Doesn't tell parent, but relies on child to relay the info. - I inquire about a substitute teacher, none is available. - I hire a substitute teacher on my own. We decide to go with this teacher. We receive a refund minus 40% of our tuition. I paid $600 for two lessons, neither of which happened at our appointed place or time. In the first 2 months of lessons, we missed one week, and the instructor missed four. I asked for a refund, which took a month and several emails & texts to receive .

My seven-year-old daughter has been learning piano with Gene for a year now. I did a great deal of…read moreresearch on group lessons vs. one-on-one lessons and then searched far and wide (for over a year, as I was preparing for the right time to introduce a new activity to my daughter) only to find him a few blocks from my house! I only have positive things to say about him. My daughter was first exposed to the piano through the music class at Chinese school. My daughter would linger by the piano after class, and her teacher, who played the piano during the lesson, mentioned that my daughter might enjoy piano lessons. Because my daughter already exhibited signs of interest, I felt that one-on-one was the way to go. I wanted a teacher who was 1) a little outside of the box, 2) willing to make the experience fun for my child - not too strict and 3) experienced enough to have seen a wide range of students to know what to do for my child if/when she experiences difficulty. Neither I nor my husband play the piano, so if our daughter had problems we wouldn't know if it was the material or the teacher/teaching method/style. With Gene, who has tremendous experience teaching in public schools, I knew that I wouldn't have to worry so much about pedagogy. More recently, when Gene updated his website, I learned that Gene is a graduate of Berklee College of Music which I didn't know when I hired him. I feel very privileged to have him as my daughter's piano teacher. During the first few months, my daughter would come out of the lessons completely exhilarated and bursting with glee. When things started to get harder, Gene was able to help us get through it successfully. Now, my daughter goes to our electronic keyboard on her own. I have to pull her away from the keyboard to get her to school on time and to get her to bed at a decent hour! I'm extremely happy with how my daughter has taken to piano, and I'm very fortunate to have Gene teaching her. Gene is very patient and works with students from where they are. My daughter may arrive to her lesson extremely excited about a new song she learned on her own. Gene will listen and give pointers, and then will redirect her back to the day's lesson. He's good at managing the pace of the lesson. My daughter always enjoys going and the time zips by.

This review is a little overdue... We purchased our Estonia at the beginning of 2023. I had been to…read morea few shops but found most of the salespeople either not knowledgeable or pushy (or both). Roger was very hands-on but not in any way obtrusive. He encouraged me to try every piano, as I was eager to do, and I surprised myself when I fell for the gently used Estonia (a brand with which I had very little experience). He explained the nuances of each instrument and answered all of my questions before I made my decision. An easy sell! Delivery was great (I forget who they used but it was flawless) and Roger spent time at our house tuning it - perfectly. Alas, we ended up deciding to move back to the west coast, but first to a small rental that would not accommodate a grand piano, and we were faced with the prospect of having to sell or store the piano for an undetermined amount of time. Roger's partner, Carol, convinced us not to sell (which we really didn't want to do, anyway) and helped us move the piano into storage. Thankfully, we found our forever home, and ten months since leaving the northeast we have our Estonia back! Roger and Carol, thank you for helping us find the right piano and for assisting with the storage and move. And for your patience with me! An easy recommendation.

Not only does Mr. Grimes have a name so literary it's worthy of a character in a novel, he is a…read morephenomenally skilled tuner and, really, piano technician (for those not in the know, these guys have waaay more on their resumes). I heard of him through a friend who raved about him back in 2002 or something, and I have used his services exclusively ever since. So what makes a piano tuner great? Well, they have to understand what a pianist wants-- they have to *get* what a pianist tells them, and know how to fix it-- so if I say, "ya know, this F sharp has developed a rattle and it only happens when I do this," or "the action on the bass isn't as quick as I'd like it," or "can you make the treble have more of a bell-like tone?" my tuner needs to be able to make this happen. Mr. Grimes CAN and does, consistently. Ideally, I want my tuner to have a good sense of pitch, and be a musician at heart. Happily, Mr. Grimes fits this bill, too. The only thing more enjoyable than hearing him run through some jazz riffs at my piano after he's tuned it is getting to sit down and play my favorite Chopin pieces myself as soon as he's done.
