I’ve been taking piano lessons with him for the past few months, and it’s been a fantastic experience! He is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and patient. He has a great ability to explain musical concepts in a way that’s easy to understand, making each lesson both productive and enjoyable. His passion for music and dedication to teaching really show in every session. I’ve made great progress under his guidance and look forward to continuing to learn. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled and professional piano teacher!

Opeyemi is an amazing talent! He played for our residents and guests at our assisted living and everyone had a great time! It was truly entertaining and he read the room very well, playing familiar music. It is clear that he enjoys his work and has honed his craft. Louis Armstrong, Stevie Wonder, The Beatles, Frank Sinatra and so much more. He is now booked monthly with us.

We hired Ope for a ladies’ night piano singalong in my home. He showed up on time, he had prepared so many songs from the list that I sent him, and was an amazing talent. He was kind and open to requests, too. Prior to the event, Ope was very responsive to make sure that we were aligned with how the evening would go.
I would and will absolutely hire him again with no hesitation. It was one of the best events I’ve hosted in a long time!
