Michael is a fantastic drum teacher. He is an extremely talented drummer and is skilled in all genres of music, from rock to jazz to latin. As a teacher he is very patient and adjusts to my needs / preferences. He is able to explain in detail both the mental and physical aspects of drumming, which I love, and always has tons of suggestions for improving my skills, from improv to rudiment exercises to jamming along to songs. I’ve learned so much taking classes from Mike!!

Sona is an AMAZING piano instructor with a lot of patience and structure in her piano teaching! I feel like I'm always on track with my practice because she breaks it down to simplify the sections that I need to practice and it makes it easy to learn a song or musical piece. I couldn't have asked for a better teacher than Sona!!! Thank you!!❤️❤️❤️

Within ONE lesson, Howard could pinpoint EXACTLY what my trouble areas are, and not only is he able to articulate a very clear plan for dealing with those, but he has also helped me with the burdening amount of pain that plagues my joints and muscles when I play something technically demanding! Furthermore, he is very focused, understanding, knowledgeable and gentle! After having many verbally.... difficult teachers whose teaching involved quite a bit of negative reinforcement, it is an absolute pleasure and an eye opening experience to have a patient, understanding teacher. Some people may learn quite well in that fashion, and there was a period of time when I actually believed, or rather was brainwashed into thinking that being verbally berated would serve as motivation. But now I see quite clearly that is not the case: I learn a lot better and I am more motivated to practice when I find it a pleasure to go to my piano lessons! Thank you, Howard for all your dedication, patience and knowledge!

Barry is the real deal. We feel very fortunate to have him teaching our sons to play the piano. He focuses on all aspects of learning to play: proper posture, finger technique, key placement, reading music, ear training, proper pacing, and then putting it all together. In the words of my older son, “Mr Barry makes sure I’m actually learning to play the piano without any shortcuts, so someday I’ll be able to pick up any piece of music and play it. He doesn’t let me move on until I really learn a piece. He also has great teaching strategies that make me feel very absorbed in learning. And he makes sure I’m doing it correctly, so I don’t practice the wrong thing.” And my younger son said, Mr Barry makes me feel happy when I’m learning piano.” As parents, we couldn’t be happier.
