Sarah A.

We were so fortunate to have had Ms. Foster as our daughter’s piano teacher for four years. Under her guidance, our daughter has grown tremendously not only as a pianist but as a musician. Ms.Foster has an incredible talent for teaching, blending technical skill with music theory in a way that has been engaging and empowering for our daughter. She provided a strong foundation in music theory, which has given our daughter a deep understanding of the music she plays in all music endeavors she engages in. Ms.Foster also emphasizes the importance of musical expression, helping develop her students’ own style and confidence. We’re so grateful for Ms.Foster’s patience, expertise, and encouragement—qualities that make her truly an exceptional teacher.

Mrs. Barfield has been an amazing teacher to my children; they have become little Mozarts in the short time that they joined Mrs Barfield's studio. She is very kind to the kids and does a fantastic job at transferring knowledge. Here's a testimonial from one of my kids that attends Mrs Barfield's studio: "She's a very nice piano teacher, she encourages us to do our best and she helps us with our assignments"

I am a retired professor and wanted to take up piano again after 50 years of not having a lesson and playing very little. Ryan has been amazing. He is very professional and knows his stuff. He challenges me in good ways and after just 3 months I have already learned (and unlearned) so much! I highly recommend Ryan for people like me.
