Dr. Lee is an exceptional teacher! Both of my kids, ages 5 and 4, did not have any prior experience with piano, but they have learned and picked up their piano skills really fast after a couple sessions with Dr. Lee. They also start to play piano as a hobby at home. Highly recommended!

The Ottley Music School has been instrumental in helping my daughter learn to read music and perform appropriate but challenging pieces. The teachers encourage each child to reach their potential while providing top notch instruction. We are happy with the quality of instruction and performance opportunities our child has received at Ottley Music School.

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.

If you are looking for inspiration to start or get better at your game Vincent is a great coach. At each lesson Vincent patiently shares his experience, gives tips not only at the lessons drills but shares insights on how to get fit and prepare yourself for the real game. I was a total beginner when I started tennis lessons with Vincent and just a month later I feel a lot more confident. I highly recommend Vincent!

Working with Daniel is amazing. He goes above and beyond. When we started he took the time to focus on helping breaking some bad habits i had created while trying to learn by myself. For example, we went over posture, positioning of the guitar while playing and he even did performed some tweaks to my guitar to make it sound better. He is an expert about the instrument besides being an amazing player and for me that makes the entire difference between his service and the one provided by others.
