I started guitar lessons as a beginner two years ago with Sean. I take a 30 minute lesson each…read moreweek from Sean. I will cut to the chase: I will grow old with Sean as my 'gee-tar' guru. I am very pleased with my progress during these last two years. I have had years of piano lessons and voice lessons from a number of excellent teachers. I rank Sean among the best of them despite being the youngest. I think his relative youth is actually a wonderful asset. His enthusiasm for guitar music and performance certainly shows. He always understands and relates the difficulties I face to his own experiences and quickly suggests proven ways to address those issues. I believe it is because he is not that far removed from his own learning experiences. It is always comforting to know that my issues are not unique, and just as importantly, I now have proven methods to overcome those difficulties. I also want to mention that Sean is extremely attentive during lessons and very quick to catch my errors or issues, and suggest corrective remedies. As a consequence, I have been able to make steady progress during the last two years. As a person, I found Sean to be level headed, well rounded and mature beyond his years. I always enjoy conversations with him about diverse subjects. It is an important consideration because some light diversion can restore balance when the learning gets too intense. His teaching style is mellow, sometimes funny, even though he is direct and exacting. So I always look forward to the learning experience instead of fearing it. After two years, I can now perform a number of my favorite songs to my own satisfaction. I am in the process of putting together my first performance portfolio, and will perform at an Open Mic with Sean in a week. In summary, if you are serious about learning or improving your guitar skills, you will do very well by engaging Sean as your teacher.

We feel so fortunate to have found Teacher Mimi for our kids' piano lessons. She is not only an…read moreexcellent teacher but also a true performer who brings music to life. What sets her apart is her ability to combine solid theory with practical skills. Thanks to her teaching, both of my children have learned to remember and play songs by understanding chords rather than just memorizing notes. Mimi emphasizes the basics with such care--especially hand technique--that it gives her students the foundation to play advanced and elegant pieces with confidence. I wasn't sure if my kids would enjoy piano at first, but with Mimi, they have grown to love it and even appreciate classical music. They get inspired by Chopin and Beethoven, often choosing challenging pieces, and Mimi patiently guides them through all the techniques and theories behind the music. She helps them truly enjoy mastering each piece, turning it into their "dream song." Another highlight is her master classes held multiple times throughout the year, where students share their pieces and give constructive feedback to one another. She also prepares her students thoroughly for evaluations, and every year she hosts a grand recital at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music--her alma mater--which makes the experience even more special. Teacher Mimi is the kind of piano teacher every parent hopes for. She's inspiring, highly skilled, and deeply dedicated to her students' growth. You will never regret choosing her, and we are more than thankful to have her guiding our children on their musical journey.

If you are serious about learning the piano or improving your musical abilities, you should reach out to see if Mimi can help you.
