After taking a break from piano for some years, I returned to classes. I've been taking remote lessons with Luanne for close to a year now. She is an excellent teacher who will make sure you're playing all the right notes, getting the right rhythm, and learning theory. It has been a lot of fun to work with her, and I feel that I am seeing lots of improvement. She is thorough, kind, and a very talented teacher. I highly, highly recommend her! I am excited to continue learning, continue learning from Luanne, and continue learning how to play such a wonderful instrument. For those wondering how zoom lessons work, you just make sure you get the settings right and you're ready to learn! Thank you for everything, Luanne! I'm off to practice!

My kids and I all took lessons from Abby Wheatley. I love how she tailored our instruction specifically to each person's level and their goals. She made it fun, while also endeavoring to develop well-rounded, capable musicians. I haven't stopped playing since we started!

I have been Mark's student since I was around sixth grade until just now. I recently just got my Senior Medallion for Certificate of Merit for piano after finishing level 8. Under his teaching, I've also obtained honorable mention trophies for Romantic Festival and Baroque Festival, a winner trophy for Latin Festival, as well as the 15 point and 30 point trophy at Junior Festival. Even with the mistakes I make from lack of practice, he's still reasonably patient with me and helps me to make sure I play the best I can. I have very much enjoyed being his student the past 7 years.

Austin has been an awesome teacher for me. I have been taking guitar lessons with him for over 4 months now and I couldn’t be any happier with the value provided. I would strongly recommend anyone looking for a teacher to begin taking lessons with him as I believe he is a great fit for anyone.
