We have had an amazing experience with Leidys's company. I contacted her looking for a female teacher to come to our home in Brickell and teach my two girls. They had 2 years of piano at another studio, but we decided to move on & save time by having someone come to us. We started with 30 minutes each, but the first class was so incredibly interactive, exciting and with such an amazing teacher, my daughters did not want her to leave. We decided to extend them to each have one hour once a week and that almost seems like its still not enough. My girls have an excitement towards piano I have never seen in them. They play all the time, learning almost from scratch in a really effective manner, with this brain based method. It reminds me of the Montessori method they are already learning, with so many materials, colors, and steps to help them remember the notes. Our teacher Hannah is incredibly talented, kind and patient. We look forward to seeing her each week & hope to continue with her for as long as we can! read more

My daughter has been taking classes for a month now with no background in piano. Her teacher, Hannah, has been so relatable and patient. You can really see that she is passionate about music. Leidys is very kind and has made this new activity so easy and enjoyable for us. Their brain based method is easy to follow and is very effective. My daughter now looks forward to her classes and is constantly practicing at home in between. Highly recommend! read more

Excellent music classes! My son is taking the Garage Band lessons and he has been able to play all instruments (drums, piano, base and guitar) at a beginner level and understand how instruments talk to each other while learning to play current music. He is very excited and motivated! And I could not be happier :) Highly recommend these music lessons!!! read more

My daughter loves Leidys and Mihai's & Brain Based Piano Method. She looks forward to class each week and loves playing at home. As a parent, and former teacher, I love the method. Everything I know about how the brain works/learns and how children learn is incorporated into this method. It works! In such a short period of time, my daughter is playing simple songs, learning music and rhythm, and exploring sounds. Leidys is very patient and has the perfect mannerism for working with children. She is especially great with my energetic 4 yr old! read more

We were with this piano studio for over 2 years and I hope to provide a detailed account to warn future parents. The first problem is the constant rotation of teachers. We started with the female owner but as soon as my daughter progressed beyond the most basic level she revealed that she's not actually a pianist and needed to find a new teacher. Several sessions we were stuck covering the same material until she found a new teacher. We had that teacher for a few sessions and then that teacher left the country. Then we had the owner's niece for a while. Then we had Nevena. Every time they changed my daughter's teacher, it was like starting from square one. We did like our last teacher but she was often late and often would cancel at the last minute. I can't tell you how many makeup sessions we had to schedule. The owner tried to guilt me into paying more because that teacher doesn't have a car but they shouldn't put that pressure on the customers. Also, my daughter was not progressing at all. I'm not sure if the problem was the teacher or the poor curriculum/approach. Anyways, the proof is in the pudding because in two months with a new piano teacher my daughter learned more piano than in the two years she was with this studio. Also, their prices are so much higher than the going rate for piano lessons. Of course it is cheaper to just hire someone directly to teach your kid piano then to hire someone who hires someone. With the higher prices you expect a level of professionalism which I didn't feel like I ever received. Not only because our teacher was frequently late or absent but also because I realized we were being overcharged. My kids have had a variety of activities and when their teachers/coaches Venmo us we pay without any thought because we assume that these people who we trust with our kids are not going to overcharge us. Well, that is in fact what happened with this studio. She would charge us for lessons she knew we didn't take. For example, she would cancel one week in December and one week in spring for vacation but still charge us for it. When I complained she said "well some months have extra weeks so it comes out the same."I accepted that explanation but it wasn't true because when a month had an extra week she would charge me extra. Finally I told the owner, Venmo me, not my husband so I can review and pay the correct amount. But she would do shady things like Venmo me for lessons and try to Venmo my husband for extra money. She also invented extra fees, perhaps when she was short on money, like fees for her "administrative time." One last experience there, I remember on one of the days the piano teacher abruptly cancelled, my daughter and I decided to play around with you tube tutorials. During the next lesson I showed the teacher the song my daughter was interested in, but the teacher insisted that it was inappropriate as it was too high of a level. This didn't seem correct to me but since I've never played the piano I didn't pushback. Well, now I know I was right, in just two months with a new teacher my daughter can open a piano book to literally any song and read the notes as she plays. I have guilt and regret about my daughter's time in this studio because imagine where she would be in her playing if she actually had a good consistent teacher this whole time. Why did I stay? Well the reviews were good so I thought this place would be fine, I later realized these reviews were posted by friends to make business look better. Also I guess when my daughter started she was so little I thought of this as more of an activity as opposed to something she would pursue more seriously. Also I fell into the trap, like now we are settled with this teacher, now we are finally settled with a teacher but it was never true. Same with payments, like now I'm on top of the payments so she can't overcharge us. Also since I myself don't play piano I didn't realize how bad the curriculum/approach is, it's only now that we have a new piano teacher that I can see clearly. Finally, one time I saw flyers the owner had made where she put images from a religion she does not practice and none of the teachers practiced, in an attempt to attract more customers from that religious group. This just really seems wrong to me. My experiences here are not unique. Two other parents told me about poor experiences here as well. You will be well served to work directly with a piano teacher in your area. People also really like Miami Music Works. read more

My son was 3 (almost 4) years old when I signed him up to learn piano with Leidys' and Mihai's Brain-Based Piano Method. Their method came highly recommended to me by two of my dear friends. I had no idea that we would be getting so much more than just piano. He is learning music, not just piano. The Brain-Based approach is wonderful, and I can't imagine a child learning any other way. Or an adult for that matter. I love how they break down theory in ways that even my 5 year old can understand. Their approach is intuitive. Nothing is rote. When they teach a new song, they begin with listening before playing. They really believe in training the ear. I can see the stark difference in how easy it is for my son to play a new song when it is one he has previously listened to (and done their exercises to drive home the melody, rhythm, and harmony) vs a new one he pulls out of the book cold. Most important, this approach keeps piano fun and engaging. We have been playing for 1.5 years now and my son is still always excited for his weekly lesson. My 2.5 year old loves it so much he constantly sings all the songs and has the ear to identify them when played -- just from listening to his big brother practice. Highly, highly recommend! read more
