Reviews for Saint Paul piano teachers

Recent success stories from people in the Saint Paul area.
Camille W.
My daughter was fortunate to study piano with Dr. Low for eight years. He is a truly dedicated and inspiring teacher. Dr. Low holds high expectations for every student - not just in terms of technical skill but also in musicality, discipline, and personal growth. Lessons go far beyond playing notes accurately. Students are taught to pay attention to every aspect of their performance including how to communicate the depth and character of the music. Additionally, Dr. Low actively encourages participation in recitals, competitions, and exams. If you are seeking a teacher who combines rigor with encouragement and builds pianists who are confident, expressive, and musically literate, I strongly recommend Dr. Philip Low!
