Al Terza “Mr. Al” has been teaching my 2 children piano for 2 and half years years now. When they started my son had just turned 5 and my daughter had just turned 7. After just 3 months both were able to perform at the holiday show. I was surprised and really impressed that Al was able to teach them so much in such a short time. Now over 2 years later, both my children can read music, and have improved immensely. Al is patient and teaches to each child’s individual level. I look forward to many more years of Al working with my children and can’t wait to see them continue to improve.

Mr Terzo is a very kind, patient and experienced teacher. We have known him for more than 3 years, during which our children grew to love music, and love playing the piano, under his careful guidance. Mr. Terzo has always adapted his teaching technique to each of our children personality, age, and skill level. During the lessons, the consistent environment created is of confidence and comfort, with plenty of opportunities, and advice for the child to improve and master the skill. The lessons are based on series of books, well-structured music material, offering the child an optimal learning path. We highly recommend Mr. Terzo as a great music teacher!
