Pam A. says, "As a 62-year-old beginner, I’ve found Laura Michele to be a wonderful instructor. Having started with her after only a year of previous experience, I was impressed by how quickly she helped me master chord structures and inversions. She has a gift for simplifying complex tasks, whether it’s breaking down a new song or modifying advanced pieces to fit my current skill level. Laura is patient, kind, and very generous with her expertise. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and effective teacher. Five stars" Read more

Ken is a very experienced musician and performer and really teaches what it’s all about, he uses his own material and everything you do has a specific purpose. And because Ken teaches independently of some book, or guide he can always adjust his lessons to what you need or are struggling.

hi everyone I'm from Japan and I just want to share my experience working lessons with sir carlos, first of all, harmonica is my first instrument, I always watch youtube videos about it until I tried searching some online lessons and here I met sir carlos he is a great teacher because he teaches me first to learn the basics and how to play the harmonica well, I learn a lot from him because he corrects my every mistake until I get it and he has many lessons and basic songs that will be given to you after your session of lessons that will really help you improve. I highly recommend him for all newbies who are looking for a good teacher and for all those who are just entering the field of harmonica because not only will he teach you well, but you will also enjoy talking to him.

I have been taking weekly lessons with Laura Michele for 7+ months, and she has been an excellent teacher and helped me improve my skills and confidence with jazz piano more than I thought I would be capable of in a short period of time. She meets me where I am musically and teaches me a lot about chords and theory in the context of actual jazz songs that I like and enjoy playing. I really enjoy playing piano again and highly recommend Laura Michele to anyone considering jazz lessons! -Gregory Moore

Aaron has helped me a lot. Especially improving my left hand capabilities. He is familiar with many different styles of music. He is also very good at figuring out how to play pieces that were not written for accordion.

Mirco is an awesome teacher! I have been taking bass lessons with him for the past year and he has really helped all aspects of my playing. Most importantly it has been really fun. We studying everything from Jazz, to rock, to funk, to Primus. We have covered a lot of technical things and theory, but he also always makes sure to put it into practice and apply it to something I can enjoy playing. Last but not least, he is really great to hang out with during the bass lesson and is genuinely really nice :)
