My daughter has been a student of Mr. Ron (that's what we call him) for about 2-1/2 years now. She began at age six. She looks forward to every lesson. It amazes me how far she has come and I owe that to his positive attitude and warm disposition. His encouragement is why my child has grown to LOVE playing this beautiful instrument. Thank you Mr. Ron!!

As a senior citizen student, Ron has lite the fire under my very rusty piano skills. He is a very friendly and polite young man. I have been taking lessons from him for only a few weeks now, but I am certain that with his music knowledge, desire for perfection, love of music, and his teaching method, that my goal to once again play the piano will be accomplished much earlier than I had anticipated.

I have had a wonderful experience with Ron. First of all he is very kind and has a calm, patient manner which has helped my sons relax and do their best. Also he is very gifted at pinpointing the source of the problems which has helped them improve their piano skills more rapidly. He is sensitive to special needs/concerns and goes out of his way to help make my sons successful at playing the piano. Finally he makes the lessons fun. I can still recall how excited Andrew was after Ron played a duet with him. Our family feels very fortunate that Ron has moved into our neighborhood. We hope he will be teaching piano lessons for a long time.

My daughter, Summer, 16, an honor student at Etowah High School, takes piano lessons from Ron. I love the way he challenges her to think while simultaneously encouraging her to develop a love for music. What used to be fear of failure has turned into quiet self confidence and an eagerness to try new things. We admire his incredible gift for teaching immensely and recommend him enthusiastically!
