I love working with Dr. Lee. She is caring, warm, and patient. I really like how she introduced me to music theory during my lessons. Also, my sight-reading has gotten so much better while being with her. I really enjoy my weekly lessons and have a great time.

I decided to take piano lessons in my senior citizen years after not having played since I was a child. Deborah's patience and encouragement during weekly lessons have given me great confidence. She guides me through each piece carefully focusing on techniques to help me improve. I also think her selection of music books and practice exercises are appropriate for my abilty. And , she gently challenges me with more difficult pieces as I become more comfortable and capable. I would highly recommend Deborah to anyone regardless of age who wants to learn how to play the piano .

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!!

We are having a great experience with Scott. He is always punctual, professional and works really well with our 16 year old son. He's very attentive and patient with him and those things are very important to us in a piano teacher. I highly recommend Scott!

Tom has been a great piano coach to me. I hit somewhat of a roadblock when trying to get back into piano after a gap of almost 20 years. My confidence was knocked but Tom was fantastic at working with me to build my confidence back up. Each lesson is tailored to teaching me technical elements of piano playing, focussing on a piece of music written specifically for piano, and also more creative playing where I'll choose a song of my choosing, such as a pop song, and generate my own style of accompaniment. I'm not sure how it's possible but Tom makes scales and chord progression work at a lot of fun. He gives each lesson a sense of purpose so I can see the bigger picture of how each lesson will make me a better piano player.
