I really enjoy the lessons and appreciate the helpful practice videos which I'm receiving almost every week and love how organized, clear and sharp the lessons are. I really feel my progress since starting to take lessons with Dror.

New to Lessons.com. I initially contacted a different instructor and was surprised when many other instructors contacted me instead. Phil, however, was the only one that actually addressed what I was looking for in particular in a teacher and had the required know-how to teach it. All the others were very impersonal except for one who was honest and said he was also interested in what I am interested in. The lesson itself was insightful just through getting to know one another as people and players. I caught many things he was doing right off the bat and asked to rewind and slow it a bit. It helps when you know what you’re after in material when you’re working with a pro such as Phil who can pull any rabbit he wishes out of his magic hat. Phil can show you fundamentals to intricacies; hacks and efficiencies. I’ve already started on the road to creating the sound I have in my head. Phil can help you find that too.

She breaks things down and explains them with such ease, and she easily engages her student. Thanks to Ms. Ceitinn, my daughter is flourishing as a budding pianist. I am quite impressed! Ms. Ceitinn is professional, responsive, flexible and truly a pleasure to work with.
