the Studio

I took guitar lessons for a little over a year with Clint. I greatly respect Clint's approach to teaching and his ability to meet people where they are in their learning. Clint never talked down to me, and never made me feel dumb or inadequate in any way. He is a fantastic teacher, but also a great man. I enjoyed getting to know Clint just as much as I enjoyed furthering my guitar skills. I appreciate and respect Clint so much and would highly recommend him to anyone interested in music lessons.

When we were first looking for a guitar teacher, we came across the positive reviews, thinking, "Oh, he must be good." During our lesson with Clint, we came to really like him right away on account of his warm demeanor. My son enjoys playing guitar with him. He has been taking lessons with Clint for about 3 to 4 months now and at times during our daily devotions I would ask my son to play for us and I would be amazed at how well he plays the guitar because of Clint's teaching. If you are looking for a guitar teacher, I recommend him 100%. He is that good!

We have a 7 year old in guitar lessons with Clint and a 5 year old in piano with Julie. Clint gets so genuinely excited every time my daughter masters a new skill, and is also very encouraging when she gets frustrated. Julie handles my wiggly 5-year-old even better than I would. She is so patient and does a great job teaching on her level. We've done numerous extra-curricular activities in which we really see little to no progress from week to week, but from rhythm to reading and playing music, my girls have both learned so much since starting lessons with Clint and Julie just a few months ago. It's been a very rewarding experience for us and I would highly recommend the Studio.

I first started taking guitar lessons from Clint when I was in middle school. I was shy and intimidated by trying a new instrument, however, Clint's demeanor and kind spirit always put me at ease! He always reassured me that learning takes time and to not become discouraged by the process. Between the resources and curriculum provided, and weekly attention to my growth, I was able to learn a diverse rang of skillsets including basic theory, classical guitar, chords, worship music etc. Clint uniquely takes your interests into consideration and allows you to customize your experience while simultaneously providing a foundational education. Fast forward: I discontinued lessons for several years due to academic/degree pursuits. Just a few months ago, Clint and I reconnected. At the age of 27, I can proudly say I am revisiting guitar and taking lessons again. It's something I've always been passionate about, but "left on the shelf" for quite some time. I have so appreciated Clint's ability to meet all of his students where they are at and encourage them to begin the process again regardless of the "level" they perceive themselves to be at. He's all about helping his students enjoy the process! I would recommend Clint to anyone at any age! It's never too late to start or revisit something you love. Thank you for your investment in my life, Clint!

Clint has been great. Our daughter decided she wanted to learn to play guitar when she was 7. His method of teaching is very well tailored to each student. The studio environment is very relaxing and welcoming. Jaylee looks forward to her lessons each week and loves that she continues to learn new things.

Clint is an amazing guitar teacher. He is very knowledgeable about music theory and can relate it well. I was pleasantly surprised when I started taking lessons how fast I was able to learn due to his unique teaching books and style. I can't recommend him highly enough. I am 44 years old and if he can teach me, he can teach anyone.

My son has taken guitar lessons from Clint for several years. He began with zero experience and has learned so much! He now plays in our youth band at church. Clint is an exceptional teacher. He tailors lessons to each student's musical interests. Clint has years of experience and a wealth of knowledge that he shares enthusiastically. Our family highly recommends Clint at The Studio!

I came to The Studio with a good understanding of the guitar and music theory. Having taken guitar lessons as a kid I knew the notes and chord structure but I wanted to know how to play solo and improv to the blues. I had try to figure it out on my own but never could get it. Within a few short weeks Clint and I were jamming out and I had finally understood how to play up and down the neck. I wish I’d had Clint as my instructor 40 years ago! Clint and Julie are great teachers with a love for teaching but most of all they are great people. Highly recommend The Studio!

Clint & Julie Harrison are amazing Instructors! My son has picked up guitar way quicker than I thought he would & he absolutely loves working with Clint. We are also pleased with the reasonable prices. I would recommend The Studio for both kids and adults.

If you want to learn how to play guitar, I 100% recommend Clint at The Studio. I took lessons elsewhere before switching to Clint and it made a huge difference when I switched. He offers a relaxed, friendly atmosphere that helped the learning process go much smoother. He is very knowledgeable in music theory and is familiar with several playing styles. I can only play the way I can today because of him. Look no further for a teacher!

Clint and Julie are both fantastic! I have two kids who are learning guitar with Clint and one who is learning piano with Julie. They are talented musicians and patient, motivating, kind teachers and my kids love them. I wish we had started years earlier!

Absolutely wonderful! Clint and Julie are both amazing teachers! My children have loved learning the guitar and piano at the studio. We have had other teachers and there is no comparison. Kind, knowledgable, totally awesome! So glad we found them!

Mr. Harrison is such an encouraging, patient teacher. My seven year old son looks forward to his lessons and getting to learn new songs and techniques. He is so proud of some of his music, that anyone who stops by for a visit gets a concert!

He has also taught at OTC and a local community orchestra for some years and he has a very good reputation in our community as a teacher and as a person. All my children have taken lessons from him at some point. I'm glad my son can learn from him, too.

If you are interested in learning guitar, give Clint the opportunity to help you. I began my guitar journey after the age of 70 and didn't know the first thing about playing guitar but had the drive to learn. Clint has taken me from basics through learning chords, music theory, chord progression, tabs and playing songs.
With hands on lessons he can help the beginner, intermediate and advanced player.

Clint and Julie are excellent music teachers. I spent several of my teenage years taking music lessons from them and enjoyed every minute of it. They do a great job being friends with their students while also keeping the class on track. I'm now in my mid twenties and I'm still proud to call them friends.

Clint and Julie Harrison are some of the warmest and most talented musical instructors you will ever find! With the patience, knowledge and passion they both have for music I knew I was in good hands! I play guitar and sing and I’m so happy I found The Studio! It’s challenged me to excel and I’m so grateful!

Amazing lessons in both piano and guitar. I have siblings that also take lessons here. We’ve been to more than 4 different teachers and guitar/piano instructors around Springfield and the Harrison’s are by far the most talented, patient, and kind instructors who invest the entire time to help you be your best!

If you are looking for the best in guitar and piano instruction look no further... Clint and his wonderful wife Julie will work with you at any level...If you just want to play by ear or interested in reading music fluently while at the same time understanding musical theory. My son Hunter and I couldn’t be happier!

The Studio has instructed our son in all aspects of guitar. He has learned to read music, play by ear, theory, and to improv! It is so good to receive clean, technical training and still have fun while learning. Above all, he has continued to develop and grow in His love for music!

I've been taking guitar lessons with Clint for a year and have learned so much. I always appreciate the flexibility when my schedule gets hectic. Great place to take lessons!
