Mr. H. knows how to keep my son motivated and builds his confidence through consistent guidance and positive reinforcement; he cares about his growth and progress. My son really enjoys learning from him and considers him an excellent teacher. His private lesson rates are very affordable. Currently, Mr. H. only offers house visit which is incredibly convenient for busy families, however you will need to have a piano or keyboard at home. We feel very fortunate to have found a talented instructor. I would highly recommend Mr. H. to anyone looking for a piano teacher who is not only skilled but also patient and supportive.

My son (8yo) has been learning drums with Jeremy since March, and we couldn't be happier. He wasn't…read morea complete beginner as I had tried many teachers at the local music academies for over 6 months and then had a different drum teacher for another 6 months. And I can say with complete confidence that Jeremy is the BEST teacher we found. I found that some drum teachers are better drummers than they are teachers. My son's former teacher never taught him to read music, for example, but would have him mimic the grooves and fills a little bit at a time. Jeremy, on the other hand, is so encouraging and upbeat, but still keeps my son to a high standard. My son is able to practice drum techniques, rhythms, and finally a song for each lesson. He uses a couple of a drum practice books each week, while also writing his own worksheets to help students thrive. Since March, I have seen my son's confidence grow in drums but also in himself. I see a smile creep onto his face when he's playing a complicated groove that he just got a handle on. Jeremy knows how to meet my son at the level he's at, encourage, and push at just the right pace that my son needs, and THAT's why I think he can't help but smile. It's like he's saying, "Wow, I can do it," to himself-- a lesson I hope transfers into all areas of his life. I highly recommend Jeremy Stacey Drum & Studio!

Encore My kid has…read morebeen going to Encore for private violin lessons for 2 years. My kid has learned so much about music. Encore offers music lessons for piano, violin, viola, cello, flute, saxophone, clarinet, guitar, bass guitar, drums, ukulele, and vocals. They also offer dance and acting classes. I really love the ease of their scheduling. I also like the incentives that they offer to music students such as prizes that they earn through points. My kid even earned a personalized trophy after one year of lessons. Encore also offers two recitals per year. Parents can sign up their child to perform. It's such a joy seeing all the students share their musical talents. The Encore staff is very knowledgeable and helpful.

Mr. Greg is such a people person, especially encouraging to future young musicians. He's teaching method is methodical to achieve preciseness. For instance, the instruments were tuned prior to class and beat maker is pretty much on throughout the class. Toward end of the class, the parent can listen to what was learned from the lesson. I can definitely tell the difference, I am able to make (not so irritated) notes and play some patterns after 1 hour. Highly recommend this friendly environment in this nice community.

Suji is a great cello teacher! She has patience and knows how and what I can do to improve my cello…read moreskills every week. I have been taking lesson with her for a year. My one-on-one lesson is once a week for 45 minutes. I must say, I'm a much better cello player ever since. I've never played a musical instrument before. I bought this wonderful cello off craigslist and I've been playing it since at the early age of 32. I had another cello teacher for half a year before her. Of course, Suji is much better then my previous teacher, that is why I've been with her for a year now and I'm planning on staying with her for many years to come. For me, it isn't a cheap hobby, but it's an important one to have, just like going to work out regularly. Work out strengthen my body, reading nourishes my mind, and music feeds my soul.

How do I even begin?…read more This past year, having lessons with Suji has required me to face a brand new challenge, reflect on my habits, relearn music in a technical style, and push myself to embrace a completely uncharted territory. I am an adult beginner learning cello for the first time ever, and Suji has undoubtedly helped me grow as a music student and a musician. I'd never had music lessons before. I picked the cello because of its rich voice, range of emotion, and the versatility as a solo or orchestral instrument. I had a different teacher at the beginning, and I felt incompatible with her teaching style. (It's like going on a date - you can't quite place your finger on what it is, but it just doesn't feel right.) After some research online and on Yelp, I stumbled upon Suji's page. After exchanging emails, I booked a first lesson and was immediately hooked. The lesson was like a breath of fresh air. Within minutes of sitting and playing a simple scale, Suji was able to diagnose all my ailments in posture, sitting, bow hold, first position, finger placement, EVERYTHING. She was very keen on correcting things that needed improvement, and at the end of the lesson (mind you, this was just the FIRST lesson), I was creating sound with the cello that actually sounded musical, with clearer tones and not the plaguing ugly squeaky sounds that nearly discouraged me from continuing with my lessons (thinking maybe I should try ukulele lessons instead..) I am at weekly lessons at her studio since July 2014. Since beginning, I have moved beyond simple Suzuki practice etudes to pieces that I recognize and like to play. Practicing between lessons is, of course, mandatory, though I've noticed that even on days I go into a lesson without having practiced at all (bad student..), I am still able to make tremendous progress with Suji's tips and corrections during the one hour of lesson. Suji is incredibly patient and scrupulous, stern when she needs to be. Most importantly, her teaching style is very interactive, with encouragement to share feelings and comments on the pieces I'm working on, my goals, and the learning process as a whole, so it is a mutual partnership rather than a traditional "do as I say" approach. I am exceptionally happy with Suji as my teacher, and reflecting on how much I grew in the last 8 months, I am all the more excited for what lies ahead. If you're looking for a cello teacher for your child, or just want to learn for yourself as an adult, look no further. You've found her.

A Great cello teacher…read more We feel very lucky to have Ryan as my son's cello teacher. He is not only an acclaimed cellist himself, but also is a very dedicated, caring teacher. He emphasized on the fundamental skills and made sure the students build on solid foundations. My son improved a lot in over one year of time, I really wish my son could have started with him earlier. Besides each student's regular lesson, Ryan also holds the free monthly technique class for all students which work on the various cello techniques, plus he also holds the free bi-monthly studio class (master class) which provides the students an opportunity to play in front of all students. I think this studio class helps students a lot in building their experience and confidence to play in competitions and in the public. Overall I am very happy that my son can have Ryan as his cello teacher, it's not easy to encounter a good cello teacher. I highly recommend Ryan to any one who is looking for a great cello teacher.

I've gone from a guy who owns a drum set to a guy who can hold it down playing in a couple different bands. And my oldest kid started taking bass lessons at 12 and has been playing in bands since then and now fronts his own band. My middle kid took piano and vocal lessons, but has some anxiety about singing or playing in public, so we brought the lessons home and it's been fantastic. Now that this team is offering in-home lessons, we're so stoked. Every teacher we've had has been patient and thoughtful and real spent time working to get us where we wanted to be. We're still taking lessons at MMS, but might move a couple of them home now! Awesome!
