Reviews for Aurora classical piano lessons

Recent success stories from people in the Aurora area.

Mary N.

I’ve been taking piano lessons with John for about a year, returning to the instrument after more than 50 years away. From the start, John has been professional, patient, and highly skilled. He is a stickler for technical correctness, which I truly appreciate, as it’s helping me build a solid foundation and improve steadily. Even though I’m not aiming to be a concert pianist, John treats me with the same respect and commitment he would give any serious student. He’s always on time, provides clear and constructive feedback, and helps me understand exactly what to focus on during my own practice. The pace of the lessons feels just right, and his expectations are both realistic and motivating. I’ve learned so much under his guidance and would highly recommend him to anyone—whether you’re a beginner or returning to the piano after many years.

Frank has been a tremendous help through my advancements in piano technique and interpretation. His application of Italian bel-canto principles, as well as his natural exercises of the hands and wrists, has broadened my technique in indescribable ways. Just by watching his hands play the keyboard, I can apply his principles to create an incredible interpretation from a technical and interpretive standpoint.
