“Great piano lessons. My teacher is terrific. He’s very patient with me, and lessons are stress free and fun. My teacher is very professional and skilled at matching each lessons to where I am with my progress. I started lessons as an adult beginner 2 years ago. Learning piano has been a joy. I am progressing much faster than expected, and am already playing Enya, Beethoven, Billy Joel, all sorts of great music. 

Every few weeks, Norm reviews some of the new upcoming music that we will be working on. Something to really look forward to. There are so many things to learn. I recently started to learn to play by ear, and am doing some blues improvisation. What fun. I was 49 when I started lessons and had been considering it for over 25 years! I am so glad I started when I did instead of waiting and putting it off.”

“Fun inspiring piano lessons and my teacher is really patient. For about two years, my daughter and I have taken piano and keyboard lessons here. We interviewed several teachers and found the best teacher for us. He has a great sense of humor and takes the time to explain things well. He is very encouraging to us. I am gaining confidence each week and enjoy playing all sorts of music. I am now working on playing by ear, and doing duets. 

My 11 year old daughter gets fun music that she loves to play. She also gets to write her own songs. She has recorded several videos and is so excited about it. Is that cool or what? Doing lessons remotely at home is relaxed and comfortable for learning. I am so thrilled with the lessons.” – R. Torres‎

“Super piano lessons, great music. These are the perfect piano lessons for me, interesting and inspiring. I am learning lots of great music. Any time I am not sure of something, he reviews the songs with me and gives me great pointers on how to improve them. Piano lessons don’t have to be so serious and structured that make lessons dry and boring. I really like our lessons. He’s so patient with me, has a great sense of humor, and takes time to explain things to me. No question is ever too silly to ask. I feel totally comfortable, and that makes my progress even better. 

Have been doing lessons now for about 3 years. We work on some fun stuff, classical & modern music, blues improvisation, chords, melodies and more. Finally I can say that I understand music. I always wanted to play piano, and I am so happy I started when I did. The music is challenging at times, but my teacher is always encouraging. I played for some friends the other day, and they were so impressed, especially my blues improvisation which amazed them.” – Sam Robbins‎

“My kids really like piano. Super teacher, very skilled working with children. My two daughters really like playing piano. They are intrigued and fascinated about all the various things you can do with music. I love how the lessons function as a confidence booster for my kids. What a treat for me to to see them so excited about their accomplishments. I like that they work at getting better for themselves, and there is no competition. They have become more decisive and responsible since starting lessons. In addition to learning to read music, they like to do composing projects. They have written several original pieces and are were thrilled when they got to play them for us. 

Our older daughter just performed a song at school and was very proud of it. The lessons are great fun and my girls look forward to their lessons every week.  Their teacher is so skilled working with kids. He is so patient, gets great results, and my kids are quickly mastering the skills that I thought would take much more time. He makes learning to play piano easy and fun. My kids had wanted to do lessons for a couple years. I am so glad that we started when we did. They will now have this enjoyable skill in their lives.”

“Great choice for piano teacher, she loves the lessons. I don't ordinarily write reviews, but I am so happy with lessons, here it is. Our daughter is taking piano lessons with Norm. He is really patient and encourages her a lot. It makes such a difference in how excited she is about doing lessons. She loves to play the keyboard at home. She played for her grandparents this week, and they were just thrilled. 

Besides learning to read music, she is learning to play by ear, compose her own songs, and enjoys finding out about composers, and the world of piano music. She gets to play music from around the world. Brazil, Africa, Canada, Poland, France. I like that she is about the world too. It’s a complete music education, that goes beyond just piano lessons.” – Tanya Blum

“Piano is just plain fun, thoroughly enjoying lessons. I have been playing now for about a year. I have an 88 note keyboard. I find it so relaxing to play, that I find time just about every day, even for a short time. I've always liked music but never thought I would be able to create it myself. I’t a challenge, but the rewards are worth it. 

I wish I had started when I was younger, but my focus now is letting the process unfold and enjoying it all. I generally like slower, pensive pieces. Some of my pieces are new age, and some are classical or folk. Just finished a piece by Bach and one by Bob Dylan. Playing music is such a contrast from what I do in my everyday life. I think that’s why it’s so intriguing to me.” - John Benson

“My two kids love taking keyboard lessons. Their progress is rapid. ‎They really have taken to it, and have put a lot of energy into learning (wish they would do that with their homework at school. They have been taking lessons her for about 2 1/2 years. My son is 8 and my daughter 10. They have been studying popular, classical, folk music, new age, blues and lots more too. To help with learning rhythms, they get to play drums. Also, they record their own music and make videos. Tommy is now playing a great arrangement of ‘Lion Sleeps Tonight’ and he is so into it! 

Their teacher is an accomplished composer and my kids get to write their own music, just like the pro’s do. This helps them see the overall picture of how music can be such an important part of their lives. I often notice how a lot of parents want to start their kids on piano lessons, and just don’t get around to it. I’m really pleased that music will be a special skill that they will always have, and I’m glad that we finally started lessons.” – Sonja Nevins

“Our son is doing great. Loves his piano lessons. Our son started lessons less than two years ago. He hit it off right away with his teacher. He is doing terrific and he’s progressing well. He loves going to lessons here. His progress is very good. They work on lots of fun songs, Star Wars, Lion King, Ode To Joy, Pink Panther, Minuet, and more. He likes to play classical and popular pieces. 

He absolutely loves writing his own music. He and his teacher compose original music together. Obviously, he is really excited about it.

Our teacher has an excellent understanding of our child and what he needed. Each week he reviews last weeks lesson and then moves on to new songs. He has lots of experience working with kids and makes each lesson an adventure in learning. He gives him the time and space to progress at his own comfortable rate. He makes the lessons fascinating and lots of fun. We are so happy with our choice of teachers.” – Hal Burns‎
