I was ask to start playing bass guitar in a group that had a hard time keeping bass players. Lloyd has been wonderful helping me bridge the gap from playing guitar & mandolin to bass. He is insightful when crossing multi-instruments. He has been amazingly helpful as I learn my new bass skills.

MRP Studio for Performing Arts

Within ONE lesson, Howard could pinpoint EXACTLY what my trouble areas are, and not only is he able to articulate a very clear plan for dealing with those, but he has also helped me with the burdening amount of pain that plagues my joints and muscles when I play something technically demanding! Furthermore, he is very focused, understanding, knowledgeable and gentle! After having many verbally.... difficult teachers whose teaching involved quite a bit of negative reinforcement, it is an absolute pleasure and an eye opening experience to have a patient, understanding teacher. Some people may learn quite well in that fashion, and there was a period of time when I actually believed, or rather was brainwashed into thinking that being verbally berated would serve as motivation. But now I see quite clearly that is not the case: I learn a lot better and I am more motivated to practice when I find it a pleasure to go to my piano lessons! Thank you, Howard for all your dedication, patience and knowledge!

I was immediately impressed by the Simply Music method because it instills a joy and love of music first, before the student learns to read music. At her first lesson my daughter could play a song and every week after she learned a new song and was encouraged to sing along if there were lyrics. I was also pleased with the composition assignments where they could blend notes or patterns from songs they already know. This really expands it beyond playing set notes - it encourages creativity and the reward of using imagination to come up with something both familiar and original. My daughter now has a large repertoire of songs she can play ranging in styles from blues to lullabyes. I’m absolutely amazed by her progress!! And Ms. Nicole is absolutely the perfect teacher!! She is experienced, kind, supportive, and keeps the students focused on progress. I couldn’t ask for a better fit for my daughter. I don’t want my daughter to play Carnegie Hall - I want her to develop a love of music and I’m so deeply impressed by how much she’s accomplished in less than two years. I credit the method and Ms Nicole’s dedicated teaching style.
