I picked up my bass guitar after years of it sitting in the case. I was blessed to find Stan. Stan isn't by the book music instructor. Stan creates a lesson plan according to the students desires and needs. Stan is very patient and loves to teach. Not only is Stan my instructor I consider a great friend.
Never give up on the dream. If you can dream it you can play it

Learning the classical guitar under Stan has been a rewarding and fulfilling experience. He covers the technical, theoretical and interpretive aspects of musicianship. He gives the student the freedom to explore their musical interests, where ever they may lead. He inspires the student to develop to their full ability, regardless of talent level.

I began taking my lessons from Stan when I was 14 years old and ended when I graduated from HS. I'm 41 now, and more so than ever can I see the genuine quality of teaching Stan gave to me during those 4 years.

After entering the Navy at 18, I was able to immediately see the difference between other guitarists and myself. Some guitar players I encountered may have understood "the how" aspect of doing something, but didn't understand "the why" aspect of it.

Today, when I teach my students, I follow suit with Stan's methods as he did with me and I take great joy in unlocking the mystery for other guitar players who are technically advanced, but lacking the understanding in the same way Stan Williams did for me all those years ago.

My only regret was not having the discipline and maturity in those early years to truly draw from Stan in a manner which would have added to my understanding to an even greater depth.

Teaching is an art, and Stan is da Vinci.

The saying that you can't teach an old dog new tricks has been proven false with Stan as an instructor. My primary music background was with the trombone in my early years. Several years ago I purchased a nice Martin and needed some one to teach me how to hold, play and read the music. A short time later, I could play scales and then chords. It was fun to play duets with him from music of the 60's and 70's. Stan has the patience of a saint and made the instruction fun. Thank you Stan.

Have done several recording sessions with Stan and had awesome experiences both times. He is fun to work with and has the knowledge and experience to make you sound the best!! He was honest during my sessions and very flexible with my schedule. Would recommend him to anyone.

Stanley is a gifted musician and teacher. He took me from knowing a few simple chords to composing and recording my original music. He teaches with joy and empowers every learner. As an elementary teacher, I have referred many students to Stan. Young and old blossom under his unique and effective teaching methods. One becomes motivated to be the best musician possible just to see him smile with pride at your accomplishment.

Stan is simply the best guitar and music teacher around. Not only can he successfully instruct any skill level, his methods are adaptable and easy to understand. With his solid background in composition, years of evolving his methods, and absolute mastery of every aspect of technique, theory, song writing, and engineering, he is always the best choice. If he has an opening, take it. You won't regret it.

We have had the privilege of having Stan teach our 15 year old daughter for close to 2 years now and could not be happier with the experience. There are too many great things to list so I will just say you will not be disappointed with his teaching manner and the learning experience he offers. My daughter has come so far with her playing, music understanding, and has gained so much confidence in her playing.
Highly recommend Stan for lessons!

Stan is a wonderful teacher! He helped broaden my understanding of music theory and helped me refine my technique. In addition to this, he's got a sweet studio set up and will help you record and master any music you want to put out there. I highly recommend him!
