Johanna is an extremely talented singer and a marvelous teacher. I have known Johanna for many…read moreyears as a dear friend, and I recently had the pleasure of taking group voice lessons with her over the span of several months. Johanna uses an integrated teaching style that really invites you to sing with your whole body. I learned how to maximize each breath and focus on certain sounds to help with diction and range. Besides being a well educated, competent, gifted teacher, Johanna is a delightful human being. I highly recommend asking for lessons now, before she's totally booked!

20 years ago, I had voice lessons with Brent for over a year mostly focusing on pop songbook songs…read more Recently, we had a number of sessions because I was singing songs from the 60's and 70's and I was having trouble producing the best voice I can thought I was capable of. I've had voice lessons before Brent, but the teachers were either classical or Broadway or one particular style. One said that my voice was too good for him to help me - he only taught beginners. Brent can teach anyone in any style with any level of vocal expertise. His teaching method, then and now, focuses on getting your best vocal sounds. This includes learning how to sing words that have two vowels sounds in the same syllable, understanding how to breath through phrases, producing resonance in your head and not singing from your throat, using head voice, full voice and a mixture of the two and he works on volume control and use of microphones. I recommend Brent for anyone at any level trying to sing better.

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'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!

The physical location is easy to get to (right off the Red Line downtown) whenever in-person lessons resume.

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.

What a disappointment. I went to have my daughter's clarinet corks replaced and when I returned 2…read moredays later, not only were the corks replaced, but pads were replaced as well - the pads, which I didn't order, cost double what the corks cost - so a whopping $113 later, I was more than frustrated. The gentleman, Paul, who I placed the order with, and who was the person I picked it up from, said that I had ordered the pads as well, which I didn't. I wouldn't even know to ask about the pads. When I told him that I didn't order the pads, his response was "well, it will play now", to which I responded with "it played before". There were no apologies, no trying to come to a resolution, nothing. I just had to pay the money. This experience left me feeling ripped off and left me feeling as though their business practice is questionable, if not unethical. A total disappointment.
