I'm a 74 year old retired man. I have always loved acting but have had some minor challenges due to bad eye sight and I'm not that computer savvy. Jim helped me learn how to use an I-pad my grand daughter gave me to help me expand fonts to read scripts. Though I'm only doing this so far for a hobby, I can see huge improvement in my ability to memorize scripts and act convincingly. Jim encouraged me to audition for the community senior center's drama club. I couldn't believe it I got right in and enjoying meeting new people (I'm widowed). Jim has been a Godsend. I'm finding new joy and I'm enjoying seeing local theatre productions. I appreciate his kind, patient, and professional matter. Acting lessons with Jim is what got me through the horrible isolation during Covid quarantine. He is also incredibly knowledgable on health such as veganism, breathing/meditation and is encouraging me to get into a healthier lifestyle. My voice/sinuses improved after giving up dairy. I used to get chronic sinusitis. So I feel acting has been beneficial to my overall health. Though Jim is pricier than other teachers in the area... I believe you pay for what you get. The extra money I pay is well worth it. The two other acting coaches I used before Jim...were mediocre and treated me like an invalid. Jim continues to inspire me to be the best I can be in all areas of my life. I consider him a good friend and he is one of the best educators out there.

I have been a student of Michael Le Van for many years and have studied both classical piano and jazz improvisation with him. He is a kind, warm, patient teacher who works well with both children and adults. I really look forward to my lessons because I always learn something new. He is very versatile and can teach any style of piano music. In addition to being an incredible teacher, he is also a gifted composer who plays original ballad compositions which are very lyrical and heartfelt. He also composes fast upbeat jazz as well. Michael has produced several CDs, the latest called Then Another Turns with Elena Gilliam, vocalist and A Different Shade of Blue a few years ago. Michael performs with his trio at many different venues and I would suggest that you catch one of his amazing performances. Thank you to Michael for enriching my life with music and helping me on this journey.

Mrs. Bae is a fantastic and experienced piano teacher! She is very caring, patient, and kind. She has high expectations on you but as long as you put in the time and effort, you will learn a ton from her!

I had fun learning how to play and sing my favorite worship song. Mr. Omar even helped me record it so I can send it to my family! You should take lessons from Mr. Omar
