Very professional, knows how to make learning enjoyable. It’s a pleasure working with someone who takes time to teach the proper way to play a guitar, and help you reach your goals.

Both my sons take drum lessons from Lael. He was recommended to us by a local music teacher. They absolutely love it. They have learned so much and look forward to their lesson each week. Lael makes it fun and engaging. I can’t say enough good things about what he gives to the experience of learning. I would highly recommend him.

I've been a student for a few years now and my guitar playing has improved tremendously. Before lessons, I touched my guitar once in a blue moon. Now I get restless if I go a few days without playing. I have learned a lot about the fretboard and music theory, which has given me the confidence to not only learn more songs, but try things beyond what's written in the tabs, as well as learn songs by ear and try out improvising and soloing. It's clear that Ryan is passionate about teaching guitar, and I appreciate that he encourages me to step out of my comfort zone. I recommend taking lessons if you want to hold yourself accountable and gain a deeper understanding of guitar.

Caleb is kind and patient with me (I’m an adult learner) and it’s so much fun! So happy with my choice to start lessons with Grand Staff; highly recommend!

I love the environment here and I always have such an amazing experience working with my coach. I would recommended them to anybody looking for great vocal lessons, no matter your experience!

Denny's approach to guitar lessons is very effective and it was an incredible learning experience for me. Unlike my former music teachers, Denny's lessons had their foundations in music theory. Instead of learning different songs I may have wanted to play, Denny's lessons taught me how to play guitar more freely and confidently, knowing how to translate what I wanted to hear to the frets. He was very professional, friendly, encouraging, and truly cared about seeing me improve. I always left feeling excited to get home and practice. I would recommend him to anyone who truly wants to learn to play guitar.

Excellent teacher, performer, and musician. Very professional and I would highly recommend to anyone at any level of playing.

I have been working with Mark as an adult for about two years and am thrilled with the progress he has helped me to achieve. Having previously taken 7+ years of on-again, off-again lessons as both a child and an adult, I was forever frustrated that I knew technically "how to play" the piano; but, practically speaking, I couldn't really play anything that interested me very well at all. Mark quickly got to the bottom of that and taught me what I never learned before... "how to practice"!!! He patiently and encouragingly broke everything down with me to the most basic of practice steps to master each song one layer and measure at a time. For me, everything else failed, but this is working. We've gotten through Claire de' Lune are now rounding the corner with Beethoven's Pathetique. Thank you, Mark!
