I took his lessons three times for the audition for the applied music program;then I passed it! He was teaching me not just music piece, but also some technical exercise for the piano. It is very helpful. Also, although my first language is not English, he explained to me everything clearly. He is a very nice teacher, so I highly recommend you to take his lesson as soon as possible.

My experience working with Mr. Oyster was phenomenal; not only is he skilled in his profession as a pianist, he is able to relay and pass on the knowledge as a skilled instructor. He has my highest regards.
