Hanna Aparo, without a doubt, is an excellent teacher and person. Before I began my lessons we had an honest evaluation of my skills and expectations. Hanna is friendly and never scolds when I confess my lack of practicing. Another important point is Hanna’s studio. It is always clean and neat. I highly recommend Hanna Aparo.

I took lessons with David for about 5 years in my early teens. His passion for the music he teaches and enthusiasm for his students' learning is contagious. I highly recommend him as a teacher!

David Gleba's Piano and Composition Studio

I am a recent student at one of the studios William works at before I moved away from San Antonio. He gave lessons for both me on drums and my little sister, who was just starting out on piano. He was always punctual and respectful of my family’s time and always tried to give me content I could work on throughout the week to get me prepared for new material and ideas. Since taking lessons, I have improved vastly in my skills for high school band and drumset too. Highly recommended!
