I've only had four one-hour lessons, and I'm sight reading!! I have to credit Kevin, giving great advice ( tips and tricks) and big-time motivation to improve. Clear instruction, very patient... personable ...and kind. Also I realized today, I'm playing on a grand piano, not a baby grand, duh...so if Kevin can teach this doofus to sightread and play music, he can teach anyone. So yup yup yup learning a lot in such a short time and it's been such a pleasure to play on a beautiful instrument. I have piano envy. read more

Kevin is a great piano teacher. My 8-year-old learned the fundamentals very quickly. I saw a major improvement in my 8-year-old's piano skills, after weekly sessions with Kevin for a few months. read more

I used to take piano lessons when I was younger, but never learned how to read music. I was looking to reconnect with playing music when I found Kevin. I highly recommend taking piano lessons with Kevin if you want to learn how to read music and develop rhythm. I was counting and reading notes from the very first lesson! His lessons are very engaging, fun and incredibly fulfilling when we finish working on a piece. You can see my reaction when we perfectly play through a piece together on the video I attached! read more

Highly recommend Kevin if you're looking for a piano teacher!! I took piano lessons when I was younger but never (successfully) learned how to read sheet music, so that was my main goal. Kevin was able to create a lesson plan for me that helped me improve my sight reading on a weekly basis and feel more comfortable with sheet music. Plus he's great to work with, very encouraging, and patient!! He's the best!! read more

Excellent piano teacher. I now feel confident with sight reading and also with playing some simpler jazz pieces. Kevin is patient, kind, and a solid instructor for anyone looking to learn how to play the piano or someone who wants to improve their skillset. 10/10 would recommend. read more

I used to take lessons when I was young, but ended up quitting due to other extracurricular activities that I wanted to put my time into. I didn't miss piano much until I was older, and quarantine made me realize my sight reading was still pretty sharp, as I would self-teach myself songs during this time being at home. My dad noticed that my passion might've been returning, and he suggested to start up piano lessons to help cultivate my old skills. He found Kevin through yelp and I'm SO grateful he did. I've had past piano teachers who put so much pressure/stress on me where it made me resentful and want to quit piano, whereas my experience with Kevin has been the exact opposite. He is extremely easy to work with and talk to, understands you have other things going on in life, and makes learning piano so much fun!! We've worked on so many fundamental skills and I feel like I've been able to improve and really enjoy his lessons. It's been a little over a year now, and it's been so nice to be able to tap back into this hobby/passion of mine, thank you Kevin! read more

As an adult beginner learning piano with a little prior musical knowledge, I'm glad I chose Piano Labs. The instructor, Kevin, is a patient and perceptive piano instructor and a knowledgeable and insightful music theory teacher. I always left a lesson feeling motivated to practice and better equipped to tackle whatever musical/piano concepts I was learning that week. He definitely sets students up for future success by teaching solid fundamentals and fixing any bad habits that may cause problems later down the line. He's also very receptive to any questions/concerns and is very flexible with scheduling so you can go at your own pace. All in all, I would recommend Piano Labs to anybody looking to improve their piano skills. read more

I'm glad that my first Yelp review is for something I enjoy and for someone who is well deserving of 5 stars. I started taking lessons w/Kevin on 6/9/19 w/zero piano and music theory experience. The learning process has been gradual with moments of accomplishment as well as setbacks, but more importantly is the amount of patience and understanding Kevin exhibits throughout. On 1/27/20 we got through Piano Book 1 for adults and moved on to Volume 2. The pace of improvement is on my end resulting from working full-time and herding two toddlers. I take 30 min lessons as I can't dedicate additional time to longer sessions as well as the amount of practice needed. When COVID-19 hit i took a few months off b/c i did not want to risk contracting or spreading COVID. Kevin was again very understanding and we recently started doing Zoom lessons. I highly recommend Kevin as a teacher to anyone looking to learn piano/music theory. He has a strong commitment to teaching, communicates clearly, listens and is multifaceted; all of which he applies to teaching and student growth. read more

I have been taking piano lessons from Kevin for nearly a year, and I have to say I'm quite satisfied. As a teacher, he is amazingly patient and informative, never failing to encourage me. With regards to personal progress, I'm fairly happy with where I am today; under his tutelage, I have been able to fully grasp the concept of scales and simple chord progressions. I highly recommend Kevin to anyone who wishes to take lessons. read more

I have been taking my nephew to get piano lessons from Kevin over the last six months. My nephew has been through a few other teachers, but none of them offer the same friendly and easy to learn service that Kevin offers. I've sat through a few lessons and it's good to see that his teaching methods are engaging, but not overbearing on the student. My nephew used to see piano lesson as a chore, but now he enjoys going to them. Kevin is very friendly and shows patience when it comes to his teaching methods, and it definitely shows in my nephew's improvement over the last six months. A great part of the experience is that Kevin has always been able to work around our busy schedule. He's been flexible and accommodating whenever we have needed to reschedule. Great prices, great teaching, and great results! Definitely worth trying if you're looking for a new piano teacher. read more

Kevin is the best! My son has been taking for 2 years. His technique has improved drastically!!

I started taking piano lessons from Kevin about seven months ago. When I first met him, I had absolutely no knowledge of the piano, except that it consisted of black and white keys. Honestly, I was pretty nervous at first because I didn't know what to expect. Everything about it was so foreign to me. However, Kevin created a great learning environment, and taught me at a pace which I was comfortable at. During these seven months, every difficulties I encountered during my lessons, Kevin would patiently and diligently help me overcome them. He makes sure that you learn, and understands each lesson properly before moving on. It has been seven months, and I know I still have a long way to go, but I am very satisfied my rate of progress. read more
