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!

We loved our trial lesson with Dr. Walterman and will be continuing with lessons. She was very knowledgeable and had a positive manner of communicating.

They come to you and make learning so convenient! It's the best way to learn any instrument. They have the best list of instructors and are so easy to work with!

My kids have been taking classes at HAMA for nearly two years, and the ease and passion with which their teacher instructs leaves them so motivated. The office staff is extremely helpful and always so understanding about make ups and scheduling. Really not sure if my kids would be this passionate about music if it weren't for this school!

Rick is very patient and has a unique method of teaching. He is also flexible with my schedule. I am pleased that I found him.

It is not just about hitting the right note, it is about relaxing and really feeling the joy of the music, of the perfect sound. It is an approach that is both unique and effective.

Michael is a fantastic violin teacher. I felt he was clear and organized. He is also very friendly, and made me feel comfortable trying the violin for the first time! He is excellent teaching beginners to advanced students. He has advanced knowledge of the orchestral repertoire and would be a great teacher for anyone wanting to play the violin professionally. I highly recommend Michael!
