I appreciate they have multiple lessons going on all at the same time in different rooms so I can bring all my kids in for lessons at their different skill levels.

I have two daughters, 7 and 9 ys/o, who've been taught piano by Suzanne Karpinski, weekly since…read more2015. Before Suzanne, we had been through two different teachers, also great, both left the city. Suzanne is the first to have a clear and strong vision as to where to take the girls with their music, and a brilliant understanding of how to teach them. Initially I had ideas about how/what I wanted them to learn, but quickly realised that Suzanne knew exactly what she was doing. The girls have a wonderfully rich, broad and balanced understanding of music, the piano, Music Theory, Sight Reading and different styles/periods of music. It's really important the foundations she has taught them and the good habits she's installed in them. Now, with my oldest, I am starting to see the magic take flight. But perhaps I've felt that after every year with Suzanne. Each year I see huge accomplishments, not just with my kids but at the recitals she hosts, bi-yearly, I've seen her other students equally improve, it's been a pleasure to witness and to be a part of that wider community she's created. In my point of view Suzanne is a serious music teacher who wants to teach children how to be true musicians, teaching them a real skill, skill for life. This means she expects committed students who practice daily and are willing to learn. Suzanne is the loveliest person I've the pleasure to get to know over these years, she is also a brilliant and committed teacher. I highly recommend her ... so long as you don't take my girls time slot.

I have worked with three of the teachers at this studio. I changed teachers due to scheduling…read moreconflicts with my job, but all three of the teachers have been awesome. My first teacher, Brite, is someone who cares about me and is a positive role model. I have studied under him for roughly a year and a half, and he has not only been very understanding towards me, working to improve my performance anxiety and such, but he has also offered bits of musical knowledge relevant to the questions I ask him which is definitely a bonus. As someone who enjoys playing piano as a side hobby, I have been privileged with being able to pursue whichever piano songs I wanted to play under Brite's instruction. My proudest moment was when I performed a Japanese piece called Ama no Jaku, or Born Coward, in front of a small group of people as a recital piece. My second teacher, Josephine, is also very knowledgeable and passionate in the field of music. Under her tutelage, I've also been able to learn whatever pieces I've desired to learn, such as Double Night Tail Moon, a simple but "easy on the ears" piece, and Flower Dance, a more contemporary piece of music. She is also very positive and supportive towards me, just like how Brite was. Currently, I am learning from Ichko. Ichko is a very experienced piano teacher. She has very good intuition, and she knows how to make any piece sound much better by helping me pay attention to when to make dynamic changes in my playing. She likes to hum along when I play my beginner's Czerny exercises, and she always brings a cheery mood to brighten up the lesson. All three of my piano teachers are incredibly warm and kind people. I would recommend learning from them if you have the spare time to practice piano.

Our kids started taking piano lessons with Elaine 8 years ago so we have seen their growth with her…read moreover many years. Both kids have very different learning styles so we were really able to see how flexibly Elaine was able to adapt and keep each of them engaged and interested.

We highly recommend Elaine for music students of all levels and ages.

I've been incredibly happy with our experience at Music Together! The classes aren't the boring…read moremusic classes that I'd normally dread but crafted with children's development in mind - our teacher once noted how 'clapping in rhythm' or doing a 'call and response' should be considered just as important milestones as the first step or first word. All the teachers are fantastic and I was impressed by how they even made the occasional Zoom-class entertaining and fun for the kids. My kid LOVES the classes and it's such a delight to overhear the humming and singing of songs and really starting to get the rhythm - definitely due to nurture, not nature, on that one! Their website is a little more complicated to navigate than necessary but the customer service team has always been quick and pleasant to help schedule make-up classes. Overall, I plan to send my kid there for as long as possible and given how they structure the program, it will be for many years to come.

I occasionally drop by Vibo Music School since I'm a former student…read more First things first, if you've ever been Vibo any time before 2018, you should know they moved to the location they are currently at and it's absolutely gorgeous. Although the first location on Paris was a second home for me, visiting their Ocean location still managed to give me comfortable, welcoming vibes and that's mainly because the staff and teachers are still as kind and excited about music education as they were back when I was a student! No matter when I drop in, I can trust that there is going to be a credible, talented teacher giving feedback to their student's family. From all the times I've visited, I've never seen a student walk out of their lesson unhappy. Students, most of the time, give their teacher a cheery goodbye and it feels like the school has only improved from when I was also a Vibo Music student. My sibling used to take lessons at Vibo but recently stopped to pursue other hobbies. During their time at Vibo, they improved so, so, so much and even used the skills they acquired to self-learn songs they were interested in. While I would wait for them during their lessons, I would also hear other students practicing during their lessons, and because I was there once a week, I heard other students improve as well. It's just an amazing feeling knowing that Vibo is always encouraging musical growth and exploration. If you have younger children who show interest in learning about music, Vibo Music's teachers truly excel in working with not only young children, but people of all ages, backgrounds, and interests. You can mark my words that when it's my time to have kids, I'll be enrolling them at Vibo Music School so they can form as many amazing memories as I did.

We have been taking lessons with Todd at Hummingbird for eight years -- two kids and occasionally…read moreone adult (me) across four instruments. Todd has gotten the kids hooked on playing music over the years, as he finds songs in their musical taste (and beyond) that have inspired them to grow and not only learn, but look forward to their weekly lessons and enjoy playing for the sake of playing when they have downtime, want to jam with friends, or take the edge off homework stress. Francesca, who runs the show, is extremely responsive and sets up a fun spring recital where the kids get to perform in front of a crowd. Both kids have also done Hummingbird's excellent summer Rock Band Camp multiple times -- that's a blast that ends with the kids playing a mini three to four song live set.
