Cynthia M. says, "I feel so lucky to have found Paul as a piano teacher. He’s kind and patient and very encouraging. He’s given me all new ways to look at the idea of practice. This has helped tremendously because sometimes you’re not able to sit at the piano, but Paul has taught me that looking at pieces of music, even while sitting on the couch and analyzing it, counts as practice. he has shown me great ways to look at a piece of sheet music and break it down so that it’s more approachable. If you’re an adult wanting to take piano lessons, don’t hesitate to contact Paul. I felt a little silly at my age, taking lessons again, but he’s very respectful and takes me seriously which is nice. he’s also a very upstanding human being."See more

Belinda G. says, "My 14yr old son wanted to take up guitar lessons but wanted the “in person” experience which is how we met Josh. My son has learned so much in the short time he’s worked with Josh. Josh is kind and works well with young people. He’s reliable and easy to work with. He’s amazing! If you are looking for that “in person” experience-he’s your guy!"See more

Joy C. says, "Brad is amazing! As a person he is easy to talk to and as a teacher he is very patient and incredibly clear. He is very knowledgeable and actively encourages students to explore and go beyond what is written in the sheet music. He always makes sure that lessons are going at a comfortable pace, and that pieces are enjoyable to listen to and learn. He is quick to point out things I need to fix, and he makes theory and techniques easy to understand and remember. I greatly appreciated his lessons and his understanding of my crazy schedule. :)"See more

Gene C. says, "As an older student, my learning ability and retention are not as good as they were when I was younger. Michael has the patience to work with people who may need a little extra time to absorb new material. He explains things clearly and will spend extra time going over challenging parts of a lesson. I’ve had numerous teachers over the last 15 years and he is the best."See more
