Reviews for Sarasota classical piano lessons

Recent success stories from people in the Sarasota area.

Ralph W.

Joe is an outstanding instructor. His depth of knowledge and love of music enrich every part of a lesson. He is patient, clear to understand and obviously spends time away from the lesson thinking about ways to help his students improve. Joe's Berklee training and background in writing scores for TV and film place him at the forefront of the industry and greatly enrich the teacher-student experience. I could go on, but suffice it to say, I leave each lesson greatly inspired and excited not only for the next lesson but for that weeks practice as well. What more could you ask of any instructor?
