“When I first started searching for classes for my son, a toddler at the time, I never imagined I would find Tucson Music Lessons. I had seen a natural proclivity for music and rhythm in my son, and I sought instructors whom would tap into his natural curiosity and develop his love and skill for music. Past experiences with music lessons pale in comparison to what you have been able to offer my son. I have seen him evolve in his understanding and respect for music in ways that surpassed my expectations. Not only does he have a deeper appreciation for the music he hears, but he also understands and respects the work and passion that goes into making music. His natural curiosity has transformed into confidence, excitement, and an outlet for expression. You have taught him more than the foundations of music; you have taught him how to develop a sense of who he is and self expression. Thank you for your continued nurturing through music. ” –Rachael Helfrick, Ed.D, Parent

“Stuart is an amazing teacher, before I started getting lessons from him I had no idea what I could do musically, but once I found him he showed me how to play and brought me so much further in the music world!”–Brady Arffa, Bassist

“My 10 year old son, Ryan has gained so much knowledge and enjoyment learning the drums! Stuart has done an amazing, thorough job of teaching, challenging and encouraging him.” –Karen Martinez, Parent

“They really make the kids feel comfortable in trying out new things. They encourage but don’t push. I’m looking forward to seeing my son’s continued growth in talent and love for music. I know we will get that with Tucson Music Lessons.” –Dyan Olsen, Parent

I was nervous to learn guitar as an adult, but am so glad I did and that I chose to learn from Stuart. He is a kind and patient teacher who makes lessons fun and engaging. We learn at a pace that is comfortable for me based on my goals. Lessons are done by Zoom which makes it convenient for my schedule. I have fun each week learning new material and techniques. I love being able to choose songs that I like and submit them to be used for our lessons. I would recommend Stuart for anyone looking to have a personalized, challenging, and encouraging learning experience.

I am 66 years old and I wanted to learn how to play the acoustic guitar. I found Tucson Music Lessons and contacted Stuart Smith about taking lessons and started 5 months ago. Stuart is a fantastic teacher. All lessons are on zoom and it works out wonderfully. I can set up and tune my guitar before lessons start. Stuart is upbeat and has such a positive attitude. He tailors lesson with your abilities and how you are progressing. There are times I feel discouraged and down about my progress, but after lessons I feel better about myself and continuing on. If you are interested in music I would highly recommend Tucson Music Lessons.

The best musical lessons in Tucson by far! My son is a special needs student with a great love of music. Stuart is an amazing and patient teacher, my son looks forward to his music lesson every week, and is learning scales and octaves above and beyond for a child his age. My son is engaged in the lesson the entire time, thanks to the teacher’s enthusiasm and dedication to the learning style of the individual student. Lessons with this music school are so rewarding!!! Very highly recommended!
