Michael has been such a great teacher with my son. This was his first time taking piano lessons and Michael has done such a great job determining where to start and how to continue to best meet my son’s needs. He is patient and enthusiastic and always provides positive reinforcement. He starts off each lesson with an informal check in (how are you, how was your week) and then moves right into review and the weekly lesson. He communicates with me as well so I know how my son is progressing. This has been a really rewarding experience, not only for my son, but also for me to see the progress that he has been able to make with Michael. He is truly a remarkable piano teacher!

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!

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!

I like how Matt insists on slowing everything down to really get a good understanding of notes, rythem, etc. He is a very fun person and knows a LOT about music. Matt is a super supportive instructor!

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.

I started at the beginning of the pandemic learning from YouTube videos and it just wasn't sticking. I found Chris and after a few lessons things are really starting to click. He tailors lessons to my skill level and makes it fun. Thanks Chris!
