My wife discovered Sandy Israel (the owner of Stetson Ridge) on Nextdoor and he has been nothing short of amazing. Our 11-year old daughter (a total beginner) is now into her 20th lesson and is fully engaged and learning to play both the guitar and the clarinet. What is different about Sandy is that he knows many instruments and has countless years of teaching experience. He's honed his approach and knows how to keep things fun. He has several different instruments in his studio and so our daughter has been able to dabble on the piano, harmonica, alto sax and soon the drums! This diversity has made for a much richer introduction to music and music making. It has also been way more fun. We actually do two 90-minute lessons per week! We are so grateful we found Sandy. He's changing our daughter's life for the better.
