WHAT OUR STUDENTS ARE SAYING ABOUT THEIR LESSONS!:
“Amazing! John really has a talent for working with little ones, and even ones with attention issues. He handled some tough behaviors masterfully, patiently, firmly and kindly. Gabey learned a tremendous amount in one session and he had a blast! Huge kudos to John and thanks to Christie for the recommendation.”
-Beth Mugavero, Williamston, MI 8/21/2023
“Hello, we had a great time at the first classes at the piano; the girls were very happy, and Farangiz was very sociable. Thank you for the warmth you gave us on the first day, we liked the school gifts, see you next Wednesday.”
-Folirjana Demolli, Mason, MI 8/17/2023
