Jocelyn D. says, "Rebecca is awesome!!! She was truly so engaged and skilled will my two (very different) kids. When my older daughter struggled and decided that piano was “not for her” we pivoted to singing lessons that really met her where she was at. She had so much fun! My younger daughter loved learning piano! Rebecca always found gentle ways to bring them into the music and they both really liked connecting with her and generally, it was lovely to have her in our home for in home lessons!

Cadie G.
Rebecca has really put my daughter at ease - she is having fun learning piano and taking voice lessons. My daughter has been learning and making progress without feeling stress, which is what I hoped for when looking for an instructor. She enjoys working with Rebecca and reports that she is super nice! Rebecca is also great with communication and trying to find times to reschedule when needed (illness, being out of town). We highly recommend working with Rebecca!

Alf is a great teacher and a nice guy. He has a very professional teaching setup with videos and customized lessons. He's helped me get back my excitement for playing guitar and I've already learned more music theory than I expected to learn. Very happy with these lessons!

I began studying guitar with Adrian 3-1/2 years ago after not having played music for 30 years. I have learned more from him in that time that I did previously in 13 years of study. Adrian enjoys teaching and knows how to teach, and has encouraged me to do my best and have confidence. It has truly been one of the best experiences of my life.

Daniel is an awesome guitar teacher who knows the instrument very well and has tons of experience performing! He is great with kids and knows how to tailor lessons to your specific needs. He comes to our house and my son is always super excited for his lessons. I would definitely recommend lessons from Daniel before he gets famous.

Ryan is such an incredible teacher! He is thoughtful, intuitive, and worked with me in a way that made me feel comfortable and challenged. I was terrified to take lessons, and he put my mind at ease with a gentle, compassionate approach to music instruction. Ryan gave me the fundamental lessons, and then let me choose what I wanted to learn. This made me want to keep practicing and learning. I HIGHLY recommend Ryan for anyone, at any skill level.

My daughter is 11 and takes lessons with Rick. We could not be happier with the lessons! His communication style is perfect with kids, authentic, kind, direct and funny. My daughter loves the lessons and talks about how much she loves them with her friends. The lessons themselves a a good balance of theory, music literacy and creative invention. I also love the consistency of the lessons and how my daughter is able to work on a project from beginning to end over a a series of many lessons and to feel the success of pulling off a difficult piece completely. Rick is the best!
