Learning cello from Jodi has been a highlight of my last 4 months. As an adult learner, with no previous musical instruction, I think I present some unique teaching challenges and Jodi has been brilliant at meeting my specific needs. I also appreciate her supportive instruction, humor, porch concerts, and involvement in her community. I highly recommend her, and look forward to learning from her for years to come. -- Alix Lambert

Explains things in an easily understandable way; keeps lessons fun while including music theory. Improvements already apparent after just a few lessons. Comfortable rehearsal space, plenty of educational materials, and very clearly a skilled instructor.

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.

So thrilled to have Jim as my daughter’s instructor! He’s incredibly friendly, kind & patient. He has an obvious love for all music & is a wonderful teacher. In just two lessons my daughter is already playing one of her favorite songs & she’s so excited about her lessons! Couldn’t ask for more!

Coach Nat worked with my daughter patiently, she has a disability and since I'm always nervous with pairing her with different instructors I was surprised how fast they connected. Music is able to calm her and coach Nat, with having no experience working with children with disabilities was able to help my daughter through music with fun activities. We no longer are able to work with Coach Nat since we relocated to New Jersey, but I recommend her highly! She's funny, patient, a great listener, and is amazing with kids.
