Sammie is a great teacher. She explains everything clearly and helps me learn notes faster. I also like how I can play fun pop songs in her class. She accompanies me with a more advanced part and it is fun to jam together. I feel like I am in a rock band.

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.

Working with Daniel is amazing. He goes above and beyond. When we started he took the time to focus on helping breaking some bad habits i had created while trying to learn by myself. For example, we went over posture, positioning of the guitar while playing and he even did performed some tweaks to my guitar to make it sound better. He is an expert about the instrument besides being an amazing player and for me that makes the entire difference between his service and the one provided by others.

I am an adult piano learner with a musical background in the voice especially. Aiesh is a kind and friendly teacher. She cares about the success of the student. I like the selection of books and other materials that she uses. For me it helps go over music theory well and solidifies it. Aiesh is good at pointing out when you need to play differently to match what is written in the music. She is very good at encouraging you both when you have done well and when you need to improve. I had a very positive experience!
