Reviews for Bountiful classical piano lessons
Recent success stories from people in the Bountiful area.
Quinn S.
Aaron taught me piano lessons all throughout my teenage years. He's a great pianist, first of all. He's also an amazing teacher. Something I really enjoyed about having lessons with him is that he helped me to enjoy the music I was playing. We'd do the books, but he'd also help me with songs that I'd chosen that were interesting or important to me.
I'd say one of Aaron's best teaching skills is his patience with youth. I'm certain I must have been a frustrating teenager at times. I'd play while he was talking, fail to practice, do the theory homework 3 minutes before he came. But I'm sure grateful Aaron was patient with me because I highly value the skills he taught me.
If you have teenagers taking piano lessons, I *highly* recommend Aaron. If you're an adult taking lessons, I also *highly* recommend Aaron. Aaron isn't only a great Piano teacher, he's a great friend.
