With a B.M. from Ohio Wesleyan University and an M.M. from Eastman School of Music, I possess extensive knowledge on the psychological and philosophical foundations of musical behavior, garnered over a career spanning more than four decades. My venture into private teaching began in 1976, and I have since taught an array of students - from school-aged to college and adult learners - on Trombone, Trumpet, and Piano. Presently, there are three vacancies in my studio, located in Burlington's O.N.E. district. Witnessing the satisfaction on my students' faces after a good performance or comprehension through playing fills me with immense joy. I take pride in seeing them gradually self-motivate and practice on their own. Payments through credit card and PayPal are accepted via the website.

As an adult, I have had the privilege of taking both piano and voice lessons from Stuart. Moreover, during his younger years, my son also received trumpet lessons from him. Stuart's exceptional understanding of music, his recognition of the connection between neuroscience and honing musical skills, and his knack for cultivating effective practice routines and enhancing musical aptitude have greatly benefited our family. Despite my being an amateur, Stuart has tremendously expanded my enjoyment of playing and listening to music through his guidance and instruction.

For approximately 4 years, I have had the privilege of receiving singing lessons from Stuart Carter. His vast knowledge and expertise, as well as his soothing temperament, have been invaluable. By identifying each student's areas of proficiency and limitations, he creates a customized learning plan that contributes to the individual's overall progress. Stuart's gentle nudging of students outside of their comfort zone often leads to the discovery of hidden potential. I have seen remarkable improvements in all of his pupils, from young kids to mature adults, thanks to his consistent performance training routine. It is my pleasure to offer him my highest recommendation as a music teacher.

My son eagerly looks forward to his piano lessons each week with Mr. Carter as he is an excellent teacher who creates a strong connection with him. I highly recommend Mr. Carter's piano lessons.

Stuart Carter has been teaching my 11-year-old son how to play the trumpet for almost three years now, and the results have been amazing. My son has performed in two recitals already, and he's become a leader in his music classes at school. He's also gained confidence as a performer, and his skills have impressed the middle school band so much that they've invited him to play with them. My son adores the trumpet and enjoys his time with Mr. Carter immensely, and as a parent, I'm grateful for the level of support and encouragement he receives during each lesson. While I attended the lessons with my son during the first year, I now allow him to have one-on-one conversations with his instructor, which has worked wonders for his progress. Mr. Carter also sends emails home with personalized practice strategies that help me stay informed and create an environment that's conducive to healthy and positive practice at home. In sum, we feel incredibly fortunate to have found such a skilled and dedicated instructor in Mr. Carter.
