Omar is wonderful. My son is 6 and usuallyl very shy but he is very comfortable and responsive to Omar’s teaching. He is learning so quickly and I am so proud of how well he has picked up the piano with Omar!

My daughter has had a wonderful experience learning from her piano teacher. Mr. Omar is incredibly patient and always takes the time to help my daughter understand and correct the mistakes she makes. His teaching style is encouraging, supportive, and professional, which has helped my daughter grow in both skill and confidence.

Omar was a great teacher who made each lesson challenging but fun at the same time. I learned a lot from him in a short time about finger picking and chord progressions, and he introduced me to a lot of perfect songs to learn on guitar that I wouldn't have known otherwise.

I have been playing and studying music all my life. I have my A.A. degree in music and have studied with renowned musicians from Julliard like Dr. Art Davis. I have been teaching now for over 15 years at various music schools, high school, community centers, college, as well as privately.
