Pyllis has been teaching my kids for over 2 years, now ages 7 and 9. My 9 yo daughter made huge advancements in her skill compared to a previous teacher she had for a few months. Compared with their peers also taking piano elsewhere, they are certainly more advanced. Phyllis is kind a d patient but also definitely implements needed structure and feedback for kids to continuously improve. She will be my kids piano teacher as long as she is still teaching. Both my kids have read this review and stamped their agreement.

I had always wanted to learn piano and I wanted to have something that my kids and I could learn together. I needed someone who was going to be good with both adults and kids and Rachel fit that perfectly. Rachel helped me by being so patient and encouraging. She made the learning process really fun but always challenged us to try to push ourselves in our learning. Her encouragement helped us want to practice in between lessons and we looked forward to her visits. She helped grow our love of learning music instead of making it feel like a chore. We were always excited to learn new songs and new lessons. My kids were very comfortable learning from Rachel. When they were struggling or made mistakes, her encouragement helped them to push through and make great improvements. I would highly recommend Rachel as a piano instructor to people who want someone to foster an enjoyment of music and instill artistry in their lives. ~ Diana Milligan

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.

Carl is musician first, guitarist second, which I appreciate a lot. He has an uncanny way of knowing what to teach me next. This goes all the way back to our first lesson, when I gave him a few tidbits of information about where I was with the instrument and what I was looking for. He started off with some cool modal stuff that I'd never seen before that tied what little I already knew together beautifully. I leave every lesson with new insights, feeling motivated and excited about my progress. (And believe me I've had my share of guitar instructors for whom I would not say the same.)

I have been taking piano lessons with Angela for about 8 years and I am now in 8th grade. Angela is an amazing piano teacher and has inspired me from the very first lesson to enjoy learning how to play the piano and to understand the world of music. She respects her students’ interests, such as what kind of music they are interested in playing, and encourages all of her students to accomplish their goals and to share their music with those around them. Angela’s piano lessons have not only helped me to become the pianist that I now am, but have also taught me to appreciate music. The lessons have allowed me to quickly learn how to play other instruments such as the ukulele and violin, due to having studied music in so much depth, to include theory and technique. I would definitely recommend Angela to anyone interested in learning how to play the piano.
