We are so glad that we found to Miss Natalia Hudson as our daughter's piano teacher. She is so patient and loving teacher she gives extra miles with her students our daughter is 5 years old they are friends because she knows how to interact/ teach to small kids. Our daughter is learning so much she loves when they have show time, play duet and doesn't want to miss the class we hope Natalia can continue teaching her because she has talent to teach small kids. We highly recommend her to any student or any institution as a teacher.

Dr. Takenouchi is a great classical piano teacher for my daughter. He is very friendly and has a great sense of knowledge on how to improve her skills both technically and emotionally. He always guides her whenever she needs help. My daughter enjoys every lesson very much! Since she has been taught by Dr. Takenouchi she won in an international piano competition in NY. We are lucky to have found a wonderful piano teacher like him. R.S

Gus Zdanovich has been my piano teacher for about three years. He is a talented pianist and teacher who is most knowledgeable in classical and contemporary music. His love of music and passion for playing the piano is obvious. It is sometimes difficult for me to practice as often as I should and also, one could say, I am musically challenged. To help with this, Gus offers different techniques or suggestions and always spends extra time with me on all of my lessons. I am enjoying learning how to play the piano. His knowledge, patience and personable disposition have made it easy to take piano lessons from him. Thanks to Gus, I am learning about music and piano.
