We have taken guitar and piano lessons here for the last two years and could not be happier. The teachers are engaged and interested in teaching kids things that enhance their skills and keep them interested. The range of music you hear them teaching demonstrates their commitment to the student - not their own interests. I wish my parents sent me to this kind of place growing up instead of learning to read music for "Mary Had a Little Lamb". Bad enough for piano, imagine it for a kid that wanted to learn rock guitar. The space was recently spruced up and has a nice vibe. If you are interested in lessons for guitar, bass, uke, drums, piano and a few other instruments this place is definitely worth checking out.

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!

No doubt, the repairs aren't to be trusted without you paying many "In God We Trust" bills.

In just a short couple of months, I can't believe how much I have improved. My teacher helps me set goals and has me try innovative ways to approach the keys while trying to sing at the same time. I'm not a great multitasker. :) I had always been classically trained and only really knew how to read basic sheet music and I understood music theory on paper, but hadn't really applied it on piano. Now I'm reading lead sheets and creating left hand bass lines! I always look forward to my lessons, and I can't stress enough how important this is for a beginner, intermediate or advanced student to come and improve their craft. I see people of all ages coming in and out of here, so I can assure you, that it is never too late to start an instrument, to learn something new, or improve what you are already doing! LB is the perfect match for me, and from all the teachers I've met there, I can guarantee you an amazing experience.

I'm not gonna lie, it was a little painful at first, lol! But after just a short time Chris taught him some basic chords and songs and it actually started to sound pretty good when he practiced at home (thank you chris!!!). So then I started to think I might take some piano lessons. I played when I was young but it had been a long time. Chris was awesome and really helped me get back into the swing of it. Not to mention he is just a really cool guy and fun to spend time with. I like the studio so much I recently started taking singing lessons just for fun and I love it! I would definitely recommend Sarrin Music to anyone who wants to learn an instrument.
