Success Stories

I have been taking lessons from Leanne for over 2 years. As an adult student, I decided to fulfill my interest in music by learning to play the guitar ...Learning guitar was a wonderful change of pace for me. Le is willing to work with you to meet your musical goals. Whether it be reading music, performing, or just acquiring the knowledge to play a few songs - you will learn!! (Jessica C., student)

My experience with a previous teacher was fair. The teacher was more interested in teaching me the theory and individual notes. I took lessons from her for about 3-4 months and never got anywhere. I couldn't play anything nor could I understand any kind of rhythm. She never "practiced" with me and that was a huge issue!! I now can play a few simple songs and understand different rhythm patterns. [Leanne has] always given me good advice on how to improve my problem areas!My experience with [her] lessons has been very positive! I have a good foundation to go by now to improve greatly. (Ginny H., student)

It is a pleasure to watch how Ms. Regalla is able to bring light to her guitar students. Somewhere amidst their learning of technique and theory the students play through the entire song - not just the various notes and phrases within. She crafts her lessons to take her students to the specific goals the student has in mind in methods of performance, better understanding of their music, and effective technique. The final result is a student who has the passion and skills to perform from their very first lesson. (Bob Banerjee)

Leanne Regalla's goal in teaching guitar is to bring out the best in her students. She expertly lays down a solid foundation of technique in all students. This allows the student to pursue any genre they prefer from acoustic to heavy metal. Leanne is patient, kind, and excellent with students of all ages. She has created a supportive environment for her students to learn the instrument as well as learn key strategies for performing with confidence. She has even set up a performance practice space within her studio, complete with a sound system for practice with microphones. It's rare to find a teacher who goes the extra 5 miles for her students - Leanne is one of those teachers! (Donna Zitzelberger)

Hi Leanne,
Meg did a great job, considering this was her first time singing and playing in front of a crowd...
Thank you for helping her out the way you did. You are a really good teacher, and Meg is fortunate to be with Amazing Cool Music.
