Dr. Michele Cohen is an excellent instructor, so if you desire to improve your piano skills, I…read morecertainly recommend signing up for lessons. I had taken lessons as a kid for no more than 3 years, then never touched a piano again for 30+ years, until I had my own kids and we bought a piano for them. then I had to start learning how to play again on my own. Many years later, I decided I needed help and signed up with Dr Cohen. She quickly spotted my bad habits/techniques and we worked on correcting them. She also gave me some new and challenging pieces to work on. I have enjoy the new music as well and Dr Cohen's abilities and teaching/coaching style. As final proof the lessons are working, my girlfriend/partner says after just a few lessons that she already notices an improvement in my playing. Can't argue with that endorsement. :)

In fact, within three piano lessons, my son was already able to read piano music and he's very engaging and teaches on the level that the student is familiar and comfortable with. George is also very accommodating with his schedule and his availability. My son Cruz has been very happy with George's lessons. We highly recommend George.

This owner did not protect my kid after the instructor initiated a discussion about sex which…read morebreaks their code of conduct and employment contracts they use to earn your business. An adult male guitar instructor at the Gilbert location read an article called "Are Guitarists Good in Bed?" to my 13 year old daughter who was taking private guitar lessons for the past 4 months. The instructor admitted to reading the article and was temporarily suspended but did keep his job, and has been offered professional development as a consequence. The manager of the Gilbert location and the owner (who also owns the site in Scottsdale) said they believed the instructor who said he was sorry and that he read this article as a joke, but had no bad intent. Management's solutions were to implement professional development for all staff (great for staff and future kids) and keep this instructor as a vital member to their business (great for his career). I am told he teaches 20+ kids up to 4 days a week and "deserves a second chance". We were told we could pick a new instructor, pick a different day, call to make sure he wasn't staffing whatever she wants to participate in, and if she really wanted to attend something he was staffing that they'd move him if they could, or attend the Scottsdale site. All of these solutions put the burden on the victim when the consequences should be placed on the adult who made the decision. When I offered these as solutions for the instructor to bear it was repeatedly rejected. When I inquired about the steps that were taken during his suspension and how they cleared him to return to work, I was accused of "going on a witch hunt" by the owner instead of being informed on their process and efforts to restore my broken trust and that of my daughter. I believe this instructor should have been fired on the spot for his behavior, and at the very least if he were to remain employed, that he would bear the brunt of the changes needed to care for the intent as perceived by the child who was brave enough to speak up before things got dangerous despite knowing it meant she could lose the opportunity to join the performance group with her piers. Which it has because our final two lessons were refunded.

Seriously I love Pam so much! Have been taking vocal & guitar lessons from her for a few months now…read more& have seen a ton of improvement already. She is so kind & down to Earth. I love that she's a legit working musician with a ton of experience and not just a music teacher. She's helping me overcome the worst stage fright & got me to sing a song at open mic. Her guitar lessons have been really effective! I've tried to learn guitar several times in the past & it has always felt grueling & I've never stuck with it. With Pam her approach just makes more sense & has it broken down in a way that you start actually playing more quickly so it feels more fun. If you're looking for a vocal or guitar coach you really can't go wrong with Pam :)
