I’ve been absolutely thrilled with Dr. Peter! ! From the very first lesson, he has shown incredible patience, warmth, and skill in engaging my 6 yr old grandson, making every session fun and inspiring. Dr. Peter’s teaching style is perfectly tailored to a young beginner, using creative games and encouragement to build confidence and a love for music. My grandson has already learned so much, from basic notes to simple songs, and he looks forward to every lesson with excitement. Dr. Peter’s professionalism, clear communication, and genuine care for his progress make this experience truly exceptional. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a nurturing and talented piano instructor!

I have played the acoustic guitar for many years. Kendrick has challenged me to play new sounds, and I am currently expanding my guitar vocabulary. If you are looking to amp up your guitar (or piano/ keyboard) musical skills, Kendrick has a wealth of knowledge and skill. He is able to teach the theory of music well and plays with much soul and knowledge combined. Highly recommended.

My daughter loves learning piano with Jessa. She is 6 years old and she just finished her first set of books with her. She is excited every week on the day of her lessons and even enjoyed Jessa's flexibility to teach her via Zoom for a few weeks. Jessa is great with kids and very patient. We are so happy we found her.
