Chef’s Choice

We are here to serve you.

Check out the knowledgable Soul Rock Studio Staff listed below. Our staff are available to provide a free individual lesson or conversation with you as part of your learning journey. While this is not intended to be a regularly scheduled activity, there is no limit to the number of requests students may make. Lessons will be provided as teacher time allows. We can match you with someone who fits your interests or you can request someone specific. We encourage you to try them all over time. Leave us a note in the Tip Jar to tell us what you worked on with your teacher. These lessons can be carried out in the following ways:

  • Online audio/video platform
  • Email us an audio recording & we’ll send back our recorded audio feedback
  • Over the phone
