I’ve had a couple of lessons with Marco to learn how to play Jazz piano, and he caters his instructions based on your level and skill ability. It’s great because we focus on what I want to learn at my pace and understanding. Marco is also really great at explaining the fundamentals, chord structures, etc. and has a lot of great knowledge on jazz. Ive been really enjoying my lessons and getting better at jazz. Would highly recommend!!!

Marco is the best piano teacher. He’s very responsive and puts in the effort to ensure I understand all the fundamentals of piano. He helped me with many different projects, and under his instruction, I was able to get accepted to Berklee and UC Berkeley. He guided me through my school application auditions, and without him, I can’t imagine being successful as a music student.

Marco has been an amazing instructor. He is extremely professional and knowledgeable. Beyond his expertise, he is very personable and takes his time to teach. He assessed my level of proficiency and tailored his lessons to my needs and interest in learning jazz. It’s been a pleasure learning from him. I highly recommend him!

Marco was exceptional! As soon as we connected it was a great conversation. We gave a few suggestions with what we were looking for in terms of sound and style and he presented some samples from his work. We were also looking for a saxophonist and he suggested his colleague Barclay, who performed like a pro! These guys were great together and set the background tone for our Luncheon. They were very professional, on time and took direction well. We’d highly recommend Marco and look forward to bringing him into a future event. Thank you!
