Amazing Teachers and Engaging Classes My 6-year-old son absolutely loved his piano lessons! The group classes were a fantastic experience—he not only enjoyed learning but also made new friends, which added to the excitement. Compared to private lessons, where he quickly got bored, the group setting made learning fun and engaging. One of the standout aspects is the biannual recitals. These performances are such a wonderful way to witness the students' progress and growth in confidence. Watching my son play piano in front of an audience and seeing his skills develop over time has been truly rewarding. Overall, I highly recommend this program to anyone looking for a fun, social, and confidence-boosting approach to piano lessons

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.

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.

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.)
