As you all should know, in July I will be moving to New York to pursue my master’s degree at the Aaron Copland School of Music.
I would greatly appreciate if you could write a few words, about your experiences with me as your teacher over the last few years. We’ve had a great time working together, noone can tell the stories better than you and I’d love to share them with my future students in NY and around the world.
Tell the world about what you’ve learned, or a funny story from one of our student performances.
Just write it in the comment box below. Please be sure to sign your name, age and how long we’ve been working together.
Thanks!
Scott
For the past six years I have instructed hundreds of music students in Salem and Christiansburg, VA. I can truly say that I’ve learned as much as I’ve taught. Thank you all!

Three years ago i remember going to a yard sale. At that yard sale i got an ok First Act guitar for sixty five dollars. In my almost four years with Scott he has been able to transform myself from only being able to strum random notes to playing through a song perfectly.
Who knows where I would be without Scotts guidance.

I took guitar lessons from another teacher 4 years ago and hated it. Two years ago I started up again taking from Scott and I love guitar so much more than I did. Thanks for the good times!

I remember in a band intro class in 6th grade, our band director called me up to try to play the trumpet. That was when i knew it was my thing. Im glad i got to take lessons with scott. I doubt i will ever find as good a trumpet teacher as scott because he gets you involved im performances and gives you an initial idea of what its really like. And I also appreciate how he didnt just teach me by the music, he also taught improv. Scott, good luck im new york!

Scott is one of the best teachers I have ever worked with. He has a fun way of making music engaging and always interesting. Scott was always ready to offer help to me, and answer any questions I had. His teaching covered a wide spectrum of musical subjects, including the all-important performance opportunities. His past 6 years of teaching have really changed my life in more ways than just music. Scott has taught me that carefully preparing, practicing, working hard, and believing in yourself are the most important aspects of music. Scott has taught me most importantly to relax and have fun playing music, and to never, ever, stop reaching for the stars.

I am the mother of Amelia Witter, age 14, who has taken guitar lessons from Scott Kulick for the past 6 years. When she started lessons at the age of 8, she had only a basic understanding of music. Amelia had asked for 2 years to take guitar lessons before I took her to meet Scott at Ridenhour Music. He evlauated her and said she was ready to start lessons.
Since that time, Amelia has grown tremendously under Scott’s instruction. Scott was able to effectively teach Amelia to play guitar along with an appreciation for music. Scott has always designed public performance opportunities for his students. I have seen Amelia’s confidence grow with each performance.
Amelia competed in the 2009 4-H Share the Fun talent contest. Not only did she progress from the local level to the district level, she won the blue ribbon for instrumental music. Amelia was asked to perform at the closing ceremony where she was awarded a purple ribbon “Best in Show”.
I cannot thank Scott enough for all he has done for Amelia over the last 6 years. All of his students are fortunate to have him as their teacher. He has a tremendous knowledge of music and freely conveys it to his students. Scott is a dedicated teacher and all who study under him in the future will benefit greatly. He will be missed in Virginia.

I’ve taken lessons with scott for almost a year and have to say that he is very organized, a great teacher,and knows exactly what he is talking about. I hope he does well and has fun with what he is doing.
