Charlotte .. says, " I think Ann started around the holiday season, she’s had about one academic semester of once per week classes. She was still 2 years old when she started at Ottley’s Music School. Now she can find middle C, identify A, B or C anywhere on the keyboard, read notations like piano meaning play softly, fortissimo meaning play loudly, and quarter rest. She has been introduced to half and full notes and rests, but doesn’t yet consistently apply them. She can play simple 3-note sequences with either the left or right hand but sometimes prefers to play all notes with either her thumb or index finger rather than following the assigned fingers for each key. It’s really an extraordinary amount of progress for her age. I’ve been surprised" Read more

I began taking accordion lessons from Mike Rubin in June of 2020 after many years of not playing. Mike is an accomplished musician who can effectively share his skills with his students in an organized and clear manner, as well as being understanding and encouraging. Most of all he is willing and able to teach to the student's priorities and allows you to set the agenda for what you want to learn. I would highly recommend him.
