Stan is the ultimate music geek. And I mean that in the BEST way possible!! His musical talent is matched by his knowledge of music as a discipline. He demonstrates a true personal commitment to his students and is an outstanding instructor. I highly recommend Stan if you're seeking music instruction.

My 5 year old son has been taking guitar lessons for almost 2 years and it has been amazing to see him learning and developing. Stan is extremely professional and knowledgeable in his field. He is an amazing instructor to be able to teach a child as young as my son how to focus and learn musically. My son truly enjoys his music lessons.

Stan uses his skills as an accomplished musician to not only instruct students but to instill a love of learning about music. He is able to work with each student's needs and interests to provide outstanding music education. Stan offers many different types of music lessons but it is his patience, talent and unique teaching style that set him apart from other music instructors.

The best thing about learning music with Stan Munslow is that he's about five times smarter than most people. He knows everything about music and he can explain things in ways that make sense.

My children love their piano and guitar lessons with Stan Munslow. The song selections, the "extras" (songwriting, improvisation, and figuring out music from CDs), the caliber and extent of Stan's knowledge and experience, and his gentleness and patience with my son and daughter are greatly appreciated.

I'm finally out of those closet sized cubicles in the back of the music store and in a real studio, studying with a very experienced and talented pro.

Stan provides a fun-filled, engaging environment for music instruction. His wonderful, age-appropriate interaction with students allows them to really enjoy their lessons and feel confident as they learn. Highly recommended.

Stan's enthusiasm is infectious. I am quite impressed by the range of both technical and historic knowledge presented in a single lesson. These are not ordinary lessons!

We couldn't be happier with our decision to bring our sons to you for piano lessons. They have really blossomed and their appreciation for music has grown now that they can make music instead of just listening. Your mix of classical, jazz and modern pieces is a great way to expose them to everything. Your manner with our sons is very patient and kind. The annual recital is a very nice event. Many thumbs up.

Stan knows how to establish rapport with young children. He meets my children where they are at and makes it fun for them. It's not simply drills and rote. He helps them to feel the music more inside of themselves, which helps them to produce more meaningful music.
