Steven W. says, "Eric is an absolutely outstanding piano teacher! I’m a percussionist looking to continue music throughout college, and decided to take piano lessons while in high school. This decision was very beneficial, as Eric has taught me a tremendous amount about musicianship, theory, improvisation, transposition, blues, sight-reading, ear training, and so much more. Week after week Eric has challenged me with new material and helped me develop a deeper passion and appreciation for music. From day one, Eric spent a lot of time focusing on music theory. The time and care he devoted to teaching me about this area really enhanced my understanding of the topic and helped prepare me for an advanced placement music theory class. Eric also spent a lot of time teaching me about proper technique including posture, finger position, pedaling, and much more. He helped me understand the importance of this early on, and rather than focusing on just one period/genre of music throughout my lessons, Eric taught me about several and their origins/history. Some private lessons teachers are not very engaging; however, Eric has always been very enthusiastic and really took the time to get to know me as an individual. Not to mention he also has a fantastic sense of humor! I would not be the musician I am today without Eric, and I am so fortunate to have had the opportunity to take lessons with him. Steven W.

Tatiana G. says, "My daughter started to take piano lessons with Inna when she was 6. She is now an engineering major in college. Her last piano concert was after her high school graduation. Inna managed to keep her interested and motivated through the hardest and busiest school years, developed my daughter's sense of musicality, taught her to love and appreciate classical music. Inna adjusts the requirements based on each student time, interests, and ability and puts just the right amount of pressure to get them to their individual goals." Read more

LAT says, "Dr. Yulia Lipmanovich tailors her teaching methods according to each individual student and his or her individual goals. Her knowledge of the different music literature and composers is vast and she imparts a style of playing as taught by her very well-known teachers. In addition, she is very patient, understanding, and acts as an excellent guide. Working with her has truly broadened my understanding of Musical Interpretation and more fundamentally, Sound. I cannot recommend studying with her enough. Whether you are returning to the piano after a long hiatus (like I did), or just beginning no matter what the age, you cannot go wrong studying with her. Finally, as a working Concert Pianist, Dr. Yulia organizes a series of Recitals, Student Concerts, Masterclasses, and is very involved in various Festivals. Her students can and are encouraged to participate and from personal experience, I can say that these supplementary activities, in addition to regular lessons, have been invaluable. " Read more

She has a encyclopedic musical knowledge of repertoire of all styles, a remarkable ability to build students' confidence, and constantly pushes her students to excel. Most importantly for non-conservatory students, she is always positive and encouraging, bringing the best out of all. I am continually impressed at how she is able to maintain this standard of excellence with a large studio of students of all ages. I cannot recommend her highly enough!" Read more

Reviews for Buffalo Grove classical piano lessons

Recent success stories from people in the Buffalo Grove area.
Peggy W.
Eric is a phenomenal piano teacher. Each lesson focused on making my son a well-rounded musician by splitting time between teaching technique, theory, ear training, and more. Eric challenges his students while motivating them to do their best. He keeps his students engaged throughout the lesson and gives his students a say in what they are going to learn. He has a great sense of humor making the lessons fun. Eric is very flexible with scheduling and easy to work with. I highly recommend Eric. Peggy W.

Inna has been an amazing teacher ever since I started with her as a little kid. She has made learning and playing piano incredibly fascinating. Most teachers just tell their students to play music blindly, without focussing on the details; Inna has not only helped me to read music carefully but has taught me proper techniques and musical theory that has elevated my level of musicality. She really cares about the way that I emote, always spending the time with me to rigorously go over pieces, without seeming overly strict or austere. She has definitely been an artistic inspiration for me and carries with her an incredible passion for music, which has been passed down to me after all these years learning from her. One of the best in the business!

Dan is an incredibly knowledgable teacher. His experience playing on cruise ships, piano bars and loads of other gigs brings a depth to his teaching that can't be beat. Dan taught me a library of left hand patterns, and right hand riffs that make the blues so enjoyable at home. He has also helped me to translate some of his blues playing to my harp. Very exciting. He's patient, funny and has loads of stories. Highly recommended if you're an intermediate and up player.

Dr. Yulia is very dedicated and passionate of teaching the student what is needed and necessary to know in the lesson. I've been studying with Dr. Yulia for over 2 years now which my piano performance improved quite a bit. Wouldn't recommend any other instructor except for Dr. Yulia.

Tad has been wonderful! His expertise and training really shine through the lessons with my children. He has suggested specific books that will address their areas of need while also keeping in mind their song/style interests and goals. Tad provides challenging yet engaging lessons that have already expanded their skill level. Always communicative, courteous, and punctual, I would highly recommend Tad to anyone looking for piano lessons.

Svetlana has been teaching my daughter piano for over 4 years, and I couldn’t be happier with her instruction. She knows how to engage kids, and her lessons are always fun. Svetlana arranges for her students to perform at various concerts and competitions which is a good way for kids to build self-confidence and get a sense of achievement. Not only did my daughter make a good progress, but she also learned to love and appreciate music. She is always looking forward to her lessons, and we feel so lucky to have found such an experienced and caring teacher.
