Ed W. says, "I would gladly recommend teacher Jay. My son needed to learn to play viola fast because there were too many violinists in his school orchestra. I played violin as a child, so I am somewhat familiar with violas. But I wasn't sure about teaching my son the right way. Alto clef and all! We had a great experience. Jay is marvelously calm and patient. I don't know how he does it. My son enjoyed his lessons for sure. Although I suspect he may have fancied all the swords on the wall more than what's on the music stand. We moved back to east coast. So we are no longer seeing teacher Jay. My son continues to play music, which makes me very happy and proud." Read more
