Irina Kasatkina has been teaching piano to my 11-year old son for two years. He has developed both an ability to play and an enjoyment of music because of Irina's thoughtful guidance. Her love of music and teaching is quite evident, whether she's teaching how to play, how to read music, or other music fundamentals. I am impressed with her kind and clear manner that encourages my son to explore the music. She incorporates his interests into the lessons, including helping him write his own compositions at age 10! She has won my son's heart and imagination, and he has this to say about Irina: "She helps me change what I"m doing wrong, she picks out the right books and songs for me, and she does it all very nicely." Perhaps the best recommendation is that he enjoys coming back every week for his lesson, and wants to practice so that he can improve every week! I would be happy to talk to parents about Irina's abilities as a piano teacher. Paul R. Peterzell

Charles responded to our inquiry very quickly. He has infectious enthusiasm for music and so far has been a great match for our kids, ages 16, 9, and 7. He comes to our home and charges a very reasonable price.

A true modern Master and as much a Virtuoso as a Teacher...

Working with Cheryl was such an amazing experience! I took lessons with her for over 4 years and grew as a musician so much. Not only did i kearn a lot, but I ALWAYS looked forwards to our lessons!

I had not had piano instruction for 46 years ! He taught me theory ; How to find and use the cords in any key ; rhythms; and playing as a worshiper and facilitator for worship . Also some beginning instruction on creating music . Beginning with familiar and adding one new element , words, tune, rhythm . Excellent Instructor !

Among Theresa's numerous gifts as a vocal coach is her astounding ability to leave judgement out of our coaching - I don't think she tries to do that, I don't think she can teach any other way. I've studied with her for close to 5 years now and am convinced that her highly developed intuition, which she marries flawlessly with her incredible technique allows her to teach me in a way that I can hear and understand best. I don't have to conform to her 'way' or 'style' but rather, she has stripped away everything in technique but what is useful to me and useful in a given moment or phase of my development. Her skill in articulating what is up for refinement comes from an unswerving devotion to uncovering my true and authentic voice. She is a miracle and a gift to me and I'll warrant, to all who wish to sing from that place of authentic grounding. I've experienced the glory of singing with a freedom that has lifted me to seek a quantum way of living - so I can continue to sing from that place! Theresa has been able to unlock with me, those places in my instrument that have been blocked and unavailable for integration. I wouldn't want to be on this journey with anyone else.

I wholeheartedly would recommend Aaron petit as a truly outstanding pianist and teacher. Although he is still young, he lacks no knowledge and passion for the music. If you are considering studying with the incredibly talented Aaron petit, you'll be glad you did! It will be something you can brag about in the future, because Aaron petit will undoubtedly have a sensational career. Just knowing Aaron is a pleausure. To work with him regarding music is touching and a great joy.

I enjoyed the different pieces I worked with and how there was some variety in the music. I also felt that Polly was able to accommodate well when a certain technique was difficult for me to understand the first time; she's great at explaining concepts in different ways.
