They really know how to work with your child with different personality, even my daughter who started at 4 as well. But my daughter was a bit of a challenge because she wouldn't sit still. They knew how to capture her interest so she would be interested and focused. They Both play piano beautifully. Thanks Shawn and Dan!

I started taking cello lessons here in January on the recommendation of a friend who studies violin…read morewith this same instructor. I'm a senior citizen who hadn't picked up an instrument in 50 years, forgot everything I had learned in compulsory piano and violin lessons as a kid, and never considered myself musical. However, I've always loved the sound of a cello and decided that this was a good time to learn. I could not have found a better instructor than Mark. His ability to communicate, support, encourage and explain are phenomenal! I really look forward to my weekly lessons with him. If you want to learn an instrument yourself -- at whatever age you happen to be -- or provide the kind of musical instruction that your kids will really enjoy, rather than dread, this is where you need to come! FYI, Mark teaches multiple instruments (cello, violin, guitar, piano, etc.) and his lessons are quite reasonable.

I've been taking lessons from Andrew since 2016! I started at a Music Store, and switched to…read moreonline zoom lessons during the pandemic. I moved to Texas in 2021, and have continued my online lessons with an occasional in person lesson when I'm in town. I played in marching band in high school and college, but never really became proficient on the drumset. After retiring from my job, I decided to start playing again. Andrew evaluated my skills, and picked songs that set me up for immediate success! I've performed in recitals, and I'm looking forward to playing at some open mic nights in the Austin area, and jamming with musicians in my community. Andrew has a great teaching style that puts you at ease, and helps you to learn at a good pace. I've really enjoyed playing songs that interest me and learning a variety of beats, grooves and fills. Great for all ages and skill levels!

Jonathan is an extraordinary vocal teacher and mentor. We were referred by a friend to Jonathan and…read morenow we refer him with our highest acclaim to all who ask us for a voice teacher recommendation. Jonathan's the best! Since their very first lesson, about two years ago, my child has experienced opportunities, musical roles, and celebratory moments we never could have imagined. Jonathan's teaching honors my child's individual voice, development, and artistic journey--as well as connects with interests outside of singing. He identifies strengths, builds skill with precision, and does it all with JOY and genuine care. He makes learning so enjoyable that my teenager looks forward to every single lesson -- and anyone raising a teen knows how monumental that is. Jonathan's deep expertise and authentic mentorship have shaped not only my child's vocal abilities, but also his confidence and trajectory. It is unbelievable how much my teen has grown in his range and as a vocalist since working with Jonathan. Jonathan is an exceptional vocal teacher, a remarkable artist, and someone who truly brings out the best in his students. We are profoundly grateful he is part of our village.

Jonathan is skilled at understanding what I need as an individual to take my voice to the next level. He has a great ear and I always appreciate his feedback. Additionally he's a super nice guy! I love our conversations before and after lessons just as much as I enjoy the work we do at the piano. I look forward to the lessons as a joyful break from other responsibilities. I highly recommend Jonathan as a vocal coach.

I came to Danny with no piano skills, and after having had a pretty unsatisfying experience with…read moreanother piano teacher in San Diego. I told Danny that I wanted to play jazz, which is a pretty complex genre and typically takes some knowledge of music theory and whatever instrument you're learning jazz on. But Danny didn't flinch and got me rolling super quickly. After only 9 months on the piano I've got 4 or 5 jazz tunes under my belt, a clear path forward, and a lot more confidence than I came with. In addition to being an excellent teacher, Danny is kind, patient, and humble -- qualities that are hard to find in musicians who play like he does. He's also got a ridiculous ear and can transcribe a tune or solo for you in minutes. I would recommend Danny for anyone looking to learn the piano, in any genre, and at any stage of development.
