I brought my own strings and the guy had no clue how to fix the instrument and wasted my time trying to. He then suggested I should learn guitar and wanted me to sign up for guitar lessons. No thanks, I'm good. He then rips out his guitar and starts playing "guess what song I'm playing" and when he forgets the lyrics, I supply them. What the fuck am I doing here? Did I sign up for an open mic show? Is this guy tripping? As an added bonus, they ask all kinds of personal questions as you try to figure out your easiest escape. There is a guy out front that keeps on walking back and forth in front of the store. This is creepy. They push the guitar lessons again and find a way to insult me, maybe because I don't want to take his guitar lessons? Then he gives me his number so I can be sure to call to sign up for the lessons. With you? Are you out of your mind? Yes, you are out of your mind. And I know the safest thing for me to do with someone like that, is not to get angry, just humor him and GTF outta there asap. Longer than I thought it would take, but I'm still here living to tell the tale. And I won't be back.

As an adult student, I…read morecame to him at my own skill level, and for several years now he has helped me steadily grow and improve. I'm thrilled with my progress as a violinist and can't imagine studying with anyone else at this point. One of Stan's greatest gifts as a teacher is the way he demonstrates music. When he plays, he expresses it so vividly that I can see, feel, and hear exactly what he means. Those moments stay with me, and I'm able to draw on them during my practice, which makes his lessons especially impactful. His teaching will stay with me for the rest of my life. I also want to mention Dina, who helps organize the schedule at Newton Violin Studio. She is wonderful--always responsive and helpful when changes come up. I'm grateful for her support in keeping everything running smoothly. I can't recommend Stan and the Newton Violin Studio highly enough.
