"Our son has been taking guitar lessons for almost three years and music theory for 1.5 years at Stafford in addition to a session or two of bucket drumming. His teachers have been very focused on not only helping improve his skills but also making the lessons meaningful to him by allowing him choice in songs, styles, and depth. He has established wonderful relationships with multiple instructors and made significant progress in his musical skills." - CH
