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’m retired and getting back into sax after many years. Mr. Niwa’s clear explanations and patient teaching have helped me understand improvisation in a way I never did when I was younger.

Working with Gayle has been a wonderful experience over the last 6 months! I can't believe how far I've come just from practicing her unique techniques and methods. Every time we have a lesson, I feel that we always make great progress, and even with the challenges I face, I put what she teaches me into mind to try and be the best I can be. I can't wait to see how far I will go in the future, because I know Gayle won't let me down!

James is a FANTASTIC guitar player and musician. His knowledge of the instrument, as well as theory, is rare, and his positive and encouraging attitude makes him a joy to work with! I would recommend him to anyone, from beginners to more advanced students. You will NOT regret signing up for lessons!

Taking vocal lessons with Sarah has been the best decision for my voice. She’s helped me build confidence and feel secure in every performance, audition, and rehearsal. What I love about Sarah is how she explains things in multiple ways to help any student understand. I’m a visual learner, and she always gives me clear mental images that make concepts easy to grasp. Beyond her amazing teaching, Sarah is the kindest person. She makes every lesson feel comfortable, no matter what kind of day I’ve had. I recommend her to all my friends and will continue to do so. Thank you to Sarah!

Gabe has taught my daughter piano for more than two years. He is patient, kind, and a skilled musician and teacher. A few things that are really important to me as parent (and an educator)-- he really seems interested in her learning process. He keeps her engaged with teaching songs she wants to learn; he incorporates activities that help her grow her skills (reading music, rhythm); his kindness plus his love of music makes my daughter totally engaged. Gabe is great in person and on-line. I recommend him highly!

n addition to the traditional music theory and performance instruction, Dina has tailored her approach to teaching my daughter based on her interests and skill. For example, she plays games with my daughter that help with learning theory (with pencil and paper and on the keyboard). They also listen to her favorite pop songs and clap out the beats. They talk about famous composers and listen to the classics. After a few months, Dina had my daughter start playing Bach. I will admit that getting her to practice is still a struggle, but then again I hated practicing as a kid too. I check in with Dina often on her study and I am happy that we are able to discuss different strategies to keep my daughter interested in studying piano. Overall, my daughter is building confidence and pride in playing piano. She felt quite proud performing Minuet in G at the recital and playing for family and friends. I believe that this has helped her appreciate the hard work she puts into practicing and taking lessons. I am more than happy with Dina's teaching.
