Mike J. says, "I came into lessons with Alice as a 37-year-old with ZERO musical experience in my life -- and she had me playing Mozart and Beethoven within 3 months! I really liked Alice's outside-the-box way of teaching; she would use analogies and metaphors to break down complex concepts into simple things to remember on the keys, to make learning more successful. She's also just a fun person to hang out with once a week! Can't recommend learning with Alice enough." Read more

Kerry S. says, " My young son and I had the good fortune to become piano students of virtuoso concert pianist Judy Kameny. Kind, patient and versatile, she is clearly skilled at teaching all ages. Using the traditional classical teaching method, Judy not only taught us how to play the piano but instilled in us a true understanding of theory, the “bones”, so to speak, of the pieces we were playing. For an unforgettable, rewarding learning experience I highly recommend Judy. She gave my son and me the gift of music and a love of playing the piano." Read more
