Aroba M.

Frank has been a tremendous help through my advancements in piano technique and interpretation. His application of Italian bel-canto principles, as well as his natural exercises of the hands and wrists, has broadened my technique in indescribable ways. Just by watching his hands play the keyboard, I can apply his principles to create an incredible interpretation from a technical and interpretive standpoint.

I had not played the piano for many, many years. Dr Iacob has incredibly patience and I learn new things every lesson. He understands and encourages me to meet my goals. At first I thought Dr. Iacob was too qualified to teach a senior citizen such as myself, and I wasn’t sure he would be right for me. I am happy to say I was mistaken and I look forward to ever lesson.
