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!

She is very intuitive with music, melody and is able to tap into the same musical wavelength as me. She works hard to understand your vision. Great experience!! Would recommend.

Mr. Ikeda is not only a gifted musician, but he also works well with young adults, instilling confidence in them and yet pushing them to reach further in honing their skills. He is patient and persistent and really strives to help his students improve. He is also very supportive both of their efforts in school band and in the development of their own musical interests. Mr. Ikeda is always professional and kind. I am so grateful that he has trained my child over two years now.

Kish's extensive knowledge of music theory and being a musician in this modern day gave me the ability to get first chair in my college jazz ensemble and helped me make some money as a professional musician on the side. thanks God we have Teachers out there that care as much as Kish.

Murray Middleman is a great Flute teacher. If you get the opportunity to study flute with him, you are making a smart decision.

My kids have been taking classes at HAMA for nearly two years, and the ease and passion with which their teacher instructs leaves them so motivated. The office staff is extremely helpful and always so understanding about make ups and scheduling. Really not sure if my kids would be this passionate about music if it weren't for this school!
