WHAT ARE PARENTS SAYING?
"I can't believe how much Karsten has progressed in the last year. He's playing confidently and we can recognize the songs he's playing and even sing along when he lets us! As parents we love that Ali is so enthusiastic about the kids and about guitar. For us, online was ideal because it allowed Karsten to get into a lesson spot that otherwise would have been tough with school. It continues to work really well for us as we don't have to tack on travel time and keeps life a little simpler. We can also make it to lessons even if we are out of town." - Alanna
"My 8yr old daughter has been doing online guitar lessons with Ali for about 8 months now. I was a bit skeptical of how online lessons, and a group setting would work for introductory guitar lessons, but It's been great! My daughter loves seeing the other kids online and is learning a lot from them as well. And I love the convenience of doing lessons at home! My daughter was quite hesitant about taking guitar lessons, but has gained a lot of confidence in herself and her skills over the past few months. She has been quite shy about playing for anyone, but is starting to come out of her shell and is excited to share what she's learning. I am so impressed with how much she's learned. Ali has been a great teacher and makes the lessons engaging and fun for the kids. I would highly recommend Ali!" - Shannon
"I sought out Ali Stead Guitar lessons as she had so many great reviews and raves on various platforms, especially in my mom groups on Facebook. Â I was first concerned with online learning mostly just about the holding and handling positions for the guitar and I did not need to be worried at all because Ali does such an amazing job! My son picked up right away and I have seen so much growth since he started and we are only in our 3rd session. I might add that my son was only 5 when he started and I was worried he was too young/small but Ali is so amazing and patient, he has learned so much! I have also noticed my son gain confidence since first starting with Ali and this is so great as he was struggling a bit in that area. He is very proud and loves to play for his friends and family." -Erin
"Joshua has always been a very outgoing young man with the desire and ability to make and keep friends easily. Many of his friends however, were interested in individual and group sports, and Josh has never found anything that truly inspired him or kept him interested. He has always been much more creative and artistic, so we decided to try guitar lessons. The goal was to have Josh learn the fundamentals and grow his music theory. From the first minute he met with Ali, his love for the guitar and music overall, grew. Ali's enthusiasm for her students, her desire to share her knowledge and her patience in their sessions, is bar none. She has made learning so much fun for Josh, that the transition to online learning has been seamless. He practices without prompting to get ready for the Tuesday night lessons and eagerly awaits sharing his ever-increasing ability. Ali is quick to praise the students for a job well done and builds trust with them very easily. We have been taking lessons for a couple of years and there is no end in sight for our family. Josh looks forward to connecting with new and old friends alike during their time together and we feel that although learning the craft is very individual, the students will challenge and encourage one another every week. Although Josh has always been confident, since starting with Ali, he has really blossomed in maturity and independence. Thank you Ali for being such a blessing in our life and both a wonderful friend and teacher to Joshua!" - Jennifer
