He explains and demonstrates everything well! He cares if you learn it and even makes sure you learn and comprehend what he is teaching! He goes the extra mile!

I thoroughly enjoy taking lessons with Sara. She is so thoughtful, genuine, and is clearly…read morepassionate about teaching. She loves what she does, loves playing the piano, and music. She is organized, and always ready to start the lessons. I gained so much confidence from her, and found a new love for piano. It brought joy into my life, and made me even more passionate about music. Sara brings new ideas to the table to help you learn the music such as breaking up the chords, taking it measure by measure, or going through the technique, but she helps you feel the music in ways you would have never thought! Taking lessons with Sara is so much more than just learning the notes, you learn so much about yourself, and as a musician. I highly recommend Jto any beginner, intermediate, or advanced student who is interested in taking piano lessons! Thank you so much Sara.

Unfortunately, this review is before we even had the opportunity to do a 1:1 intro. Inquired about…read morelessons for my 2 children. Assistant reached out via text to explain pricing, schedule, class format. Wanted to schedule the intro. But assistant made discouraging remarks about my child's NYSSMA score (25 out of 28 first time), and said they would not be the right fit for us due to scores and inability to play piano more than 3 hours per week due to other extra curriculars. If you are very serious about lessons and this is the only activity, perhaps they are wonderful. But very unfortunate to be discouraging young players without even meeting them. Pricing is $249/month for small group classes that are taught as individuals - kids have headphones on and capped to 5 students and teacher goes between students over the hour.

In my opinion, Fred Klatz is the best drum teacher, period. Through hands on teaching, listening,…read morepatience while sharing his vast knowledge of percussion/ music, Fred provided me with the most solid foundation I could have hoped for. This included: reading, counting and of course playing- all in and on Time. He taught me everything I needed to know about drums. Of course, I'll never stop learning, but he provided the platform for me to do so. I had a lot of fun, even though at times it felt very challenging, almost out of reach. I'm not sure how many times I said, "I can't do that," and he would just say, "Let's go", and we'd play, and sure enough I was doing it, did it. Self-efficacy at its finest. He just loves music, and he passes that along. He transcribes songs/ musical pieces- writes- has his own published workbook. I think the coolest thing is that he plays along with you! Again, to me, he is the epitome of everything a great teacher needs to possess. The results absolutely come, but the focus is on the process/ learning, in a laser like focused manner. Also, doesn't hurt that he is just a genuinely nice guy, who really cares that you learn and develop as a musician.

They also have a very wide range of music lessons such as vocal, cello, piano, guitar to so much more.

Aside from the cultural benefit, she is also beginning to learn what it takes to become a musician and all of the work that needs to go into it if you want to succeed.

I have been taking Guitar lessons with Stephen for the last 4 years. I can state emphatically that…read morehe is one of the most patient instructors but also knowledgable as well. His understanding of music theory combined with a patient and steady pedagogical approach allows the student to learn at their own pace but not feel as if they are not progressing and growing. Perhaps my strongest endorsement has been my recent enrollment of my son for Bass lessons. His teaching style is such that both a beginner and someone who has been playing for some period would both benefit greatly from his instruction.

I've been a student of Stephen's since 2013. I started with him because my wife bought me lessons…read morethrough a Groupon offer, so I figured, "Why not?" I'd always wanted to learn to play, and I didn't want my wife to feel like I didn't appreciate her gift, so I gave it a shot. I could not be happier that I did. Stephen is an excellent teacher. I wanted to learn theory and how to read music, and through Stephen's patience, knowledge (which is truly impressive), and easygoing approach, I've learned so much. I started as a complete novice, and now I'm a guitarist. What more could I ask for? And even though I'm at a point where I could feasibly stop taking lessons and enjoy the skills I've acquired, I'm still seeing Stephen. His approach and knowledge of the instrument, as well as his knowledge of music in general, make every lesson a great distraction from the stress of work and everyday life. As I re-read my review, feel like some might think I'm overselling, here. But I'm not. Stephen is the real deal. If you want to become a guitarist, go to Stephen.

I ordered rosin from the 26th of February, and the website said there would be a 3 week delivery…read morewait. After three weeks, the rosin still didn't arrive. April 6th came, and it FINALLY arrived. IT TOOK AROUND 7 WEEKS. Turned out they packaged CELLO ROSIN. I WAITED 7 WEEKS, FOR 2 PACKS OF ALL WEATHER BASS ROSIN FOR $70, AND I GOT CELLO ROSIN. Needless I am very upset and disappointed in Kolstein. My friend told me they were reliable in the past, but they have completely failed me. Might be because of their legal issues with their lost equipment.

I was looking for a guitar teacher and Matt Pinto wrote, "I'm your guy." After two lessons with…read morehim, I trust that he is the guy. He's got vast knowledge and experience and he knows all of the goals of your future guitar talents. He breaks it down into little skills and he guides you on your technique with course corrections because he knows what habits you need to develop and which behaviors you need to avoid. He also gets to know what kind of music you like so he can steer you in that direction as well as give you the foundations of other styles of music that will help you. He gives you homework and he will help you with it between lessons and he's very encouraging with positive feedback. He also knows multiple ways to play each note or chord which is helpful when you are learning how to move cords or how to develop the muscles in your hands. Trust me when I say that Matt Pinto is the guy. In addition, he plays guitar regularly in various bands and as a session musician as well.
