Brett E. says, "I have been working with Dr. Steve Fiess of High Range Piano for the last 10 months as an adult piano student, and I have been extremely satisfied with his instruction. I have been making great progress, and I’ve been improving faster than I have in the past with other teachers. Overall, Steve is a quiet, calm, all-around kind person. He is always encouraging, even when offering constructive criticism of my playing. I always look forward to my next lesson. After each lesson, I leave feeling good about my playing, and also like I received good feedback, so I know where I need to improve. Steve has been great at helping me select songs to play. As we move on to new pieces, the next one is always just the right difficulty--challenging enough to help me progress but always within reach with a little bit of work. He’s also always open to me bringing in pieces that I want to work on. I usually bring a few in, and he helps me decide which piece will be the best fit for my current skills. Steve’s depth and breadth of piano knowledge is also impressive. I often ask him questions about why a particular piece is written a particular way or some other detail about a piece. He always has a thorough answer that covers the relevant areas of music history, theory, and practice. I’ve never met another piano teacher who is so knowledgeable about the piano and piano music. It really helps to give some context to the music I’m playing and helps me understand it better. Overall, I’ve been very pleased, and I would not hesitate to recommend High Range Piano to anyone looking for a piano teacher. " Read more

Yule B. says, "I was doubtful about taking Piano lessons, because I didn’t believe I could play such a complex instrument. Nevertheless, after talking with a friend who recommended Cesare Della Noce, I decided to give it a try. Now, and I am very happy that I did it. Cesar has a great method to teach how to play such a complex instrument. Cesar taught me the fundamentals of sight reading, technique and theory. I was also able to incorporate my favorite songs into my lessons. I went from playing the piano slowly (basic) to a more advanced and fast paced level. I am enjoying very much to be able to express myself through the music I play in my piano. I'm getting better each day and constantly taking new challenges by selecting songs with higher level of difficulty. THANK YOU Cesare. I highly recommend him. " Read more

Heather G. says, "Valerie is so skilled at teaching musicianship, theory, and piano performance to students of all ages- my children took from the ages of 4 and 6 through graduation from high school, and now I take as an adult student. We appreciated Valerie's flexibility and understanding of scheduling make ups when special events or illness occurred with the children, and her flexible choice plan for summer lesson scheduling. Valerie instilled confidence in our children through her positive teaching methods, and life lessons such as dressing for and conducting themselves for recitals and auditions, writing music resumes for applications as they got older, and using their gift of musicianship to help others and provide enjoyment for family. They loved that Valerie cared about all of their interests and school work- that she wanted to help both of them become well rounded people, as well as great pianists. She became an important member of our family while the kids took lessons from her, and I'm so grateful that she teaches adult students so this "empty nester" can continue the joy of piano playing for years to come.

No two students are identical, so I tailor my teaching to the interests and abilities of each student. Music is an aural art, not a visual art, so I encourage students to learn to play by ear and to learn to read music notes. In addition to teaching music I also teach important life skills such as techniques for problem solving and smart and efficient time management. Self-esteem is nurtured through measurable progress, and I encourage students of all ages to participate in the optional student recitals which take place in a friendly supportive environment.

Mrs M.
Cesare is an amazing teacher! He taught my 7 year old and 12 year old piano. His mix of theory and technique were perfect! He met each child where they were and pushed them as they were ready⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ His voice is comforting and it’s like the piano is extension of him as a person… he really fees the music and that comes across in the lessons!

Valerie is a an excellent teacher who pays attention to details in teaching us to develop skills in playing the piano. She encourages us to stretch ourselves and teaches at our skill level yet has high expectations of us to work toward advancing our skills. I have enjoyed my 4 years of learning from Valerie, and I plan to keep learning and developing my piano skills. I am very happy that I found her and have her as my piano teacher. I highly recommend Valerie to both adults and children.
