Alice L. says, "I have been a singer-songwriter for 19 years, trained in classical piano before that, and I have never had a music teacher as good as Kris. He makes learning jazz piano and music theory really easeful, tailors his lessons to what you’re interested in (instead of a rote set of exercises) and managed to always find me exactly what I was interested in doing even if it was esoteric, and was really encouraging and positive. My goal was to get a thorough grounding in music theory and learn how to arrange piano for my own songs, and I was amazed how easily it came with his instruction after years of wandering through pop piano on my own. I’ve referred several musician friends his way. Could not recommend more."See more

Laurie C. says, "To Whom It May Concern, I’m writing to share my wholehearted recommendation for Pierce Emata, who has been my piano teacher for the past six months. Even in this short time, Pierce has had a profound impact not only on my playing but on my relationship with music as a whole. From the very first lesson, Pierce created a space that felt welcoming, encouraging, and challenging in the best way. He has a gift for meeting students exactly where they are and helping them move forward with clarity and confidence. Every lesson was more than just instruction—it was a thoughtful, patient, and often inspiring conversation about music, expression, and growth. What I appreciate most about Pierce is how deeply he listens. He always knows how to guide me through something I don’t understand with just the right balance of clarity and support. Under his teaching, I’ve grown more comfortable at the piano, more expressive in my playing, and more motivated than ever to keep learning. Pierce is a wonderful teacher and a genuinely kind person. I feel lucky to have found him and recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for not just a piano instructor, but a mentor. Sincerely, Laurie Calzaretta"See more

Rob C. says, "Marcell is a professional, willing and able to adapt and overcome. His work habit is diligent, and product is smart and creative. Like many musicians and composers, his professional toolbox is packed, by necessity. But Marcell adds adept communication skills, including expert code switching across cultures and genres and will help focus the scope of the work and get you from concept to a workable product with useful, honest feedback. As a performer, and leader and a teacher he has remarkable dedication to growing his own capabilities and knowledge. Already a formidable jazz trumpeter and gifted improviser at the keyboard, he is a joy as a collaborative musician, either at the piano, the trumpet. His chops as a composer and arranger are evident in whatever he does. I have engaged him as a teacher, an accompanist or, and as a composer. He is a musical Swiss Army knife, capable, and very honest."See more
