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!

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!

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!
