Saved By The Magic Flute!…read more My newish Nord Electro 6 took a major tumble and several of the lower keys were mangled, ugh..I thought I needed to plan a keyboard funeral. Needless to say, I was DEVASTATED when I discovered my baby at the beginning of a gig.. The Magic Flute repair rep didn't guarantee a successful fix, BUT TOTALLY DELIVERED IN LESS THAN ONE WEEK!! My keyboard funeral was canceled. THANKS MAGIC FLUTE!

Julia is great working with kids, and our daughter's playing has improved dramatically in that time - she recently placed into advanced music for her freshman year of high school.

I started taking ukulele lessons with Joe a year ago. I love the group format because not only do…read moreyou need to listen to each other to be a great musician, but I am now part of a wonderful community of people whom I would never cross paths with but are so encouraging in each others progress. My ukulele classmates now invite me over for BBQs, jams sessions, share baby photos, organize Kala tours...the list goes on. One of the students, Sonya, is an exceptional singer so she accompanies our songs which really adds to the musicality of the group of beginners. On occasion Joe will bring in guest musicians to play with us. I have quite a few songs under my belt now and have learned some music theory. Joe encouraged me to take the Jam class this year which means each student learns a song a week and leads the class, which is made up of guitars, ukuleles, the occasional bass guitar, violin or mandolin. You learn to follow your fellow musicians and communicate (non verbally) solo opportunities and how to end your piece. Music is the best thing to share, so do yourself a favor and learn an instrument with a truly talented and encouraging teacher, Joe!

My son has been taking lessons with Joe for almost 4 years. Since the very first day my son has…read moreenjoyed his lessons a lot. Every time he comes home he talks about what he learned and he keeps improving. Today he can play almost every song he wants. He looks it up and practices with what Joe has taught him. Now he also goes to a Jam session were he can play along other musicians and he can't wait each week to go there. Joe is a great teacher, he is very patient, knows exactly how to engage kids (my son started when he was 11 years old) . He also let's him work on the type of music he likes and is very flexible about letting him try new and challenging songs. This has been one of the best investments in our sons life. Thank you Joe!

I LOVE Rhoda. I started voice lessons with her over 7 months ago. My thoughtful cousin gifted me…read moretwo lessons for my birthday and I haven't stopped going. I think I've always secretly loved singing but didn't think I was any good. I enjoy karaoke and wanted to learn to be a better singer. Rhoda has helped me find parts of my voice that I didn't know where there (hello, high notes!). She has helped me breathe through songs (I can make it through Hamilton rapping without running out of breath!). She has given me more confidence in my voice and expanded my repertoire to songs I didn't have the technique to sing before. She is funny, talented and has been so encouraging to help me fine tune a tool I really didn't understand. Even as complicated as our voices are, she somehow makes sense of all of it. I look forward to our sessions and can't wait to keep up this progress. Thank you for everything, Rhoda!

I studied piano with D'Arcy for over 25 years. Over time, I began giving solo and chamber music…read moreconcerts. I usually studied classical music, but D'Arcy works in different styles, so I also studied improvisation with her. She's always been flexible about my repertoire and she's really responsive to my needs. After I took D'Arcy's Musical Composition workshop, I was able to notate my own music and developed a deeper understanding and appreciation of piano literature. Because D'Arcy is a composer, she provides a very unique perspective in her teaching. Since studying with D'Arcy, I've gone on to play jazz, pop, blues and latin music. The strong musical background that D'Arcy provided me has helped me to go on to play professionally with various groups. I highly recommend taking Piano Lessons with D'Arcy! 5 stars!

D'Arcy's infectious enthusiasm for music and piano literature inspired my daughter, Ananda. D'Arcy…read morealways made sure that Ananda loved the music they played, giving her complete freedom to choose her repertoire. She played through many pieces for Ananda each time she was about to start a new piece, offering them to her like an international buffet. Ananda received a thorough training in theory, piano technique, music history, analysis, and piano literature in her lessons. During her high school years, Ananda took two piano lessons a week. High school students often stop taking piano lessons due to their increased workload, but she was able to meet Ananda's unique learning style and keep her inspired. Ananda studied with D'Arcy for six years, and continues to play on her own at college. As a parent and professional educational coach, I would highly recommend D'Arcy's piano lessons.

Her guidance was invaluable to my development and ensured my well-roundedness as a classical musician. Janice deeply understands and can effectively give insight on any era, technique, theoretical concept, or history to do with classical piano. I highly recommend her as a teacher if you are interested in an extremely strong preparatory classical piano program or want to improve at your classical piano abilities, regardless of where you are in your journey.
