Steven Luten

I am an experienced electric and acoustic guitarist, bassist, & keys player, as well as proficient on other instruments, such as SPDX & MIDI software. I also write & produce music as well, and am a Production Director by profession. My experience with students of all ages started from teaching and leading through student worship at Christ Fellowship Church since 2016. I then continued private one-on-one lessons, and as a teacher at a local music studio for over two years. My students range from ages 5 years to adults.

I have completed a double Bachelor’s in Worship contemporary Christian music & Music Production from Southeastern University of Lakeland Florida in 2023. Music is my passion. It is because of a guitar coach believing in me, who was not a Christian by the way, that I progressed into the man and musician I am today. Although I play at churches and went to a Christian college, I enjoy playing all genres of music. I particularly like country, classic & modern rock, as well as pop. Pre-COVID-19, I was also a music therapy musician for Mind & Melody, a non-profit organization focusing on music’s effect on memory care patients. That allowed me to play and teach with patients in memory care in multiple facilities and counties. I also have experience and understand students who are special needs, physically and mentally as well.

Music is my heart & my purpose. By age 16 I knew I was meant to use my story, music, and talents to help others. For me, the purpose of teaching is for students to love what they are doing and accomplishing.

I tailor my lessons to my students needs and goals. Whether it's the first note or producing a full song, my goal is to teach you how to achieve your goals and surpass your limits. Whether you're brand new to music or have been playing for years, I seek to see you become a better musician than you were starting the lesson, with the ultimate goal of making you better than I am.

Whether it's a simple hobby or a true passion, I seek to see my students soar and love music. I don't just aim to teach my students how to play a song, but to master them. If you want to go on stage, I'll teach you how to look like a professional touring artist. If you want to write a song of your own, I'll teach you how to bring your own personality to every note you write.

Ultimately, I see music as something that connects every heart across the world, and with my personally tailored lessons I'll see that you grow and improve past your limits.
