Larry Pisano is the primary technician for Accent Piano Service. He's been out to tune my piano and…read morehe was great. Larry is very professional and an extremely friendly guy. I would recommend him for piano tunings, but I would caution you against having him perform any major work to your instrument. I have a very old piano and I'm slowly getting it back to like-new standards. When Larry first came out to do a tuning he recommended some other things I should have done. I was very trusting of his opinion, but I'm afraid my trust was misplaced. He recommended I have my piano voiced, meaning re-shape all of the felts so that a more rounded hammer hits the strings. Unfortunately, the felts were already very worn down and I learned from a second technician that a piano as old as mine would benefit very little from voicing--that it would be a very short fix. And it was. The felts went back to their previous condition in no time and it was a waste of $400. I should have just put that money toward replacing the felts altogether. Larry belongs to the guild of piano technicians and is a reliable technician for tuning, but he's also business-minded. He will likely suggest your instrument needs a lot more work, but that's the practice of every technician. So I would suggest always getting a second opinion and estimates from other technicians in order to avoid unnecessary work on your instrument. In general, you should get your piano tuned once a year if you are an average player, maybe two or three times per year if you're a heavy player or if you have new strings. If your instrument goes too long without a tuning, it may be too far gone to bring it back. It's like getting your car oil changed--it's a maintenance that may help ward off future serious problems. There are plenty of technicians in town. Ask any piano teacher or experienced pianist for their recommendations. The bottom line is: I recommend Larry for piano tunings, but not for other services.

Larry last month refurbished a 60 year old piano, adding weights to the keys, adjusting the action - a complicated job. The young student now has a very serviceable piano...when before it was a complete piece of junk...true story. . Larry sometimes a touch more expensive in what he charges. Speaking for myself, I'd rather pay a little more to have the job right... As a piano teacher - .I appreciate that -when I refer a client for a piano tuning/regulation/refurbishing - that the job be done right the first time .I very highly recommend Larry ..there are not many out there with his knowledge, experience and concern.

They've been coming to Roo's for a few years now and have had a great experience with their teachers. They started doing recitals this year and Roo's has a great set up to help them feel like performers, but in a comfortable, supportive environment that's not overwhelming. Both kiddos had such a confidence boost after the first one and now practice on their own without being asked. And the owners, Josh and Liz, are great and make us feel like part of a music community. Our drummer is dropping in as I write this to try out the new rock band class and I'll be signing up our 5yr old to start lessons soon.

Amazing teacher! Amazing results!…read more A year ago this month, I was looking for voice lessons when I happened to meet Stephen Fischman at my fellowship. Other congregants had raved about his voice and attended his recitals, so I was very excited to start. I hadn't sung regularly in 30 years. During my first few lessons I remember feeling that my voice was weak, but Stephen would always tell me something understanding or motivational. He always made me feel comfortable with my voice. Stephen is great at describing the classical Bel Canto techniques in a way that makes sense, and consequently, I feel secure that I am using my voice correctly and not injuring myself. If you're looking for an amazing technique, I highly recommend you take lessons with Stephen.
