Carl is an amazing talent. I'm a Senior that wanted to learn Piano. When I was a Child I had taken private music lessons for playing the Organ. I returned to music a few years ago after buying a Piano and discovered that this wasn't so easy. I decided I need to take some lessons. At first it was difficult for me to play without being nervous "Stage Fright" at my lessons. How do you learn if you don't play your lessons in front of your instructor? Well Carl's easy going encouragement got me on track. Just under a year with taking lessons from Carl, I have gotten much more comfortable and confident. Through Carl's encouragement I have gotten involved with a Piano Club that also built my confidence to play for an audience. I have worked through numerous songs from Classical to Jazz and some old Rock n Roll. Carl has taught me how to study a new piece with many tools from within Music Theory. I highly recommend Carl for a Piano instructor for anyone from childhood to older adults like myself. Scott P.

Ms. Jennifer did a wonderful job with my two daughters, ages 8 and 7. In the short few months they had with Jennifer I feel they had amazing progress. Additionally she is very accommodating to any concerns we may have brought to her. She always keeps us up to date on their progress and what they need to focus on. I would have continued to keep my girls with her for the long term but sadly we are moving out of state. I would highly recommend her!

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.
