Both my sons take drum lessons from Lael. He was recommended to us by a local music teacher. They absolutely love it. They have learned so much and look forward to their lesson each week. Lael makes it fun and engaging. I can’t say enough good things about what he gives to the experience of learning. I would highly recommend him.

Allegro Music Academy has been extremely valuable to my family. My children have taken piano lessons from Andrea for several years and have grown tremendously. She is very knowledgeable and knows how to motivate them to practice and perform their best. Andrea provides very detailed lesson summaries along with a road map of areas of focus between lessons. She is very pleasant and personable and has become a part our the family. We are so grateful to have found her and know our children will benefit from having her as their piano teacher for the rest of their lives.

It is always a relief to find the things I want to do within a reasonable distance from my home, and one of the several locations for lessons with Mr Weinberg is only 15 minutes away. He is a wonderful musician and is very intuitive on which aspects I need more clear instruction on, and which come more easily for me. This may sound like an obvious part of teaching, but it is not a given with all music instructors. Having that extra attention has gotten me off to a very solid start with no time wasted during the lessons. I'm thankful to have found Mr Weinberg, he is a gem in the music world. Give him a try, I promise you will be pleased with the lessons, and with the outcome.

I have been working with Mark as an adult for about two years and am thrilled with the progress he has helped me to achieve. Having previously taken 7+ years of on-again, off-again lessons as both a child and an adult, I was forever frustrated that I knew technically "how to play" the piano; but, practically speaking, I couldn't really play anything that interested me very well at all. Mark quickly got to the bottom of that and taught me what I never learned before... "how to practice"!!!
He patiently and encouragingly broke everything down with me to the most basic of practice steps to master each song one layer and measure at a time. For me, everything else failed, but this is working. We've gotten through Claire de' Lune are now rounding the corner with Beethoven's Pathetique. Thank you, Mark!

Daniel Piano is a great teacher who not only helped me in my technique, but in my listening/voicing abilities as well. His overall musicality is evident in his teaching! Will continue to recommend Daniel Piano!
