Reviews for San Gabriel classical piano lessons

Recent success stories from people in the San Gabriel area.

Kitmin C.

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.

Patient, encouraging, easy to work with. Really appreciate the level of detail she provides. Much better than a piano teacher I had years ago.

Rana is very kind and supportive. I was very nervous about singing in front of a new person but she made me feel very comfortable. She’s very knowledgeable and patient. She’s also very technical which is what I need.

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.

Suzanne Lukather understands the complete singer. Because of her extensive professional life as a performer and teacher, she has the ability to teach her students to be artists and not just singers. She creates a positive learning environment for the beginning through the advanced student and truly gets results when other teachers only go through the motions. Suzanne is an inspiring person who looks at the big picture while never missing the details and her students' successes are a direct result of her outstanding teaching.

We are so glad that we found to Miss Natalia Hudson as our daughter's piano teacher. She is so patient and loving teacher she gives extra miles with her students our daughter is 5 years old they are friends because she knows how to interact/ teach to small kids. Our daughter is learning so much she loves when they have show time, play duet and doesn't want to miss the class we hope Natalia can continue teaching her because she has talent to teach small kids. We highly recommend her to any student or any institution as a teacher.
