I’m 54 a year old woman and a total novice with respect to reading music and playing any musical instrument. Recently, I decided it was something I wanted to learn so I picked up a guitar and googled a list of instructors. Started working with Tom Stroll at MindfulMusicLessons. By the first phone conversation I was asked a few questions about skill level, if any and my musical muses. From there Tom was able to formulate the perfect approach toward a starting point geared specifically for me. The lessons have been wonderful as Tom is very patient, kind and intuitive. The homework is of the caliber that makes real progress possible. I appreciate Tom expecting a lot from me even though I just started learning guitar from basically nothing. It’s easy to be pigeonholed by age or beginner status and do three lessons of scales and nursery rhymes. But instead Tom believed in my ability to meet a set goal with a curated theme geared towards my own interests. I’m very glad I’ve started up with Tom and would absolutely recommend him to anyone interested in honing existing skills or taking the plunge with something brand new and intimidating. Tom can bring out the best in you. -Christine

As a theory teacher, Patrick Kreeger possesses the exact teaching style the subject requires. Patience, availability for questions and dedication to my desire to learn best define my experience with Patrick. It was such dedication that also made him call me out when he didn’t think I was doing my best or was making careless mistakes. Perhaps this wouldn’t be that outstanding except that Patrick did all of this long distance; he was in Philadelphia and I was in Delaware. He was timely in mailing me assignments and tests, and even more so in grading and returning them. I learned more from him in the 2 years I studied with him than I did in my last year of theory in my undergrad at music school. If you have the opportunity to study with Patrick Kreeger, consider yourself lucky. You couldn’t find better quality teaching elsewhere.”

I have taken 3 lessons with Dylan so far and I am really enjoying them. He is very good at picking up on what level I am at and how to push me without being harsh. He makes sure I am playing correctly before moving on and gives good practice exercises. It's a lot of fun to learn with Dylan and he takes the time to really look and listen to me playing and provide feedback which is the whole point of one on one lessons. He is very knowledgeable about music and very humble. He handwrites the tabs for lessons which is totally awesome. Looking forward to keep learning from him.

In a matter of a few short months, I already feel so much more comfortable and confident in my piano playing. Thank you Jonathan! Highly recommended!!

Gaby is super fun and easy-going. I found her way teaching music both informative, but also easy to understand and I am so proud of the song she helped me finish!
