What People Are Saying

“Stu is really (REALLY) good at creating a comfortable space where people can explore music and expand their skills naturally. There is no forcing—only encouragement and a clear, joyful path forward. I was blown away by the blazing, energetic community you facilitated. I felt like I came ‘home’ to the heart of where music really comes from.”
— Mary T., Author & Ukulele Enthusiast

"The Ukulele Zen retreat was transformational!  Stu is a gifted musician with a deep vision of how to teach in a way that accommodates all levels. He has an uncanny ability to see the musician in each of us — even those who sometimes are hard-pressed to see it in ourselves. I learned a ton, made meaningful connections, got inspired, and had loads of fun!"

— Bob Merberg, NYC

"Stu’s approach to blending music with breathwork and mindfulness was refreshing, fun, and practical. We appreciated the personal attention and the gentle encouragement to grow, wherever we were in our playing. We highly recommend it!”

— Joe & Carma, New Paltz, NY
