“I am a former student of Terry Mills and was very sad (but happy for him) to see him move away from Stockton. I enjoyed my entire 13 years as a student of Terry- he is very patient with his students, very practical and precise in his method of teaching. I learned A LOT from this excellent musician and still enjoy playing immensely. Sincerely Ed Schneider MD” - Student's comments
