I was having trouble finding the right teacher until we met Blackwell in carpenter. She helped my son learn drop D tuning and play beginner rock riffs, all while being a fun and encouraging tutor.

Jazz sessions with Blackwell were something else. We’ve been diving into modes and chord extensions, and I’m learning things I used to think were too hard. she really pushes you in a good way. Definitely one of the best in Fulton Ranch.

As someone living in Brooklyn, finding the right guitar coach was a challenge, until I came across Blackwell . Her approach is both encouraging and technically sharp. With her guidance, I recently uploaded my first complete guitar cover, and it feels like a huge milestone!

Being from Pleasant Street Historic District, I enrolled in Blackwell classes. She made jamming over blues tracks accessible and genuinely fun, even for a late beginner like me.
