Whether it's warm-ups or singing through songs themselves, she is always happy to explain the concepts behind them and why they will help improve your singing. She knows to meet you where you're currently at in your singing journey and also push you a bit to improve. Amy is super responsive to emails and follows-up quickly. She's clear on her policies and always makes sure that you're able to reschedule your lessons ahead of time if you're going to miss out. I'll definitely come back here in the future for lessons!

I took voice lessons with Sarah via the Amy Dancz studio starting just before the COVID-19 pandemic hit. My lessons were shifted to Zoom, and they worked out surprisingly well! I also loved that we had quarterly Zoom recitals where I could perform my pieces and watch how other students were also progressing with their respective teachers. The physical location is easy to get to (right off the Red Line downtown) whenever in-person lessons resume.

There is a saying among musicians that those who can, do and those who can't, teach. Aljoša is a…read morerare case of someone who masterfully does both. I've studied with music teachers privately and in university all my life and Aljoša is among the best. He takes the responsibility of transmitting musical technique and interpretation very seriously while also making the process fun and lighthearted. There is no contrivance or unnecessary exercises. His analogies always pay off with helping me refine my playing. They are easily applied and show immediate benefit. Even inside the lesson one analogy or direction will improve my playing right there and I won't need to take it on faith that it'll help. Working on my own then is a process of integrating and making that direction automatic. I never feel like I have to believe it'll work out while struggling to feel or see it for a while. There is no need to labor over anything and it all feels very fun. He easily meets you at your level of interest and commitment. When you want to get as much as you can out of the lessons he will match you there. While I have been playing various instruments my whole life I haven't studied piano too much before him beyond a year of study in college. Despite me being an adult beginner, Aljoša takes me very seriously and is clearly interested in seeing me progress. In my experience usually teachers at his level of mastery over the instrument only teach advanced students who they think are worth helping. I'm confident that no matter your skill Aljoša will happily teach you and match your level of commitment with his own investment in you. I always look forward to lessons and I have progressed so much towards my goals in only a month. Study with Aljoša and be rewarded.

I'm 30 years old and decided to take piano lessons because of an unfinished childhood dream. My…read moremusical knowledge and piano skill is very minimal, basically zero. I attempted to study from some online sources before without much success. So I decided to search for a private tutor. I found Joyce because of the impressive reviews on Yelp. She turns out to be an amazing teacher, even better than I expected! Very patient with me and has a way of pointing out my mistakes without making me feel discouraged. I've been taking classes from her about once a week for half a year now. I can now play a dozen songs without difficulties and sight read music at a reasonable speed. I was worried that I won't be able to keep practicing on a day-to-day basis because of my busy work and life. But the enjoyment and encouragement her lessons provide keep me on track. I never thought this would happen -- but I would look forward to the daily 30mins I set aside to play piano. She is also very accommodating to my ever changing work schedule. For me, she is the perfect piano teacher.

Sometimes music teachers seem to follow a prescribed order of exercises or warmups out of a book, but Ruth gives careful thought to the exercises that will benefit each singer, whether they need to work on relaxing the jaw, connecting head and chest voice, or creating long, fluid lines (if you're a new to voice, she'll break it down in a way that's not too technical or intimidating). She gives input on song selection, but also lets students work on the songs that interest them. When I ran into issues, she wouldn't hold back but gives critiques in a constructive way. When my voice was working well, she gave very specific (rather than generic or vague) feedback so I could duplicate it and know exactly *why* it's working. We talked about the mechanics of how you sing, as well as the nuances of phrasing, style, and expression. The online system she uses for scheduling lessons and keeping track of payment ensures that you don't waste lesson time sorting out those details. Her enthusiasm and professionalism are top-notch and she genuinely cares about her students' musical and personal development. Overall, I would highly recommend her to beginning or advanced singers!

I have found the perfect piano teacher!! My son started taking lessons when he was about 5 with a…read moretraditional, classical teacher. He progressed very fast but by the end of the year it was a chore for him to play. We eventually stopped taking lessons and I was at a loss. I wanted him to take classes and explore and grow his love for music, but I didn't want to sacrifice form and technique for fun. So what's a parent to do? I wanted it all or nothing. So, we went a couple years with nothing. And then I stumbled across an ad for Jingjing. She asked what we were looking to do in the lessons and told us she could mold the class into what we wanted it to be. My main objective was for him to learn and be challenged, expand his love for the piano, and have fun. I don't have an agenda - there isn't a concert that he needs to know a song for. I just want the lesson to flow and she's happy to accommodate that. However, if I did have an agenda and timeline I wanted to meet, I feel she would accommodate that as well. My son is now 9, is beyond inquisitive, and quite a bit fidgety. None of this seems to faze her. He asks non-stop questions about the strings and mechanics of the piano. She actually opened up the top of the piano to show him the strings and explained what happens between hitting the key and hearing the sound. For my son, this was HUGE! She follows his lead, answers his questions and then, without him even realizing, redirects him back to the lesson. Miraculous! He really enjoys classical music but Jingjing is open to playing whatever style they prefer. On his second class he asked her if she could teach him Moonlight Sonata and she smiled and agreed. There was no doubt or hesitation - just belief that he could. She watches his technique, points out nuances in the music, challenges him, applauds him, encourages him to write his own songs and has him practicing!! I can't possibly explain what a great teacher she is and how perfect she is for my son. Originally submitted a while back by my wife, Carol S., here on Yelp!
