Teresa L.

Wise teacher, inspiring pianist, sparkling personality: I enjoy every minute of my lessons with Geisa Dutra! She watches me like a hawk to guide how I can use my hands and my body to get rich sounds without strain or injury, which is especially important to me as one who began playing piano quite late in life. Working with Geisa makes me want to practice more! I am able to learn new music more efficiently with the insights she shares, and it's a joy to find myself approaching difficult (for me!) material with increasing confidence. I feel very lucky that she is my teacher.

Studying piano performance with Dr. Stravinsky has been a very pleasant life changing experience to me. The piano education I have been receiving from Mr. Stravinsky can be described as regular, inspiring, and personalized. His down to earth teaching style and enormous patience to me as an adult student make me believe all my dreams of piano performance are achievable. You will definitely experience the difference of being taught by someone who is a great music educator and meanwhile a brilliant concert pianist.

Aman is a wonderful teacher who combines excellent technical skills and aesthetics along with deep empathy for his student. He meets you at your level and uses that as a baseline. He customized his lessons based on what interested me besides the standard exercises to improve techinique. I enjoyed learning a few of my favorite Beatles and Hindi songs. His arrangements are unique and he often encouraged me to try my own. His intimate knowledge of base and other instruments also made classes a lot of fun. Even at a beginner le vel we "jammed" helping me develop confidence and experience the joy of performance. I highly recommend Aman to a committed student of music at any level.

We're grateful to have found Enna as piano teacher for both myself and my 9-year-old son. My son hated playing the piano from his previous piano teacher and now he enjoys it so much that I dont have to remind him to practice. She is organized and has lots of patience. She teaches more than reading notes by cultivating techniques and helps develop an understanding of musical theory and adding dynamics to bring a musical piece to life.

Paul is an excellent instructor. Our girls have been taking lessons from Paul for several years now and the progress they have made is amazing. He is very engaged and really tries to connect and understand each of his students to bring out the best in them. He tailors the lessons and music to their interests while at the same time gives them stretch goals to build on what they've learned. I highly recommend Paul and couldn't think of a better teacher.
