Samantha E. says, "Working with Rana has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my musical journey. From the very first lesson, it was clear that she doesn’t just teach singing—she nurture voices and souls. Her teaching style is incredibly supportive, patient, and intuitive. Whether I was struggling with confidence or technique, she always met me with kindness, encouragement, and expert guidance. Rana has a special gift for making you feel seen and heard, and their love for both music and their students shines through in every session.

Marissa S. says, "I’ve been working with Daniel for a little over a year now. When I first started, I had zero experience in any instrument (unless you count the clarinet in 6th grade). Fast forward one year and I’m reading music and playing pieces from Bach as well as current pop artists I love. It was scary to take up piano at the age of 30 but Daniel has made the process fun. He strikes a good balance of care and challenge. I’m so happy with the progress I’ve made in a relatively short time and look forward to continue learning from Daniel. I recommend him to anyone looking to learn to play or improve their skills." Read more

Daniel Lessner is undoubtedly the best music teacher I have ever had. I have been a pianist for more than 20 years and have been studying with Daniel for the last 4. His passion for the piano is unmatched and infectious. His teaching style is clear, focused, and highly practical. He explains not only the technical aspects of each piano piece, but also the musical aspects and the composer's intentions. With his guidance I've been able to learn pieces such as Rachmaninoff Concerto 2 and Chopin Ballades 1, 2, and 3. I highly recommend Daniel as a teacher to pianists of any level, and especially those who are looking to elevate their piano playing to the next level.

Todd's extensive knowledge and genuine passion for music make him an outstanding teacher! I really appreciate his ability to make piano lessons both enjoyable and effective. My son always came home from lessons excited to show me what he’d learned that day- which is really saying something! Todd's kind nature and patience creates a warm, welcoming learning environment that puts both kids (and parents!) at ease. If you're searching for a piano teacher who can inspire and educate your child, while keeping things fun and engaging, Todd is the perfect choice!
