I really appreciate how patient and encouraging he is with my daughter. She loves playing music, writing songs, and playing with her friends. And I think in large part we have Jacob to thank for that. Would 1000% recommend him!

The time I spent with Alice made me more interested in piano. She is a very energetic and patient teacher, and her instructions are clear and concise so that I know what to do very quickly. She is also very comfortable to talk to and the learning process is always fun! I enjoyed studying with her!

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.”

Been working with Frankie for a bit more than a year now and I have never worked with another piano teacher that was so responsive and willing to structure lessons based on my individual music goals. I do music production and songwriting so Frankie has helped me take my understanding of music theory and apply it to my work and practices. He designs specific exercises to work through between lessons so that I can continue my studies when I have time and then review when I'm back in a lessons. Would recommend to anybody, beginner or advanced. Frankie is a great paino teacher who truly knows what he is talking about.

Jessica is an awesome instructor! She is always patient, thoughtful, encouraging, and attentive. Using positive reinforcement, she points out good things I'm doing and offers additional tips. Every lesson has gone by so quickly and has taught me so much. It's awesome to see myself improving and to have a teacher who is as equally excited about it as I am. Her lessons are structured but personalized, which is exactly what works. Her years of experience with the piano really shine through and you can feel confident knowing that you are working with someone who really knows their stuff. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking to start piano from scratch or who is wanting to take their skills to the next level.
