    Aaron taught me piano lessons all throughout my teenage years. Hes a great pianist, first of all. Hes 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. Wed do the books, but hed also help me with songs that Id chosen that were interesting or important to me.
    Id say one of Aarons best teaching skills is his patience with youth. Im certain I must have been a frustrating teenager at times. Id play while he was talking, fail to practice, do the theory homework 3 minutes before he came. But Im 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 youre an adult taking lessons, I also *highly* recommend Aaron. Aaron isnt only a great Piano teacher, hes a great friend.
