About John

Inspired by my grandfather teaching classical guitar and both watching my father and uncle teach. Musical family. I'm a third-generation teacher.

I’m an honors grad from Atlanta Institute of Music. I professionally perform for all types of events and have been doing so since 1993.

About the lesson

Ask how they are first. Name notes on the guitar, review scales, chords and a quick song to get started. Look at the log and talk about growth on the instrument, review the last lesson set goals.

Lots of levels. From 4 years old to 80, teachers and guitar teachers, blind, challenged and took notes on all of their progress which constructed exercises for newer students and they got stronger in their weakness. I specialize in the beginner to the intermediate though. That is where my main student abundance is.

There are teachers who love what they do and there are performers who should just focus on performing. Talk with the instructor and get to know them very well. They should come to your car and brag on your child after a lesson once in a while instead of asking your kid to bring a check with them. Don't be afraid to ask, Why does the teacher want to teach your child?

I have a couple of classical guitar quartets. One got to do music in between parts if The Lowcountry Hall of Fame awards at the Hanahan Amphitheater held by Michael Davis ( owner of Ye Olde Music, Hanahan). The group got to perform in front of a larger audience instead of the Ladson Fair or the churches downtown or the restaurants that I perform. The kids were happy! It was a great experience and they have a memory of hard work being paid off. More where that came from.

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Why am I studying this? How long is this going to take to be good? How much should I practice? How long have you been playing? How much is your guitar? I did exactly what you did why don't I sound like you? I'm not ready for this lesson so should I cancel today's lesson?

My daughter has been taking lessons for about 6 months and her abilities are amazing. She loves John and he is so accommodating and professional. My 12 year old daughter went from never holding a guitar to playing songs and singing almost every night. Amazing.

I enjoy learning from Mr. Stockdale because he has tons of experience and has been teaching for a long time. He knows what he's talking about and he doesn't give you the ability to play one song, he gives you the ability to play any song.
