Inessa has been my piano teacher for over 10 years. Her passion for sharing her love of music is truly remarkable. While she is Suzuki certified, she also listens to her students and adapts her curriculum accordingly. Inessa is technically strong and her only goal is for you to enjoy music.

I really didn’t know the true potential of my voice until I started taking lessons at Bristol. There is a great deal to be learned in these lessons, and if you work at it results come pretty quickly. The classes are super fun and the teachers are knowledgeable, confident and very helpful. Definitely worth checking out even if you just like to sing for fun.

He's been really helping me shape my music and my musicality with technique work and working on pieces that I really enjoy. The thing I like about Kyle is he doesn't make you feel bad about your mistakes; he's really there to help you. He supports you and we laugh together when I make a bad move and he really helps me figure out what the pieces mean to him and what they could mean to me in a way that focuses on the music.

Taisiya is an excellent viola teacher. She tailors the lessons to your goals and makes sure to emphasize your strengths while providing careful feedback on your weaknesses. She is great at explaining concepts and can always provide a nice demonstration of techniques while explaining them well enough to try myself. She also puts a lot of effort into organizing studio recitals so that students can showcase what they've been working on every few months.
