Dr. Xiao is an excellent teacher who has far exceeded my expectations. I am a recent retiree who wants to learn to play the piano and learn music theory. I chose Dr. Xiao because he is highly qualified with a doctorate in piano from the Peabody school and he offered piano lessons with music theory. I have been taking lessons with him for eight months now and I can attest that not only is he able to teach the technical aspects of piano playing but he is a very patient with and supportive of his students (which I need). He uses standard piano books for his lessons but has been willing to work with me on music I have brought to him and he has gone out of his way to support my interest in learning music theory. I would highly recommend him to beginners like me who are serious about learning to play the piano and also more advanced students who are trying to improve their playing.

My son has been a student of The Piano Hutch for the past six months and still continuing. Ian is a great teacher, kind, friendly and knowledgeable. My son enjoys learning with him. He has worked with him teaching him the notes first with flash cards and making it enjoyable. He gives a feedback after class about the lesson and progress. It has been a pleasure working with him and we highly recommend him

Klodina is first of all a dedicated and active practitioner in her field, constantly improving her own musical skills. This serves as a strong foundation for teaching students and keeping an eye out for opportunities for them to expand their involvement and seeing what the progression of their skills can ultimately lead to. She is also extremely patient and dedicated to her students, pushing them towards perfection in a nurturing and positive way that makes them want to learn. The recitals are well put together and gives students the opportunity for duos, trios and beyond, simulating a real world orchestral environment, not to mention providing a real treat to family and friends of the students. My daughter has been with Klodina for flute since she was 9 years old and now at 14 she is still as enthusiastic as ever. I think this unique skill will be essential to opening up opportunities for her in college and in life where differentiation amongst peers is crucial. Thank you Klodina for your dedication and commitment.

I like Heywon's lessons as she makes them a great learning experience. She very patiently adjusts to varying skill levels. I am an adult learner, and I really appreciate the commitment and flexibility that Heywon brings to each and every lesson. She helps me with both skills and theory, which helps me learn much better.

Ariel is an excellent piano teacher, with years of experience in all types of music. And one of the best parts of learning how to play piano with Ariel is that she makes it FUN! She has a way of teaching that makes you want to practice, want to learn different styles of music, and has brought me to a level where I never imagined I could play. No matter what your age, I would highly recommend Ariel Basham. You will enjoy every minute of it.
