SOME STUDENT FEEDBACK
“Randy is professional, organized, patient, and encouraging. He has a sense of humor and listens to your comments and your requests. He will work with you to make you a better musician, whether that means technique, practice skills, or musicality.”
Carol W, Philadelphia, PA
“Randy Stein is an exceptionally positive teacher. Whenever I have difficulty playing a piece he finds some aspect of my playing I did well and points that out first. This uplifts the lesson, allows me to relax a little more and then play better as the lesson progresses. I always feel more confident in my playing abilities by the end of each lesson.”
Richard R, Portland, OR
“For the past 3 ½ years I have been a student of Randy and continue to have the same enthusiasm I had when we started. Randy is incredibly intuitive to my musical needs and is a wonderful and patient instructor. I recommend him to anyone just starting out with the English Concertina or anyone who has been playing for years.”
Susan G, Key Largo, FL

He is attentive to all the technical details of playing as well as to musicianship, challenging me with pieces in a variety of genres. My lessons and practice bring me the great joy not only of making music, but also of growing as I learn and improve new skills.”

“As a teacher, Randy is inspiring - I trust in his judgement to feed me music that can stretch me in the appropriate direction, without over-stretching me, so retaining my enthusiasm. I’ve made significant progress under his guidance so I feel confident and ready to make some more.”
