She is able to tailor her lessons to her student's needs, and has reignited my son's passion for playing. Under her guidance for the past year, we have seen drastic improvement in my son's piano playing techniques. My son, who is usually super shy, has built so much more confidence in playing piano - he didn't hesitate to volunteer to perform at school. We came to her wanting to get ready to take the CM test for level 2 or 3. My son ended up passing level 5 with State Honors. I would definitely recommend Ms. Gyuli for piano as she goes above and beyond to get students piano playing journey to the next level.

I…read moresit in classes with my kids during lessons and I'm super impressed on how patient the teachers are with beginners. At the end of 10 weeks lessons, my son is able to play Ode to Joy on guitar and my daughter plays 4 different pieces at the recital. I'm very happy with their progresses and will continue to sign them up for lessons. So very glad to find this place. The place is very clean and adhere to covid protocols. Staff and kids wear masks the whole time they're inside. Staff are friendly and approachable. They're responsive to email inquiries. Overall, I give Villa Musica a perfect score!

Bertrand's Music is a music store focused on "school band & orchestra sales, rentals, lessons, and…read morerepair," as stated on their website. Our middle school band teachers works with Bertrand's Music exclusively and I understand that they trust them. The store itself looks nice. They had some instruments for sale displayed, along with music books. They have rooms for lessons in the back. The parking lot is usually congested though and parking is not easy. Our experience is only with getting an instrument repair quote from them. I'm sure the lessons and rentals are just fine here, but we would not exactly recommend Bertrand's for repairs, especially if you weren't even referred to come here by your school band for an instrument that belongs to the school. They have to ship out the instrument somewhere off site to even give us a quote, and we had to wait ten business days just to hear back that the instrument was unsalvageable and not worth repairing. They were unable to provide us with any written detail of what exactly needed to be repaired and what the cost would be. I'm not sure why they do it like this, because it appears a bit unprofessional. If you're looking for someone to repair a specific instrument that you own, we don't think this is the perfect place to bring it. It would probably be best to find someone who specializes in repairing that instrument to do it on site. Repairs were just one aspect of their business and it's technically a relationship between the school band and Bertrand's, so it didn't bother us. The staff were very nice and accommodating, and we appreciated that. They provided us with a receipt that the school needed, and it was as simple as that. Thank you!

There are many more positive reviews for Mr Khoi under "not recommended" - it's Yelp's automated…read moresoftware and there's nothing that can make those reviews active!! yelp is terrible! ---- Our twins have been studying piano with Mr. Khoi for the past 7 years. Looking at the "then and now" photos (then age 5, now age 12) makes my heart smile. We went from using a simple keyboard, to making the decision to haul my childhood baby grand across the country from my parents' home, because my children really love music. Khoi sets realistic expectations and teaches to each child's ability. He encourages them to practice, be committed and do their best, but isn't too strict or stern to make them want to quit. One of my children is naturally more gifted at piano than the other, and Khoi never makes the child with less natural ability feel badly. He always stresses that it's not how advanced you are, it's how the music makes you feel when you play -- if it brings a sense of happiness, joy, peace, calm.. and you're enjoying it, then that's all that matters. Khoi is a wonderful instructor and we feel so blessed to have found him so many years ago. He has helped cultivate my children's love of music and our family really loves having the beautiful melodies from the fill our home

We wanted to look for a teacher who participates in this program. Khoi has been involved heavily in the Guild for many years. From the initial contact, Khoi was very pleasant and answered all of my questions. He also asked a lot of questions to make sure he understood what level the kids were at. Khoi is an excellent teacher, the kids love him. He's very detail oriented and very clear on his expectations for the kids. He gives us updates on their progress and what they need to work on. Khoi is very punctual and reliable, which I appreciate, as that was a problem with our previous teacher. I highly recommend Brightstar PianoForte Studio.

Though her piece was less than one minute in length, it was wonderful to see her perform with pride. Since then, my 17 year old daughter has taken up piano with Miss Laura. She had taken lessons early in life, but was discouraged because of the teacher. Though my 17 year old will only have lessons this school year, (college next), her enthusiasm has been restored, thanks to Miss Laura. Miss Laura has the ability to reach into each of her students and bring out their individuality, thus a love for music. To have my daughters love playing the piano alone, or together, is a precious gift. I thank Miss Laura for that gift and I would highly recommend her! ~Kathleen Stark
