Reviews for Trenton classical piano lessons

Recent success stories from people in the Trenton area.

Katherine H.

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 have never met a more patient teacher—and being an educator myself, I’ve met a bunch! Paul doesn’t merely teach my two crazy kids how to play piano; Paul also incorporates values, habits for healthy work ethic, and music theory into their lessons. Most importantly, he is a huge proponent of growth mindset. He also encourages my children and me to reach out if we ever have questions or are confused about something. We just text him and he responds with an answer or a helpful video. He is an incredibly talented musician who also happens to be an incredibly talented teacher as well!

Amy is super talented, very organized, is flexible, uses creative teaching methods, and is very kind and respectful. She took on a special challenge when she agreed to do a joint lesson with me (a seventy year old and my seven year old grandson). We are now in our third year and loving it. I can't say enough great things about Amy and her teaching skills. It is hard to imagine how much both myself and my grandson have progressed. Thanks to Amy!

Marilyn is an excellent teacher. She has great patience and listens carefully to feedback. She considers her students' strengths and weaknesses when choosing music for lessons. She is very knowledgeable about music and teaching and uses her knowledge and experience to enhance the skills an abilities of her students. She is flexible with lesson times, doing her best to accommodate complex family schedules. I would highly recommend her to those seeking a well qualified professional teacher.
