Stu teaches ukulele, guitar, bass, banjo and mandolin and is available for lessons every day except Friday (A man's gotta have a day off!).

"Local ukulele legend" (in his own mind) Stu Kindle started off his musical career playing bassoon in orchestra and quickly moved into jazz percussion and bass.  Stu went on to study classical bassoon and music theory in his college years. 

He has since adapted his years of musical experience into pursuing the ukulele as his primary instrument, with a focus in Gypsy Jazz, Jazz, as well as good old rock and roll! 

Check out his music here. 

Stu also enjoys snack foods, arm wrestling, and hilarious vests!

Grant graduated from Radford University in 2016 when he received his Bachelor of Science in Music Performance. During his time there he studied classical guitar, lute, bagpipes, and played in several cities across Brazil with the Radford University Honors Guitar Quartet. In addition to his former studies he also enjoys playing ukulele, electric guitar, and Irish tenor banjo.


His teaching style is very much tailored to the interests and idiosyncrasies of the student, resulting in a progression of lessons that is structured yet flexible. All styles and levels of playing are welcome!

Grant currently offers lessons in guitar, ukulele, bass, and recorder, but there will be more to come!
