Mr. Terrien teaches while playing along with his student in harmony or melody, not just echoing the student's part, which provides the student with the very real pleasure of 'jamming' as a real musician through the majority of the sessions. He interweaves high level music theory into lessons where the knowledge logically supports technique growth, making it feel less like a homework task and more like unlocking understanding. In the year my son has played and performed with Mr. Terrien, his interest in playing has deepened from, "this is kind of interesting" to "this is part of who I am and what I do", and that growth of passion is what parents hope for their child as they pursue a new skill.

These are the following reasons why I continue to study with Catalin Iacob!: -the piano lesson is for whatever the student wants (from the start of the first lesson) -able to schedule make up lessons should something come up from student -educational background vast enough even for more experienced or even semi-professional piano players -open to any composition the student brings (even videogame or animated film original soundtracks) -emphasis on enjoying the music rather than competing to be the best musician -no punitive teaching methods -gets to know the student as a person -focus on sustainable piano-playing techniques resulting in fewer injuries and longevity in hand joint health! I started playing piano as a 7-year-old, and Dr Iacob is the best piano instructor I've had in my 22 years of playing piano!

“I enjoy taking lessons with Ms. Heather because I learn a new song in every lesson. She is always willing to help with anything. She gives you resources to use if you get stuck, like sheet music and recording of her playing the songs that we are working on. Ms. Heather helps you to understand why you are doing something, instead of just having you do it. And, over the course of my lessons with Ms. Heather, I have learned around 93 pieces of music.”
