Cassandra D. says, "Harrison is an incredible piano teacher! He is wonderfully patient, kind, and brings a fantastic positive energy to every single lesson, making the entire experience so much fun. I’ve been his student since January 2026 and each session is filled with so much knowledge yet it doesn’t feel like a chore. He goes beyond just telling me about technique and theory by shows me exactly how to move my body so I can play with total ease. Even had a broken pinky and he knew exactly how to pivot our lessons during the recovery! His creative approach breaks down chords perfectly, completely unlocking the ability to play by ear, improvise, and recreate songs. With the chords and ear training I could easily hear a song and start jamming out on a piano on the spot, which is a great party trick :). Harrison helped me find my own musical voice in the most encouraging environment possible. I cannot recommend him enough!"See more

Ruben Aldana says, "Its been an incredible experience to have Eli as my jazz piano teacher. Ive been able to see concepts much faster than learning on my own. He has profound knowledge and is incredibly talented. He also listens very intently to what Ive been trying to accomplish and does not withhold knowledge. I absolutely recommend him as a teacher. Great person too."See more

Kevin Blake says, "My Son has been a student of MTYH for 5 years and we could not be more pleased. The teachers are true professionals. MTYH has really helped our son grow to love piano and his development has been excellent. The recitals held each year are so fun and they give him an opportunity to perform along with his peers in front of an audience. We have had two different teachers through MTYH and both have been excellent. They are kind and patient and really make learning fun for a young musician. I highly reccommend using MTYH if you think you might enjoy the benefits of professional music instruction in the comfort of your own home."See more

Jared S. says, "Growing up, I had very little exposure to making music. I had no idea how to read music, I had no sense of rhythm, and I had basically no idea what music theory was about. With that said, I had been plucking on the guitar for around 10 years and had been working on some pretty complex songs. The results are that I could play some cool stuff really poorly (I remember trying to play the theme from Pirates of the Caribbean and someone thinking I was playing Flamenco). Austin was able to meet me where I was at. He spent time walking me through music theory, how to use a metronome and what different rhythms should sound like. He also walked me through the sheet music of several pieces that I had wanted to play for quite some time. I slowly developed confidence in playing the pieces that I loved. We shifted our conversation from just playing the right notes to expression. I found I loved playing guitar even more when I had control over how the guitar was speaking. I got a taste of what is means to be a musician. Austin's expertise and approachability both shine through in his lessons. He was always very kind and patient. I never felt dumb, even when my understanding of a topic was remedial, and I could consistently feel Austin's enthusiasm when working with me. Studying with Austin is an easy recommendation for me to give!"See more

Summiah Laviba says, "Helen is a highly experienced performer and teacher with a deep understanding of music and technique, but what stands out most is how she tailors everything to you. As an adult learner with six years of violin experience from high school, I was a little nervous about starting something new.However, from the first lesson, she took the time to understand how I learn, what kinds of pieces Im drawn to and how to understand music structurally. Because of my violin background, I carried tension into my wrist at the piano, but Helen noticed right away and helped me fix it so playing felt more natural.Helen is super patient and easy to talk to, but she also knows exactly when to push me out of my comfort zone. When a piece feels too hard, she breaks it down and helps me build the confidence to get through it. If youre looking for someone who knows her stuff, makes learning fun, and supports you every step of the way, no matter your age or experience, Helens the one."See more

Adrianna C. says, "If I could choose more than 3 things she is great at I would! Since taking classes with Tiffany I have been improving very quickly. I went from not knowing anything to moving through all the major scales in a month. She encourages me to learn from the method book, but to also go beyond the book and try to learn songs I enjoy. It is the perfect pace for someone who enjoys independent learning with guidance along the way. She also is so good at meeting you where you are at. So, if you're someone who prefers more attention while learning she is perfect for that too. She makes learning the piano not so intimidating and going to her class really just feels like meeting up with a friend who will teach you to play the piano. I have done three classes with her and already have the fourth one booked. I don’t see myself stopping anytime soon!"See more
