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!

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 singing lessons 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!

I have never had singing lessons, 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.

I was contacted within minutes after inquiring about StookU. My lessons with Jacob were scheduled quickly and I have made tremendous progress. Jacob is a top-notch instructor, patient and thorough. I have homework to do after each lesson and can’t wait to show him each time we meet. Highly recommend!
