Max is fantastic! I’m new to playing the piano & he’s been the perfect teacher for me…. patient, professional, attentive, knowledgeable, and caters our lessons to my learning style. He also excels at explaining theories etc. in a way that makes sense to a beginner. He’s easy to work with & I’ve learned so much from him in a short time. I highly recommend Max!

Max has been my piano a teacher for over a year now and I couldn’t be more grateful. He truly deserves five stars for being such a patient, professional, intelligent piano teacher.
I had very little experience/ knowledge of the piano starting out and I feel like I’ve learned so much with max, in such a short amount of time.
He’s super easy to work with, and very flexible. Taking piano lessons with max has easily been once of the best decisions I’ve made, and I 100% recommend him to anyone, with any amount of experience in the Slc area.

I started piano as an adult and was very nervous. Max has been an excellent teacher, very patient with me, and I'm very happy with how much I've learned with him as my teacher. He excels in adapting lessons to his students and explaining concepts in multiple ways so that it's understood. I'd recommend Max to anyone at any age who is interested in piano!

Max is a great piano teacher, especially if you want to focus on music theory. I've been taking lessons with him for a few months and already have learned a lot about playing music and jazz in general, in addition to specific piano mechanics. He has also been quite responsive and flexible with me when I've needed to reschedule lessons. Overall, would definitely recommend to any piano student.
