Burdett is fantastic! I had no prior music knowledge and I have already learned so much in a very short amount of time. Burdett is very patient and explains music concepts in a practical way. Every lesson is challenging but FUN! If you’re looking for a piano teacher who will have you playing like a pro in no time Burdett is your guy!

My first session with Gregory was great. He made it very interesting and enjoyable. He is obviously a very talented pianist and I look forward to future lessons.

As a person who already has a musical background I was hesitant about music lessons. What more could I learn? MUCH!
Yanni and I have a wholly different style and background, but we both share a love for the piano. She continues to help me progress in my abilities with the piano and makes the learning experience fresh for me, connecting what I know with what what is being taught. She comes fully prepared with a new plan for each lesson, but has allowed me to set the pace of my learning, making sure I’m comfortable with the material before moving on. I sincerely sense her desire to have me grow in my musical abilities which is encouraging. Additionally both Yanni and Mr. Rice have been great in accommodating my schedule. It is a great to have a musical experience that centers around my needs musically and mentally which has allowed me to thrive. Highly recommend.
