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.”

As a senior, I was interested in taking piano lessons as a hobby. Dr. Marcel made piano lessons interesting and a custom fit for my needs. She also runs programs for music therapy and concert events. Excellent!

Will has all the attributes of a great teacher. He is knowledgeable, patient and passionate about music. I look forward to the lessons. I always feel like I’m getting better. I take guitar lessons, but Will plays about 6 instruments in total and I think his musical acumen brings and added intangible to the lessons.

I have taken 3 lessons with Dylan so far and I am really enjoying them. He is very good at picking up on what level I am at and how to push me without being harsh. He makes sure I am playing correctly before moving on and gives good practice exercises. It's a lot of fun to learn with Dylan and he takes the time to really look and listen to me playing and provide feedback which is the whole point of one on one lessons. He is very knowledgeable about music and very humble. He handwrites the tabs for lessons which is totally awesome. Looking forward to keep learning from him.

Lessons with Tim were always fun and productive. He gave specific suggestions about technique to give me a better sound and he taught me a variety of ways to practice that continue to help me learn and understand jazz standards today. In addition to all of this, Tim is very encouraging and he creates a safe and fun learning environment.

As a newcomer to the piano, I have been taking lessons with Ms. Menconi for awhile now. Ms. Menconi has a love for music that shows itself in her teaching. She teaches at a level appropriate for the student, while having a deep knowledge of music theory on which to draw for inquiring minds. Whether working with a child or an adult, Ms. Menconi helps students make the progress they desire. I highly recommend Ms. Menconi for piano lessons in Northern New Jersey.

Gaby is super fun and easy-going. I found her way teaching music both informative, but also easy to understand and I am so proud of the song she helped me finish!

ZCK strived to bring the best out of their students by patiently cultivating the hidden skills inside them. My son enjoyed the working relationship that he has developed with them over the years!
