JoAnne M. says, "Maestro is an extremely gifted teacher with an incomparable background and experience which he brings to bear on his work with students. He teaches all aspects of music and has high standards. Only the serious student need consider working with him. That said, he is kind and patient and always works in the best interest of his students. An opportunity to study with him is a gift. I have studied piano for over 40 years, but the 20 months I have spent with Maestro have been more enlightening and taught me more music than any other experience. He is beyond compare. " Read more

How long must you take piano lessons to play classical?

You must take piano lessons for 1 to 2 years with consistent practice to play simple classical pieces. Some people can make faster progress if they practice more often or have prior musical experience.

How do I find the best classical piano lessons near me?

Ms. Hampton is a kind, friendly, and experienced piano teacher with a lot of patience. My daughter, who has been her student for 6 years now, likes her teaching style. Ms. Hampton knows how to motivate and encourage my daughter to enjoy music and to try her best. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to learn piano.

Gail is an outstanding piano teacher for my children. She is highly trained in the Suzuki method, but also incorporates other excellent materials for sight reading, theory, etc. She has high expectations of the students and has their respect. At the same time she is very patient, engaging, and loving. Gail puts a lot of effort into using techniques which will motivate each child at each stage of his development. Through the studio we also engage in valuable group classes, recitals, social events, workshops, competitions, and piano performance as a service opportunity in the community. Being part of the studio is much more than a weekly lesson. Highly recommend!
