She is an exceptional teacher who is knowledgeable, kind and patient. Lessons are fun, interesting and stress-free. She understands that everyone learns in a different way so can accommodate any student. I love that Colleen plays and sings in a working band, so also understands that aspect of music. I highly recommend Colleen as a music instructor!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Baldwin Music offers a friendly, relaxed learning environment at a very reasonable cost.<br \/>\nMy instructor is not only well versed in music theory and playing methods, but is also very encouraging and patient with my learning pace. I highly recommend Baldwin Music!<br \/>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ~ S. Canter<\/p>\n<p>My daughter took her first guitar lessons with Colleen when she was in middle school.<br \/>\nI noticed how quickly she learned to play songs and how well she played. I asked Colleen if she would consider teaching adults and she said \u201cI\u2019ll teach anyone who wants to learn.\u201d I have now been a guitar student of Colleen Craven\u2019s for more than 10 years.<br \/>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ~ T. Fiskum<\/p>\n<p>I would highly recommend Baldwin Music for guitar lessons. I have been taking lessons with Colleen once a week for about 4 years and have made much progress towards my goal of having a repertoire of songs that I can easily play. Where else can you have a great time and learn a skill that will continue to give you enjoyment for years to come!<br \/>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ~ T. Rayner<\/p>\n<p>Colleen has helped me enormously in the proper mechanics and technique of guitar<br \/>\nplaying. She has also opened up to me, in a very enjoyable way, to the world of reading<br \/>\nmusic and music theory. Finally, she has been a great help in enriching the interpretation of songs I already know and songs I want to learn. I believe she could be a real help to a<br \/>\nmusician of almost any level, from beginner to professional.<br \/>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ~ T.
