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

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.

Allan was able to teach both me and my 7 year old son. He was patient and gentle and he knows his stuff ! My son is shy and can be hard to teach knew things but Allan was great at making him feel comfortable.

Ms. Pan is a superb piano teacher. She teaches the student from the ground up. It’s not just about playing but it’s also learning the theory of piano. Ms. Pan goes above and beyond to work with her students, getting to know them and involving the family. She has helped my son build a solid foundation to really develop his piano skills. After one year of instruction, he is way ahead of his peers who have been taking piano for years. Ms. Pan has made my very shy teen into a confident, strong piano player and music lover! I definitely recommend Ms. Pan to anyone looking to learn piano.
