What's Your Angle?

Music is a major part of my everyday – teaching, playing, learning, listening. Lessons are tailored to your goals and interests. I provide materials or we can work out of a book. Let me know what brings you here.
I look forward to exploring music with you.
What People Say
The level of my beginners’ class was perfect. While the students in my class were at different levels of “beginner” (no knowledge of music at all vs strong background in music but new to the instrument), Steve was able to give each student what they needed to learn and improve. I am very pleased at how much I progressed in the 8-week class. I learned to play a number of songs, but more important to me is that I learned how the instrument works, and I learned techniques to continue to improve my playing. I now have an understanding of the notes, strings, and how different types of chords are built on the ukulele, which I was having trouble grasping when I tried to teach myself.
There is opportunity to practice during the lesson, and Steve helpfully points out mistakes and ways to improve your playing. Questions are welcome as well.
Steve is the perfect combination of professional and super chill.
I looked forward to every lesson, and felt accomplished and excited about what I learned after every lesson.
Not only is Steve a great guitarist, and knowledgeable about every aspect of the instrument, but he is also a great instructor, with a really canny sense of when to let you struggle through something and when to jump in and give more instruction. I look forward to our time together every week.
Steve is also familiar with virtually every style of music there is. This versatility, when combined with his skill for instruction and general music talent makes Steve a really excellent find!
He will get you playing immediately, and customizes all of his lessons so you’re not just getting some cookie-cutter lesson that the previous student got. He literally went to school for this!
Steve Siekkinen is a local guitar teacher, a versatile guitarist and musician, with a terrific personality. My wife really enjoyed taking lessons with him.
Steve is very patient and encouraging. Plenty of opportunity for questions and willing to answer the same question more than once!
Steve is very welcoming, encouraging, non-judgmental, everything you would want in a teacher.
Thank you for the great introduction to the ukulele and for all your encouragement! I love being able to play even the very simple songs (I am still a beginner after all). It gives me great personal enjoyment.
[Steve is] calm, confident, skilled and very versatile about all three – instrument, songs, technique… [His] handouts were neat & organized. Steve is calm & attentive. Very professional.
