Aki is an outstanding and highly professional piano teacher. My son learned to play the piano from scratch at Music Lab, and when he began composing his own music, Aki supported and guided him beautifully. I believe that for children beginning their musical journey, this is an ideal environment - surrounded by passionate teachers, professional musicians at the front desk and other students playing different instruments, it truly sparks curiosity and a genuine love for music.

5 Star service from Stevie!…read more My daughter came home from school Monday showing me that a piece of her cork came off. Unfortunately for us, she also had an upcoming band concert Wednesday evening. All of the other local music shops told me it would take 4 days to a week or more to repair. I was happy and relieved when Stevie said he may be able to get it done in time, I just needed to bring it in and get evaluated. Thankfully, he was able to complete the repair in time for the concert and we picked up some cork grease as well. Would definitely bring her clarinet back anytime we need a repair or other service done.

My very inpatient son after a week in a half asked me to call and get an update. I did but they didn't have an update. A little over 2 weeks I called a they say instrument will be in on Friday. I call they say not ready they will me it went on like that for what felt like for ever.

My son has been working with Lennie in Algebra 2/Trig and Spanish 2, and the progress has been…read moreamazing. At the start of the year he was really behind in both subjects, and now he is not only caught up but actually doing well and feeling confident. Lennie's patience has made all the difference. My son can be challenging at times with his ADHD, but Lennie knows how to keep him engaged and on track without ever making him feel pressured. He has also helped him with executive functioning skills like organizing assignments and staying on top of due dates, while still letting him explore the parts of the subjects that interest him most. That mix of structure and encouragement has helped my son build real momentum. I am so thankful for everything Lennie has done and would recommend him to anyone looking for a tutor who is both supportive and effective.

She doesn't have any experience playing any instrument, but when my husband contacted Lennie he happily agreed to meet with us even during rainy days. Lennie also got the generous sponsorship of Mrs. Casanave who was looking forward to sponsoring a girl trumpet player! The positive energy and passion of Lennie got my youngest daughter interested in playing trumpet too! Now both of my daughters are looking forward to practice in their weekly lessons, eventually be part of Lennie's band camp, and the 4th of July parade! I am so grateful and blessed to have found Lennie!!!

Now, I…read morehad played once at high school (classic Spanish guitar) but that's so long ago it ain't true anymore. So, I started off with some YouTube videos to self teach. And then I met Eric. And then I really learned to learn guitar. We've done our lessons exclusively via zoom calls and my playing has since improved dramatically! Eric understands how to cater to my crazy busy schedule and we could always fit in exercising and classes, technique and music theory, acoustic and electric guitar. I'm so excited about the playing still - our weekly lessons have become a cornerstone of my life! Highly recommend Eric's way of teaching to anybody, be it beginner, intermediate or already advanced: he'll push you alright! Thank you, Eric!

I've been looking for a place to get my fingerboard taped, and was so relieved when I called and they said that they could help me out! Not only did she help me with this, she also helped me tune my violin and, noticing the bridge was crooked, put it back in place. When I offered to pay, she said it was for free. I was really blown away by this, and insisted on at least buying something. I came home with a ready-to-play violin and a beautiful new rosin! Thank you, Forte Strings, for such a great experience. Really looking forward to my next visit!

Before meeting my daughter he reached out to me to find out what kind of music and style she's into so he could really connect with her on her level and after each lesson he gives be a progress report. My daughter is very shy, sensitive and insecure. Drums give her an outlet and a break from her academics. Luis' kindness and patience made her feel comfortable immediately and they have been jamming together ever since. It's not all noise and banging either. Luis took extra time to teach my daughter the fundamentals, how to tune her set and share with her a few other trade tricks. Thank you Luis for teaching my daughter the right way to JAM! See you next Thursday!

I had a very disappointing experience with this instructor and would not recommend her,…read moreparticularly to adult beginners. From our very first session, she made an unsolicited comment about my appearance, remarking that I looked younger than my age -- which felt inappropriate and unprofessional coming from a teacher. Despite clearly communicating that I was a beginner, she assigned me advanced pieces -- including Bach's Prelude -- and told me I was "too old" to be playing beginner songs. This was not only discouraging but completely disregarded where I actually was in my learning journey. I also reached out to let her know I was going through a period of grief and needed a more supportive, stress-free approach to learning. To top it off, she sent -- and then quickly unsent -- a message implying our lessons wouldn't continue, because her teaching style was "too fast" for me and suggested I find another teacher. Beware: the contract includes a no-refund policy, so getting your money back is not an option once you've paid. A good instructor meets students where they are, adapts to their needs, and treats them with respect regardless of age or pace. Unfortunately, this experience fell far short of those basic standards. ----- Thank you for your response, Vivian. I want to clarify that you were my 2nd instructor, not my 3rd. I also want to be transparent with readers: I had openly communicated that I was going through a period of grief and asked for a gentler approach to learning. I believe that is a reasonable request, not an "over the top" or "childish" one. As a teacher, meeting students with empathy -- especially during difficult times -- is a fundamental part of the role. Assigning advanced pieces to a self-identified beginner, collecting $450 upfront, and then canceling lessons without offering a refund are practices that potential students deserve to know about. I stand by my review. Every word reflects my honest experience. I am genuinely grateful our lessons ended when they did -- it protected both my peace and my hard-earned money. I wish you well, and I hope future students are treated with the respect and compassion they deserve.
