Kenton is great! He has been teaching my 12 year old son and my son loves it! My son is not one to come out of his shell and Kenton had him smiling and talking from lesson one! He took something my son liked to do and taught him to love it!

My 11 year old grandson, Mason, has been taking classical piano lessons from Dr. Newbrough for almost 2 years, and we find Dr. Newbrough to be a brilliant and inspiring instructor. Every week when we get to Mason’s lesson it feels like we’re passing through a magical portal to a place of peace and well-being! Dr. Newbrough’s sense of humor and use of metaphors exude positive energy which helps to build Mason’s self confidence. Mason anticipates his lesson every week and works hard to make his teacher proud of his accomplishments. Since he has ADHD, Mason has difficulty maintaining his concentration and self control, but Dr. Newbrough is keenly aware of his need to move and then recenter his focus. Mason’s self esteem and belief in himself has soared, culminating in his excitement to perform at recitals and even competitions which I never thought he would do! The gift of piano music and practice in our house has changed and charged our home (and the neighbors’ homes when the windows are open!) with a rare calming ambience and feeling that all is right in the world. As an added bonus, Mason’s piano practice provides an antidote to playing video games all the time, lol ! The beautiful Newbrough Piano Academy has many confident and loving teachers dedicated to infusing piano music into the lives of students young and old. We are blessed to have found this amazing gem of a place, and plan to stay for many years!

Ellen is a wonderful and caring teaching! She is always thinking of new activities and ways to learn. I have learned a lot in my lessons. I highly reccommend!

Julia is incredibly communicative about issues with sound, bow hold, and posture. She always has a positive attitude with helpful feedback. She has VERY good rates and continued to offer her services when I express interest in another string instrument. Her teaching over Zoom is incredible and I would recommend her to anyone interested in learning to play the violin.

I have known Alison for three years. She is an excellent, responsible, and friendly instructor who goes above and beyond to ensure her students fully master each repertoire and to always challenge us to be better. Alison is able to explain difficult techniques in a much simpler way, and she makes each lesson enjoyable and interesting. In addition, Alison makes sure we are well-prepared for our final recitals by having mock recitals several weeks before and gives constructive feedback on how we can improve the pieces. Her enthusiasm and dedication in teaching show that she cares for her students, and she never hesitates to provide additional help.
