Hello I'm Stephen
I have been teaching guitar since 2021 And I have helped many students reach their guitar goals
I have taught students to:
Play Their Favorite Songs – Break down and learn real songs, not just exercises.
Improvise With Confidence – Learn to speak music freely through soloing and jamming.
Build a Musical Identity – Find their unique voice on the guitar through guided exploration.
Play With Others – Gain real-world ensemble experience and musical communication skills.

Stephen is an outstanding teacher and takes time to ensure you understand what he is trying to teach. I am a senior adult taking up gutair which would be challenging for most teachers. To him my ability to learn is no different than someone decades younger. His attention to detail has been the driving force to help me learn. His belief in me has motivated me to learn in spite of obsticals. I could not have a more excellent teacher.Posted on Google brenda larsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chordstorm Guitar School has been great for my daughters. They took lessons with a different teacher for over a year and couldn't play, but a couple months in at Chordstorm and they are starting to strum beats and play songs. They have really enjoyed the encouraging teaching approach and look forward to leasons.Posted on Google Quientella BonnerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been taking guitar lessons from Stephen Gould for approximately 2 1/2 years. I have learned how to play chords which moved me quite quickly to play sing-a-long songs. In learning how to play these songs, it has brought so much enjoyment and fun for me and my friends! Stephen is so patient and encouraging. He also challenges me to improve by placing emphasis on small increment time frame practices which helps me to improve. Stephen is a knowledgeable instructor who teaches with enthusiasm and passion. Check him out!Posted on Google Mike BarrTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Steve is an excellent instructor. His lessons are very well-structured and fun with presentations and hands-on-practice. The lessons are simple yet very effective. He is skilled at breaking down complex techniques into easy-to-understand steps in the guitar learning process. For example, with musical elements like melody, harmony, and lyrics he breaks each down with tools to further advance your skills- like playing melodies that fit into chords, chord progressions that cause tension or resolve, scales and modes that have moods, lyrics with musical structure like rhythm and rhyme, and contrast. He calls music a language and shows you how to play the guitar to communicate your emotion or what you feel or want listeners to feel. He lets you be who you want to be on your musical journey! If you really love a song and want to learn play it, Steve will break it down for you, verse by verse, chorus, bridge - key, chords, capo, etc. You can observe while he plays and instructs. In short, it is exciting to learn from Steve, and he will set you guitar playing in motion, just like music! I've learned so much from him.Posted on Google Jeffrey PicTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Steve is a great guitar teacher. Far beyond those I've experience before. Knowledgeable, patience, and genuinely enjoys teacher guitar.Posted on Google Marvin GriceTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I liked the way the lesson was presented in a visual and aural way for one to learn. I feel that if anyone takes lessons with Stephen and applies in practice what he teaches, it will be well worth it. I do recommend taking lessons with him.
