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!

Mr Resnick has been my boys’ piano teacher for approximately 4 years now. My boys have been progressing well under his guidance, they like working with him. Mr Resnick is kind, jokes with them and gently guides them towards improving. Under his guidance, my boys were able to pass so far 2 consecutive levels at the Royal Conservatory examinations. Mr Resnick is not only a great piano teacher but a generous soul, who likes working with kids. I strongly recommend him as a piano teacher.

Our son has been studying with Mr. Woo for 7 years now. During this time, we have watched him transition from a young student into a mature and accomplished pianist. Over the years, Mr. Woo has taken a genuine interest in understanding our son's goals as a musician and has provided tools to help him focus on achieving those goals and even reaching beyond them. Mr. Woo is positive and optimistic and his ability as a teacher is exceptional. Mr. Woo’s knowledge, patience and flexibility have been incomparable. Our son’s opportunity to study under Mr. Woo has proven to be invaluable and, as parents, we are grateful for all that he continues to offer.
