Piano Lesson was in a very nice studio with a great atmosphere. John Ferrara was very attentive to what my goals for progressing in playing piano were. Was patient and very positive. My confidence was lifted. I really felt hopeful and eager to practice as I left.

John Ferrara is an amazing teacher. If you are looking for someone who truly cares to see you grow as a student, then go to John. I’ve only had 2 lessons with him, but my knowledge on piano feels to have grown exponentially. His home studio is the perfect environment for a lesson. And if you can’t make it to him, he also offers virtual lessons. All I can say is that I recommend John 10/10! :)

Details: 18 - 25 years old • Yes, the student can read music • 2 - 4 yrs of formal training • What the teacher recommends • Yes, the student has a keyboard • 60 minutes • At the pro’s location

Everything about this experience was great. John is a very kind and competent piano tuner. He was shocked that I gave him a tip, fyi.
