What I dislike is that there wasn't any real curriculum, just a book that we were told to purchase that doesn't explain anything-and he was expected to play without being told anything. Again, I taught him some things, so he was able to play from the book, but what if I hadn't taught him anything? Then what? I have a friend whose child attends there. Her other child attends Ted Brown. She never mentions anything about Cappella but goes on about how good Ted Brown is. That's curious. I know that Cappella produces wonderful results, I'm just not sure how, as this was not the case for us.

He went above and beyond to assist me after regular business hours even though he knew I was not going to buy anything from his business. I truly appreciate Rick's friendliness, the education he provided me, and his willingness to help me understand more as a newbie. When I'm ready for additional or upgraded equipment, I will definitely seek him out!

Wonderful experience using Celestial Instruments to do a setup on an 82 Ibanez M310. Great customer…read moreservice, punctual drop off and pick up and quick turnaround. The guitar had been resting in its stand for many years without the attention it deserved. So sad. I have recently been inspired to play again and found that it was difficult to keep the guitar in tune. I recalled that when it was setup back in the 90's it resulted in an incredible sound and performance. It's back! Now I can strum my acoustic with great joy! Ha ha!

I have taking guitar lessons with Alex on and off for the last few years (off while I was pregnant…read moreand raising an infant during the height of COVID-19) and I will never want to find a different guitar teacher! Alex is AWESOME. I am not impressed by most people and I don't find most people very interesting but Alex is both impressive and interesting. I love his comprehensive Dropbox full of sheet music for his students which he regularly adds new material to. Alex has a great Google Doc "lesson journal" which works very well for him to summarize lessons and give homework and for me to take notes, jot down questions, etc. Alex has real answers to my questions and really personalizes the lessons to what I want to learn. I imagine that I'm not a typical guitar student and some may even consider me "difficult" (because I'm very curious and I want to study and understand everything) but Alex takes it all in stride and builds off of it. Alex is delightful! I can't wait until my son is older so he can go take piano lessons.

Alex connects with him very well. He can capture his attention and teach him in a way that he loves learning. I knew from the first lesson that this was a good fit for my son. His communication, organization skills, and lesson planning is phenomenal! My son has an online lesson plan that is updated every week and helps him to stay on track for learning. The assignments are easy and fun for my son to follow. We highly recommend Step By Step Music!
