledge Continuous Student Support When I take on a new student I create a custom lesson plan tailored to you and your needs using a methodology I’ve developed over the years. Not only that, but I offer so much more outside of the lesson itself! Sadly I still hear stories of musicians being frustrated with progress or feeling discouraged to continue. Whether you’re just starting out, or you’re looking to break that plateau I am here to help!  HOW TO GET STARTED: Shoot me a message and we’ll set up a time to talk about your goals and answer any questions you have. Generally a 10m conversation helps us figure out the best steps to take! I’m quick to respond and I’m generally available to talk!  I look forward to hearing from you!

The StookU team designs a program to meet student's individual needs. Pricing is transparent. The lessons are held virtually and the 1:1 experience is amazing with the instructor able to hear the student's voice and give immediate feedback. I am so glad I found StookU. Dierra is my instructor and she is AMAZING! The thing I like most is that the goal is to help singers find their sound versus sounding like someone else. I I had a simple goal - I wanted to sound good with my church choir. My choir director said he could hear a difference in my singing after just a few lessons. I highly recommend this group.

Sam and the team have been great so far! My husband wanted to start piano lessons as his New Year’s resolution and Sam called us right away to get him started and set up his first lesson. His teacher is awesome and exactly what my husband has been looking for. Thank you!

Sam put me at ease about taking guitar lessons at my age. He paired me with an amazing teacher that fit my personality and music taste. I wish I would have done this much sooner. Fantastic experience with Sam
