My mother and I are very happy with our lessons! Very prompt, well educated and humorous. Makes the lessons fun while still implementing the discipline needed to succeed. He even brought me the sheet music for a song that I want to learn in the future. We are looking forward to continued lessons with C.J.!

My son has just started taking lessons with C.J. and he is enjoying it so much. Knowing that my son loves Star Wars, C.J. even brought him Star Wars music to learn. He is motivated to practice and looks forward to his lessons.

Our first lesson was great. Forget the old rigid piano teacher fear if you have one, CJ is easy going and teaches in a way that will keep your interest. Still have to practice but the lesson part is very enjoyable.
