Li San is fantastic!…read more She is an extremely capable and understanding teacher. She is great at getting my easily distracted 6 year old back on task. I'm always amazed at what she learns in just one lesson. We've only had 3 lessons with Li San so far, and I am excited for more. If you are considering piano lessons for your kid, or even yourself, I highly recommend Li San. You will not regret choosing her at all, I know I don't.

They obviously do this for a living but it's so amazing to see people be able to look at an instrument and understand it so quickly. As someone that is just learning a violing i really appreciated that they took the time to look over my random instriment and recommend a few fixes and explained why they were important. Some things can wait as I am just learning in my free time but others like a separating fingerboard are important for playing in general so it was nice to be guided a bit on their necessity. Ultimately it is my decision what to fix and took them up on the fingerboard and it looks great! Really love it. I was also surprised that they cleaned my case. Because I just got it, I hadn't taken the time to clean the inside yet and was pleasantly surprised to see it had been cleaned. Feels like a nice personal touch 10/10. Will def go back for any more work I get done or if I want to upgrade instruments

Andrew is truly a gem of a guitar teacher! My teenage daughter took lessons with him for about a…read moreyear, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, Andrew was consistently kind, welcoming, and encouraging. His friendly and calm demeanor made it easy for my daughter--who is naturally shy and slow to open up--to feel comfortable and confident. The studio setup is great, too! There's a cozy waiting area connected to the practice room, so I always appreciated being able to hear her progress and how thoughtfully Andrew tailored each lesson. He really took the time to understand her unique musical interests and celebrated her individuality as a growing artist. The trust and connection they built made me so proud and grateful. Andrew gave excellent feedback, adapted lessons to her needs, and always made her feel seen, heard, and supported. She genuinely looked forward to her weekly lessons, and we only decided to pause because we're moving--otherwise, we would've happily continued indefinitely. Thank you, Andrew, for your dedication and the positive impact you've had on our family. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a thoughtful, talented, and caring guitar teacher!

We paid for 30 min piano for my 5 year old once a week. If my son didn't love his teacher, I would…read morehave cancelled sooner since they are worse than your average doctor's office. Back to back lessons with other students where we never get the full 30 minutes. She also just taught out of a lesson book from Amazon so if the lesson of the week only took 10 minutes, she would end the class early. Since my son is a beginner I can teach him from this book. She should have just taught as many pages as she could fit in especially since my son understood the concepts. Not worth $140 a month at all.

I then made the switch to a rock band mentor ship. Joe provides such a great learning environment that I was comfortable enough to try singing as-well. Good thing I did, because I love it! He cured my stage fright and taught me how to talk to the crowd. The rock and roll conservatory is a great school and is very affordable. I recommend it to everyone I know for all of their musical endeavors. At your own pace. Joe makes it very easy to learn.

Alex is AWESOME. I am not impressed by most people and I don't find most people very interesting but Alex is both impressive and interesting. I love his comprehensive Dropbox full of sheet music for his students which he regularly adds new material to. Alex has a great Google Doc "lesson journal" which works very well for him to summarize lessons and give homework and for me to take notes, jot down questions, etc. Alex has real answers to my questions and really personalizes the lessons to what I want to learn. I imagine that I'm not a typical guitar student and some may even consider me "difficult" (because I'm very curious and I want to study and understand everything) but Alex takes it all in stride and builds off of it. Alex is delightful! I can't wait until my son is older so he can go take piano lessons.
