Christopher goes above and beyond as a teacher. Every lesson has been fun and challenging, I plan to continue working with him for a long time!

She is an excellent teacher with a very knowledgeable and light hearted approach that comes from many years of teaching! I’m very pleased!

Ever since I was a little kid I admired classical piano, due to unfortunate turnover of circumstances I was unable to pursue my dreams and embark on this journey as a child. Eventually I tried to break into the world by self-learning practice, mostly by listening to music and copying without sight reading which I couldn’t do. Once I felt confident enough, I decided to apply for local teachers, I saw about dozens of teachers that shut doors right to my face saying it was far too late to get serious about music in the late puberty. Then I was recommended to Tazo’s studio by my friend. Although Tazo admired work I pulled off myself, he strongly believed as everyone else that it would mean nothing if I did not forget everything and start from scratch, unlike those old school teachers I’ve encountered who couldn’t see that the seed can only thrive nurtured not placed in a cast of shadows. Tazo gave me an actual plan, challenged me, worked with me diligently and in less than a year I could sight-read swiftly. After 3 years I’m performing not only Chopin which I admired, but also Rachmaninoff even Liszt. Tazo has unique and very down to earth approach that made me fall in love with music even more than I ever was. Undoubtedly inspiring performer himself, he has made hard techniques easy to grasp, and expression of music easy to understand for me. I highly recommend Tazo’s studio to anyone who wants to learn classical piano, and not just to learn but grow!

As a theory teacher, Patrick Kreeger possesses the exact teaching style the subject requires. Patience, availability for questions and dedication to my desire to learn best define my experience with Patrick. It was such dedication that also made him call me out when he didn’t think I was doing my best or was making careless mistakes. Perhaps this wouldn’t be that outstanding except that Patrick did all of this long distance; he was in Philadelphia and I was in Delaware. He was timely in mailing me assignments and tests, and even more so in grading and returning them. I learned more from him in the 2 years I studied with him than I did in my last year of theory in my undergrad at music school. If you have the opportunity to study with Patrick Kreeger, consider yourself lucky. You couldn’t find better quality teaching elsewhere.”

I am so glad we found Michelle of Take Note Lessons. We have a 5th grader and 8th grader who both actively enjoy piano lessons and are both progressing well. Michelle adapts her teaching style to fit students' personalities - we see this demonstrated weekly as our girls certainly have their individual quirks....and nothing seems to phase her! She's open and warm enough that they both feel they can talk to her and yet they quickly buckle down to work too. Strongly recommend!

Very good teaching. I am an experienced pianist learning violin, and Cedrick definitely knows how to teach classical violin. His teaching is very supportive and thorough in covering violin fundamental techniques and results in a lot of progress.
