I have to say, Bobbie has been an absolute gem when it comes to teaching my boys, aged 9 and 11, for the past 4 years. She has this incredible ability to balance being firm and strict with being flexible and fun, which makes the learning experience enjoyable for my kids. But it's not just about piano lessons with Bobbie - she goes above and beyond by teaching them valuable time management skills and encouraging them to reflect on their progress. I sometimes take a seat and listen to her words of wisdom, and I'm always impressed by her insights. Kevin, my talented 11-year-old, was actually asked by his music teacher to be a chorus accompanist at school. That happened after his music teacher heard him playing the piano during a talent show. And Alex, my little 9-year-old - he is obsessed with game music. Well, Bobbie came to the rescue and taught him how to transcribe the music he loves so much. It's incredible to see how he's grown in that area! I wholeheartedly recommend Bobbie to everyone seeking a piano teacher. Although she is selective in her student intake, if you have the chance to learn from her, you will discover what I believe to be the finest piano teacher out there.

Varis taught both of my boys piano (first instrument) and then continued to teach one of my sons guitar. He instilled a love for music which has had a lasting effect. He's a talented musician himself which was inspiring for my sons. He's also super accessible and works with each student based on their music interests and skills/needs for development. Having the lessons at home was extremely convenient given our hectic schedules, and Varis was always super flexible if we needed to make a scheduling shift. My only "constructive criticism" is that with only half an hour for a lesson, I wish more time was spent on things that couldn't be done without Varis there (i.e. warming up, looking up online resources, etc.) Overall very happy!

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.

Ok so listen, I’m a 34 year old that woke up one day and decided to take piano lessons. I feel like this paints the picture. It’s scientifically proven that it’s hard to teach an old dog new tricks. But taking lessons with Greg has been the opposite of that. He’s patient. He’s funny. His teaching style isn’t too stuffy so he makes you feel relaxed. He’s definitely taught this old dog new tricks. I would definitely recommend him to anyone of any age to take lessons with him.

Alley is an excellent piano teacher! She is talented, engaging, patient and fun-loving. She understands children and seems to genuinely enjoy her time with my son. He is 9 years old and since beginning to work with Alley he looks forward to his piano lessons. It is wonderful to see his sense of accomplishment as his piano playing improves over time. We highly recommend Alley!
