Scott is a great teacher! He is patient, encouraging, and a bit of a stickler; this is what you want in a guitar teacher! I distinctly remember coming in not knowing my Major Scales and him politely but sternly asking me if I wanted to be good. I respected Scott and his playing so much that I never showed up unprepared again. He could tell that I was into music but I needed that extra kick. Scott also helped me prepare for college auditions which was a huge help! Fast forward twenty years and I am now a full-time Guitar Teacher and Musician living the dream in Southern California. Thank you Scott!!

I enjoy taking lessons at Stancill’s Guitar Studio because the service given here is excellent. From the very beginning I was given the opportunity of playing any type of music I wished, and was taught to understand the music – not just play it. The studio itself is well-equipped with many types of guitars and sound systems, even a repair shop.

As one of Scott's more "senior" students, I can attest that his style works for both young and old. I first met Scott at one of his Harmonica Master Classes, before I even owned a guitar. Several months later, after purchasing my first guitar, Scott was the first call I made, and he helped me learn and enjoy the instrument. I particularly looked forward to his performance opportunities, both recitals and bands.
