Jay W. says, "My daughter, Vivian has been taking piano lessons from Ms. Lisa Thomas for last 4 years. Vivian describes Ms. Lisa as fun, friendly, patient and the best teacher. Vivian's favorite part of Ms. Lisa is that when she starts new songs, she often demonstrates the piece, record it and email it to her so she can listen and review how it supposed to sound like. Vivian likes to play Hymn during offering at our small church. Ms. Lisa has been great in helping to perfect the songs. I highly recommend Ms. Lisa as a piano teacher and am envious of her future students who can experience her contagious passion and love of music first hand. " Read more

Suzanne A. says, "Narciso has given me the structure and discipline to restart my musical studies after many years of not playing the piano. He is positive, encouraging and demanding, but understands the time constraints of the working adult- some practice weeks are better than others! He pays close attention to choosing appropriate material, works consistently on skill-building techniques, and handles my inevitable frustrations with sensitivity and thoughtfulness. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have found his studio and cannot recommend him highly enough. " Read more

Lisa is a fantastic teacher. She really takes the time to understand her students' unique strengths and talents and teach to those strengths. At the same time, she understands her students' challenges and areas that may need improvement, and she helps students to address those areas with patience, support and creativity. My daughter has learned so much from Lisa and has grown tremendously as a musician while studying with her.

Narciso Solero is an exceptional piano teacher. He gives students an excellent musical foundation, teaching them scales and arpeggios, music theory, sight-reading, and how to play with musical expression. He trains them to be ready for performances and competitions. The students have the opportunity to perform in multiple recitals each year, including a concerto recital. Receptions after the recitals create community among the families of the students. Mr Solero is organized. He maps out the year, performance dates, competition opportunities, and holiday breaks, in a calendar at the start of the school year. It is so nice to know in October what the recital date will be in February. He also uses organization to teach the students in a method that is easy for them to follow. The students are able to take ownership of their own progress and feel a sense of accomplishment after each time they practice. Mr. Solero taught our sons how to study and how to break down an overwhelming project into smaller pieces. He also taught them to work steadily toward their goals. Our younger son, who stayed in the studio for a couple of years, has a lifelong love of music and truly appreciates the time he spent in Mr. Solero’s studio. Our older son credits his 7 years in the Narciso Solero Piano Studio with preparing him for college auditions and acceptance into conservatory. We all highly recommend Narciso Solero Piano Studio.
