He has such a great teaching method. He knows how to make music accessible to all ages and all abilities and teach in a way that it makes sense to everyone. My 2 kids and myself took drum, piano, and bells from him and we all learned more than just reading music off the sheet, but how to create our own pieces, and jam freely with other people. I’ve had many music teachers in my life and he gave me a key to music that no other teacher had. Very patient and worked very well with my autistic child who needed a slow and gentle hand. I highly recommend Rich!

As a drummer with over 20 years of experience, playing professionally, teaching, and with a degree in jazz drum set. It has been an absolute pleasure working with Alex for the past 8 months. For the longest time I had the desire to find an amazing teacher to give me direction with my practice and playing. I found him through his Eric Harland book knowing that someone who has gone through the painstaking process of transcribing Harland had an intense dedication to high level music and sharing that knowledge with others. Alex’s curriculum and knowledge of jazz and practical musical language has had a noticeable impact on my playing. Many musicians I work with have even noticed positive impacts in my feel, creativity, and soloing. Not only is he an amazing teacher when it comes to the material, but he is also a great person to talk to. Every week I look forward to the energy he puts into our meetings. I am certain drummers of any level will develop their skills and passion by taking lessons with him!

Jennifer was an amazing teacher. She introduced me to concepts that had been overlooked by previous teachers and directors and helped me discover that there is more to music than playing the right notes.

Jan has been nothing short of a great teacher and friend to me. Shes critical on where you need to improve and encouraging with your strengths! If you're looking for a teacher with lots of personality, stories, and drive to help you further yourself; you're in the right place.

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!

I am so incredibly thankful for all that you have shown and taught me about music and being a musician. You've been a great teacher since day one.
