WHAT STUDENTS SAY

“I started taking private guitar lessons from Steve as a beginner in middle school.  His instruction made learning the guitar very enjoyable and enabled me to work with music I wanted to learn while developing the skills I needed to succeed in music long-term.  I continued with guitar lessons through high school and was accepted into a competitive university music program, where I was placed a year ahead of my class in music theory courses.  I never would have gone as far as I did with my guitar playing and music if it weren’t for Steve’s guitar instruction.”

– Michael Thompson

“Guitar instructor Steve Langemo launched my daughters’ passion for guitar playing, bass playing, and live performance.  Steve’s ability to teach solid instrumental technique combined with his willingness to work creatively and personally with both girls instilled a high level of confidence and commitment in them.  They both currently play in an indie-rock trio with their third sister on drums. They have released a full-length CD and have just finished their first cross country tour.  Much credit for their musical progression goes directly to Steve as a teacher.  His vision, his patience, and his ability to impart some of his amazing guitar skills to two unlikely young girls has had a life-altering impact on them both.”

– Anne Rasmussen

 

“Steve Langemo’s guitar instruction turned me into an open-minded guitar player and musician that I never envisioned I could become. His instruction provided comprehensive guitar skills for practical application in any musical scenario that I still employ today in my own original music, guitar playing, gigging, and in my own guitar teaching.”

– Tim Hoffelt

 

“I started taking lessons from Steve in early 2015. I’ve been playing for quite some time, but recently decided to focus on jazz. During the first lesson Steve quickly got a feel for my abilities and needs, and by the time I left I had enough information to construct rootless major, minor, and dominant 7th chords based on understanding. His lessons continue to be concise and applicable. Learning jazz can be a daunting process, but Steve helps to see through some of the mystery and hype.”

– Andrew Leitzel

“Steve taught me everything I know about music and guitar.  He was my guitar teacher from when I was a beginner as a kid until I was 16 (at which point he unfortunately moved).  Steve could always help me and give me the right instruction no matter what I needed: theory, jazz, chords, rhythm, metal, fingerstyle—he knows it all.  Steve not only taught me about my instrument, but helped me to love the guitar like I do today.  I’d recommend Steve as a guitar teacher for music students at any level.”

– Cameron Carr
