author of 
The Fireborn Chronicles

 'Susan Grisanti is the total package, the ultimate instructor &
  entertainer! Internationally or locally she is recognized by her fans for her unique style, her professional skills as well as her dedication to the Guitar World. Many of her students have reached levels of success they never thought possible. I am one of those students!' 
LaVerne Lusk 


'One of Lubbock's Superb Musical Mentors' Barbara Brannon



'I took lessons with Susan many years ago. She improved my technique and gave me additional classical tunes to conquer.
She is verily adept and accommodates each of her students no matter what level their playing skills.
I heartily recommend her guitar classes and can guarantee she will improve your guitar playing as she did mine. I played professionally before and after I took lessons with her. Nonetheless, her lessons made a remarkable difference for me.'

Jesse Gomez Jr., M.D.
 

   "I've traveled and played music all over the world, and I've never 

met a better guitar player or teacher than Susan Grisanti!"

  Tinker Carlin, the 'Original Crickett', after performing for 'Guitar Then & Now' Workshop hosted by Susan Grisanti at the Buddy Holly Museum during the 2007 Buddy Holly Festival




"I was your student about 5 years ago when I was living in Lubbock going to Tech. I really miss our lessons back then. I learned so much from you! The chord melody style you introduced me to in jazz is now what I primarily perform. You taught me a real sense of adventure on the guitar. To never be afraid to take chances musically. I think that's the biggest lesson I try to pass unto my students now. I listen to your CD and still remember those lessons. You really make the guitar sing like an orchestra. Thankyou for everything!"
   John Redden, guitarist  http://www.johnredden.com
  


"My name is Jan Erler, and I am a classical guitarist. I took part in a

summer course with you in June 1995 in Wust, East Germany. The

reason I'm writing to you is that I would like to thank you because

this course was one of the major inspirations for me to really work a

lot! I just got my guitar diploma in Germany and I signed with a 

well

known record label with my duo, the Heinrich Albert Duo and the

first CD will be released in November. I also play many solo 

concerts alone and with orchestra. Now, reflecting what I did in the

last years, I felt the wish to thank you for the inspiration I got from

you. It helped me a lot and encouraged me to make something out 

of 

my guitar playing! I wish you all the best for your career and your

life!"
         Jan Erler, guitarist  http://www.heinrich-albert-duo.de






"...in addition to receiving his new Fender Strat guitar, Daniel Stow

received another gift from Make-A-Wish

Foundation- one semester's worth of lessons with guitar virtuoso and

teacher Susan Grisanti. Ms. Grisanti and

the Stow Family were chauffeured by limousine to Jent's House of

Music last Saturday for Daniel to be

presented with the instrument. On Monday, Daniel had his first

lesson with Susan. 'Make-A-Wish Foundation

is wonderful. It not only benefits the recipients in a grand fashion, 

the granted wishes also help everyone

around the recipients by spreading light and love among family and

friends' Susan Grisanti said about the 

magnificent gift for Daniel."

   Hubstuff Magazine for Make-A-Wish 






"Thankyou is never enough to say to someone who does things to 

help our kids. Again, thankyou very much for all you do for 

Make-A-Wish!"

     Sharon Bertrand, Make-A-Wish Coordinator http://texasplains.wish.org


 


"On behalf of the Buddy Holly Center, I would like to extend my

sincere thanks for your participation at 'Buddy's 69th Birthday

Celebration'. The 'Guitar Then & Now Workshop' you 

conducted

was a huge accomplishment. I personally want to thank you for the

time and hard work you put into planning the workshop, organizing

the players, and of course the performance. The workshop added a

wonderful dimension to the days events. All the players are so

talented and enhanced the workshop with their individual stories 

 and original music. It was a great success and I do hope you will

pass my thanks on to each and every one of the players at the

workshop. Your involvement in Saturday's event was essential in

helping us pay the proper tribute to Lubbock's true Legend. Also,

thank you for donating the contributions from the workshop to the 

American Red Cross Hurricane Katrina Relief Efforts. The staff is

greatly appreciative for all you do to support the Buddy Holly

Center and our special events. Please keep in touch and let me know

where you will be playing. I would love to support you and the 

players!"


Brooke Witcher, Education Coordinator, Buddy Holly 

Center
                  http://www.buddyhollycenter.org


 



"Susan Grisanti recently provided seminar training for guitar 

students in Region 17. Our students were quick to recognize the 

clear head to heart connection of Susan's guitar expertise and her 

love of playing. Her passion and love for the guitar and music ring

loud and clear in her presentations. Susan enjoys interacting with the

students and even takes song requests from them. I hope your 

students enjoy her as much as ours did!"

         Debbie Stennett, Education Director, LISD Region 17
