Baldwin Music has been selected and featured for the Best Guitar Lessons in Baldwin for 2020 by Lessons.com
Welcome to Baldwin Music. I am dedicated to providing only the highest quality music instruction in a safe, convenient, and inspiring musical environment.
I teach at various levels of musical proficiency. My students range in age from 4 years old to adults in their eighties.
Music lessons are available for Guitar, Piano and Ukulele. I also teach basic vocal technique (including harmony, phrasing and breathing) so students are able to sing as they play music.
Weekly lessons include
- learning songs by your favorite artists,
- understanding how music works,
- how to read music (both standard notation and guitar tablature),
- music theory,
- proper technique and
- how to play music by ear.
I also offer one time lessons (preparation for auditions, gigs and recording sessions).
Music is my passion… make it yours too!
Here’s what students are saying about Baldwin Music…
I have been taking lessons from Colleen for almost 2 years (2020-2021). She is an exceptional teacher who is knowledgeable, kind and patient. Lessons are fun, interesting and stress-free. She understands that everyone learns in a different way so can accommodate any student. I love that Colleen plays and sings in a working band, so also understands that aspect of music. I highly recommend Colleen as a music instructor!
Baldwin Music offers a friendly, relaxed learning environment at a very reasonable cost.
My instructor is not only well versed in music theory and playing methods, but is also very encouraging and patient with my learning pace. I highly recommend Baldwin Music!
~ S. CanterMy daughter took her first guitar lessons with Colleen when she was in middle school.
I noticed how quickly she learned to play songs and how well she played. I asked Colleen if she would consider teaching adults and she said “I’ll teach anyone who wants to learn.” I have now been a guitar student of Colleen Craven’s for more than 10 years.
~ T. FiskumI would highly recommend Baldwin Music for guitar lessons. I have been taking lessons with Colleen once a week for about 4 years and have made much progress towards my goal of having a repertoire of songs that I can easily play. Where else can you have a great time and learn a skill that will continue to give you enjoyment for years to come!
~ T. RaynerColleen has helped me enormously in the proper mechanics and technique of guitar
playing. She has also opened up to me, in a very enjoyable way, to the world of reading
music and music theory. Finally, she has been a great help in enriching the interpretation of songs I already know and songs I want to learn. I believe she could be a real help to a
musician of almost any level, from beginner to professional.
