MUSIC LESSONS
NEW TOWN, ST. CHARLES
Welcome to My Music Studio!
Hey Friend! I am so excited you are interested in becoming one of my music students! I have been teaching lessons privately since 2017 and I am thrilled to continue building my studio to this day. My passion is to help individuals discover their own personal voice in music and to realize their own full potential as a musician and an artist. Every human is given unique gifts. Every voice is different. Every hand is different. And boy does that make teaching music fun!! It means that I get to help students be totally themselves and not try to be anyone else!
I believe that a combination of practical music theory and ear training is essential to helping students become the best musicians. All lessons will include music theory and ear training mixed in with the primary instrument of the students choosing.
What I Teach:
“Our family’s experience with Stuart has been nothing but positive. He’s professional, experienced, an incredibly talented musician, and he’s figured out how to balance the disciplines of learning music theory with a whole lot of fun and creative ways to engage his students.”
Charis Rowland (Parent of Two Former Students)
What to Expect:
Lesson Length: 30 minutes for students 11 years or younger, 45 minutes for students 12 years or older. (There is no price difference regardless of how long lessons last.)
Daily practice time is an essential part of the process and is absolutely necessary for any student to see growth and progress in their skill level. All students are expected to practice at least 30 minutes every day with the exception of a rest day.
“Stuart is an excellent teacher and a true professional. He is incredibly talented and well versed at his craft but puts his knowledge in packaging that even the most inexperienced person can understand. He’s patient and makes the learning and creative process really fun. I loved my time underneath his teaching!”
Micah Bartig (Former Student)
