Hannah has been a great teacher for my son. She has a lot of patience. He seems very comfortable and enjoys her lessons. When he is doubts his ability, she encourages him to just try and his skill has improved rapidly. I would highly recommend her.

Gina is an excellent teacher and remains professional but connects well with our 9 year old. She makes the lessons fun and enjoyable and I’m so impressed by the recitals she puts on. I would absolutely recommend Gina for a child or an adult as she does incredible work with both!

Josh is amazing! He is teaching my 4-year-old son how to play drums which is a challenge with such a young age… Josh is knowledgeable and has a lot of patience. With only 3 classes we’re seeing improvements in my boy and I can’t thank him enough! I will take my daughter soon to take piano lessons with him too and I am also planning to learning how to play the guitar!
