All four of our children have studied piano with John O'Keefe. Our younger two children are still students of John's. Our older son is now studying to be a music educator in college and our second oldest son has achieved a very high level of proficiency and musicianship at the piano. I attribute our children's success in music to beginning piano instruction at an early age with Mr. O'Keefe.John has high expectations for his students within the welcoming and relaxed atmosphere of his own home. The location is nearby for us, but easily accessible from any suburban area. His rates are affordable and fair. Furthermore, the times that John offers for lessons has worked well with our children's busy schedules.Not only do John's students learn to play the piano, but he also helps them learn music theory in a sequential format that helps them to understand how music works. Finally, our children have always looked forward to and have participated in the annual recital that is very well organized and enjoyable.

John O'Keefe is an outstanding professional performer, studio engineer and music educator. I have personally studied keyboard with John and have made recordings in his studio. He is always patient, upbeat and positive. What most impresses me is that besides his skill and love for music is that he deeply cares about each of students. It does not matter if you are a beginner or an advanced pupil, John will assist you in playing at a new level. I highly recommend John O'Keefe for piano instruction and the musical services he provides in his state-of-the-art music studio. Jeffrey M. Dire, Ph.D.

My son has taken piano lessons with John for several years. He is an excellent teacher for students of all levels and is great with kids. My son also composes his own music and John has helped him with this, resulting in some great arrangements and recordings. His studio is high tech and I highly recommend!
