Mary L. says, "Doug has been an exceptional piano teacher to my 7-year-old son. He keeps my son interested during the hour-long lesson--a herculean feat--and is able to gently bring him back to task when he inevitably strays. Doug also provides helpful feedback and is always responsive to inquiries. I recommend Doug for learners of all ages." Read more

Bode says, "Liz is my 14 yr. old daughter's vocal coach and I cannot say enough about what a wonderful experience it has been! She has helped my daughter improve her vocal strength and quality and taught her breath control. She's teaching her how to mix her head voice and chest voice for smoother transitions. She has helped her find more power behind her voice and a new level of control and ease. She has challenged her and brought her voice to a beautiful new level! Liz helps my daughter with music for her H.S. mixed chorus and jury tests, for which she has received high recognitions. She also helps her prepare for musical theatre auditions and other school performances. She encourages her to bring in music that is special to her or just fun pieces she wants to attempt. She helps her find her strengths and weaknesses and really pushes her to go further than she thinks possible. Liz has a warm and wonderful personality which has really made my daughter feel comfortable, especially when singing songs that require her to be vulnerable and connect to her emotions. She runs an extremely professional studio and the payment, scheduling, and communication process is easy and efficient. Liz is an EXCELLENT teacher and I highly recommend her !" Read more

Bill P. says, "Jonathan is an excellent and highly knowledgeable teacher, and he immediately determined the areas where I needed the most work after assessing my skill set. I had played for decades, but developed only a very shallow understanding of notation, nuance, dynamics, and pedaling. Within a couple years, my technique and interest level in all things related to the piano increased dramatically. A great attribute of his program is the use of online lessons, which Jonathan refined during the Covid lockdowns - although skeptical at first, I found that the lessons through Zoom were almost as beneficial as actually being in his studio. He has developed unique teaching tools and applies them very effectively. Highly recommended for all levels of piano students. Bill P. " Read more

The Paul Michael School of Music is very selective about which teachers we hire so you receive only the best. While our teachers have outstanding musicianship (sight-reading, technique, expression), they also have the more rare aural skills, theory knowledge and compositional talent to create a truly unique experience for you or your child. Our teachers don't rely solely on method books and old public domain music, they keep lessons fresh and exciting by composing original pieces individually catered to their students. They also arrange pop music so you can play the music that you relate to regardless of current skill level. It is incredibl...

Reviews for Philadelphia classical piano lessons

Recent success stories from people in the Philadelphia area.
Daphne K.
My kids started taking piano lessons with Kathryn a couple years ago. They have different learning styles and were at different levels but Kathryn could identify what they need to work on and engage them quickly. We observed noticeable improvement in their skills and sight reading after just a few weeks. The online piano and theory lessons are equally engaging and my kids are enjoying the classes as usual and showing amazing progress.

I started taking lessons with Liz at the start of my junior year. That year was the most transformative year for my voice. Everything about my singing had become so much better and my friends started saying they’ve never heard me sing like that. Liz knows exactly what to fix and how to fix it. I’ve never had a voice teacher that I’ve worked better with. She knows so well how to communicate and work with you through any issue. The thing that I appreciate most is how supportive she is. She has helped me be so much more confident in my singing and I don’t know if anyone else could have done that. I’ve never felt insecure or scared around her she is just such a warm presence. If anyone asks me about a recommendation for a voice teacher, I would recommend her without question.

Chris Oh is a very gifted guitar teacher. My son has learned so much from him and enjoys coming to his lesson every week and even enjoys practicing! The Dream School is a wonderful place to take lessons and the owners are a pleasure to work with. The recitals they have for the students are a perfect way to encourage playing in front of a group. Highly recommend the Dream School.
