Reviews for Loveland classical piano lessons
Recent success stories from people in the Loveland area.
Ivy A.
Gary is one of the most patient teachers I have worked with. He has been providing piano lessons to our family for the past 5 years. My oldest daughter is now in her 2nd year as Music performance student at CSU and Gary has helped advise/guide her career choice as well as provide a solid base in piano skills which have been essential to her success as a musician. I have two other daughters who are current students. Gary is able to connect with each of their very different personalities and motivates each of them keep up their progress. I started taking lessons with Gary last year and now I have the confidence to play at our church on a regular basis. I have significantly improved my skills and he has helped me dampen my fear of solo piano performance. His approach with students uses gentle encouragement and he helps them find a personal connection to the music they play. He is an asset to our community.

Mary Beth is easily one of the best instructors I have ever studied under. She is clearly passionate about her work, and extremely patient if one of her students (okay, me) is struggling. An excellent communicator, she also knows how to keep students engaged. In short, if you are looking for a music instructor Mary Beth will be your first and only choice. Highly recommended!

We love our instructor, Louis Racicot. He is so patient with my kiddo. I'm not sure if he had experience with instructing a child with autism...virtually, but he's doing wonderfully well! He is a professional. His instruction is simple. He breaks the music down in bite size pieces and allows my kiddo to succeed. He's the best!
