Cheryl B. says, "Marshal has been very inspiring and very adaptive to my wishes. He didn't keep me entrenched in music theory for months as some teachers do. Instead, I learned theory while learning to play music, which was much more enjoyable and motivating. If I wanted to play a specific song, he would locate an arrangement that was not too challenging for my skill level. Once I could play the piece, he would enhance the arrangement by adding or changing some notes and teaching me how to do that. The results have been wonderful. I have several pieces that I really enjoy playing. And that was my goal when we started-- to play the piano for my own enjoyment. FYI, I am 77 years old and look forward to my lessons with Marshal every week. Playing the piano keeps my mind sharp and my fingers nimble. I highly recommend Marshal for anyone who has the desire to learn to play the piano." Read more

Ken Aram’s professionalism, knowledge, expertise, and consistency as an instructor of vocals has been a great pleasure to work with and allowed me to go to another level of vocal ability that I kept dreaming of until I started seeing results thanks to him. Ken has always shown great enthusiasm and patience throughout my difficult journey to grow as a vocal student. Also, Ken is very friendly, and I got to know him as a great friend.

I am an adult student taking piano lessons from Marshal. I have found him to be a great teacher who genuinely understands teaching at its core. He does not simply hand you a textbook and tell you to start on page one as if you are a machine awaiting programming. He instead gauged my current skill level and based off of that determined what to focus on or even to postpone an idea if it wasn't relevant/helping at that moment. If you laid out every lesson I have done with him the focus might seem scattered but I know firsthand it's exactly what I needed at the time and my skill progression has felt nothing but smooth and natural through his teachings.

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.

**Simpler and Honest Review:** John Ferguson is a great piano teacher for both kids and adults. He’s patient, professional, and makes lessons fun while still helping you improve. What I really like is how he adjusts his teaching to fit each student’s needs—whether you’re a beginner or getting back into piano after a long break. He makes learning comfortable and enjoyable. His lessons mix technique, theory, and creativity, focusing on understanding music rather than just memorizing notes. He also keeps students motivated by exploring different styles, offering performance chances (if you want them), and celebrating progress. John truly cares about his students, and it shows in his teaching. If you’re looking for a skilled and supportive piano teacher, I highly recommend him!

Margarita is an excellent piano teacher! I was a complete beginner when I started, and have learned so much from her. She is patient, clear, and extremely knowledgeable. I strongly recommend her for lessons.

My daughter took guitar and piano lessons with Brian. We were both very pleased with the lessons. My daughter which was 7 at the time switched from guitar to piano. He made the transition easy for her and was extremely patient while she made up her mind on what she wanted to do. I was impressed on how much she learned and she continues to take lessons. He truly sparked that interest and motivated her through every lesson.
