Stephanie

A Guitar Is a Friend For Life

I can help you make this most fascinating and mysterious instrument your own! When you feel comfortable playing, you practice more, learn more, and have more fun. Beginning lessons focus on finding easy ways to get around a guitar, learning songs you like, and understanding basic music theory through familiar examples.

Patient, thoughtful, attentive. As a teacher, Stephanie has the qualities desired by any musician and improviser, namely, the ability to listen, be attuned to the situation/student, and to offer the appropriate response/guidance. As an adult learner, returning to musical instruction after many years, I presented Stephanie with a unique challenge. Through several months of lessons, she's appraised my abilities, reoriented my approach to rehearsal and clarified a path toward future development. Highly recommended for students of all levels of musicianship.

Positive and patient, reliable and responsive, Stephanie's love of music shines through in every moment of her work as a teacher. She has begun without a pick, chosen simple but good songs to start and I think that's great. After taking weekly lessons for three months, my child loves to practice and is playing songs fluidly. That says more than anything to me about her teacher.

I am a foreigner and adult. I've been learning with Stephanie for only few months and my guitar skills have been much improved. Stephanie is a really kind and patient mentor, I've been living in this country for only few years and speaking is still a problem for me sometimes, but Stephanie understands me very well. She is also very patient and tries to make you understand the right playing way many times until you really got it. Not only have my guitar skills improved but also my music knowledge. She is really a master of it!

I had my first guitar lesson with Stephanie last week. I am an absolute beginner (I did not even now how to hold a guitar correctly up until my first lesson), so I was a little nervous. Stephanie made me feel at ease, and as a result I was able to learn several chords in our only an hour long lesson. I am very excited about my next lesson and look forward to working with Stephanie.
