Justin has been very patient with my 8-year old who began with no knowledge of piano. It has now been about 8 months since he started and we've been extremely impressed with the level at which he can now play. Justin is very knowledgeable, is an accomplished pianist, and knows how to adapt his teaching to each individual student. We would highly recommend Justin to anyone interested in learning how to play.

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.

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.
