Reviews for Eagan classical piano lessons
Recent success stories from people in the Eagan area.
Paul Reeves B.
Samantha is a very knowledgeable and adaptive teacher. She has encouraged me to grow my skills and has re-awoken a love of the keyboard in me. Compared to the my state of play when I began half a year ago, today I feel encouraged and making progress.
It is a great sign when you leave a lesson feeling relaxed and somewhere along the way the nervousness you entered with has subsided.
I entered this effort to challenge myself skill and have found something that I hope to continue as a life skill.

Al Ynigues was very welcoming and friendly, and my first drum lesson went as well as could be expected for an extremely rhythm challenged student. Mr. Ynigues lesson plan was well organized and presented.

My daughter really enjoyed her first lesson with Matt. Previous instructors did not take the time to ask about her interests, goals, and music preferences. She really appreciated that Matt took the time to teach "with" her instead of teaching "at" her.
