My first lesson with Albert led me to believe that playing the piano is something I would like to pursue. He made it fun and taught me the key names in the matter of minutes. Thank you for showing me that playing the piano is just as enjoyable as listening to it.

Al is always on time and always come with a positive attitude. He is helping our son to “shape” his piano skills making him work on pieces that challenge him. I like that Al doesn’t make my son feel bad about his mistakes and encourages him to put his personal touch in what he plays. I really recomend Al as a piano teacher.
