Aya Yuasa is a great piano instructor who is patience and has an open-minded approach to teaching. From the moment I began my lessons with her, I felt supported and encouraged to explore various aspects of piano playing that interested me.

Dillon has been a great instructor. He's been very responsive, willing to answer questions outside of the lessons, supportive during the lessons and has had a great way of adding lightness into what can be stiff playing when beginning on the piano.

Jae is a wonderful piano teacher. He has been giving lessons to my 7 year old son for about a year now and we have had a great experience. Jae is understanding of student’s learning styles and makes lessons engaging and fun for my son. I highly recommend him as a piano teacher!
We have also been to see a concert at A4 Collective and it was great as well. Looking forward to attending future performances!

Jae is amazing & I highly recommend him as a piano teacher! He is very attentive and picks up on tiny things for me to work on that I would never have known to focus on without his feedback. He also helps me break down difficult parts of songs in a way that makes my practice more efficient. From the beginning, Jae helped me identify my personal goals with piano, which include learning to site read, improvisation, and being able to play by ear. I like being able to work on each of these goals at every lesson. I always feel more excited and inspired to continue learning piano after a lesson with Jae. As an adult learner, I don’t always get to practice as much as I would like, but I still find our lessons helpful even when I’m not as prepared. Jae is very creative with lessons and I feel like he truly cares about my progress & experience. A4 Studio also hosts many events, making it a unique place if you’re looking for a piano community. If you’re looking for an excellent, professional, kind piano teacher, Jae is your guy!

I started taking piano lessons with Manuel about a month ago and my
playing has already improved, as well as my understanding of the chords and the progressions that I play :)
Would totally recommend!

Sonya is an extremely talented musician and teacher. Both my 9 year-old daughter and I have been taking piano lessons with Sonya for over a year now, during which time we’ve made great strides. Whether you’re an adult learner (like me) or a child studying music for the first time, Sonya can fluidly adjust lessons for age, musical interest, or skill level. Her suggestions are easy to follow and help not only play songs but also understand music on a deeper level. The lessons are also a lot of fun, and both my daughter and I look forward to them each week. I’ve had several piano teachers and I can confidently say Sonya is the best!

My 7 year old nephew started lesson with David for roughly a month now and he told me David is definitely a 5-star teacher. Before finding David on Thumbtack my nephew was learning else where for a year but the result wasn't satisfying and his interest for piano was somehow dampened. David was quick to access my nephew's skill and was able pinpointed the exact issue that had been bothering us. He did it all in the trial lesson. David is great with kids and is even a better teacher. In just 5 lessons (including the trial) , I already see my nephew enjoying piano more. He hums the pieces he just learned which had never happened with the previous teacher. We are so happy we found David on Thumbtack :)

Very friendly, approachable, accommodating, responsive, and patient! Francis makes you feel very comfortable during the lesson :) Highly recommend for semi-experienced piano players who are coming back after a long break from not playing (like my case).

I highly recommend David as a piano teacher, especially for adult beginners. He helped me rapidly improve my technical proficiency by having me work on a goal piece immediately while introducing the necessary theoretical knowledge as needed. This approach is great for adult beginners as it allows you have fun playing what you want immediately instead of wasting months on slowly working through beginner pieces. As someone brand new to piano, he was able to coach me into being able to play 1min30s of my goal piece for his studio class within 4-5 lessons.
I can also attest to the effectiveness of his methodologies. David teaches you how to break down difficult sections and efficient ways of practicing in order to learn new pieces quickly. In addition, his experience/skill as a teacher was readily apparent in my lessons with him. During one of my one hour sessions with David, I was able to progress past a section I was stuck on in my personal practice for a week. Also, he is also easy to reach for questions outside of lesson hours and will help you develop a plan to achieve your piano goals.
If you are in the market for a piano teacher, consider taking a trial lesson (1 hour at a discounted rate) with David to experience his methods firsthand. I was not disappointed and I don't think you will be either.

I’ve been taking piano lessons with Carol for the past 6 months. In this time I’ve gotten much farther then I could have on my own. I would definitely recommend her to any beginner looking for a knowledgeable and kind teacher. 5 stars!!!

Manuel is an exceptional piano teacher! He is a talented and knowledgeable musician who brings passion, expertise, and professionalism to every lesson. Manuel's teaching style is patient, articulate, and tailored to my goals and interests. I have quickly improved my technique and understanding of the piano. He creates a warm and inspiring environment that makes learning enjoyable. Manuel is communicative, friendly, and flexible in accommodating what I want to work on. If you're looking for an outstanding piano teacher who will help you become a better, more well-rounded musician while making the journey rewarding and fun, Manuel is the perfect choice.

David's Studio has a unique methodology to train its students in understanding musicianship and succeeding in their respective goal pieces. I came on to train with David, being a beginner and having no previous experience playing piano. I can honestly say that my time spent with him through both private and group lessons has led me to rapidly excel in one of the more difficult classical and famous pieces of Fur Elise (a goal of mine for some time). I highly recommend David and his studio for piano lessons and training, regardless of level of talent. His patience and expertise are some of the many qualities that are worth both the time and commitment.

David is an incredibly professional and a very knowledgable teacher, who helped structure lessons based on my own individual goals and interests related not just to piano but to music and music theory more general.
I did work on individual pieces and his unique methodologies helped me to very quickly learn and piece together my solo piano piece. But more importantly for me, his ability to teach music theory allowed me to quickly understand chords, chord progressions and jump right into composing my own small pieces, which was my main goal for the lessons.
We also spent some time working on the concept of improvisation, which was great for creating ideas in general and as an aid to composition. Something that I wouldn't have thought of on my own or known where to begin accessing resources.
Finally, he's super accessible and quick to respond to questions about music or the piano, which makes him a great resource in and out of the lesson itself. If you're looking to find an expert pianist and a fantastic teacher, you can't do better than David!

My 8 year old enjoys his piano lessons with Nick. Nick does a great job of being encouraging while holding my son accountable for learning what he needs to learn. He’s also been flexible with scheduling which is extremely helpful especially during family vacations.

We started piano sessions with David in September 2021. Both me and my 13 year old are taking piano lessons from David Chang, with a few years and no prior expereince respectively.
David has a special teaching style -- sets, adding in reverse, the specific notational system, spaced repetition, musical details, mental practice, and musicality.... that have helped me progress rapidly and helped my pre-teen stay engaged and curious.
David is super responsive and easy to reach when we have questions.

I’m very happy I found David as a piano instructor. What sets him apart is his personalized approach to teaching. He takes the time to get to know his students on an individual basis, tailoring his lessons to meet their specific goals.
He’s also a warm and engaging teacher who makes his students feel comfortable and supported. His patience and encouragement create a positive learning environment that fosters growth and development.
Overall, I highly recommend David as a piano instructor. His passion for music, combined with his technical skill and personalized approach to teaching, make him an excellent choice for anyone looking to learn or improve their piano playing.

I started lessons with David Chang a month and a half ago and everything has been going great ever since. Initially, I was concerned that I wouldn’t be able to play any instruments in my life, since my hands sweet excessively at random times mostly all of the time. David did a great job showing me over the past few weeks through his teachings that the problem with my hands isn’t a problem at all when it comes to playing the piano.
He also spent a lot of time outside of our lessons assisting me with purchasing the right piano so that I could practice his techniques on my own time. He has a ton of patience and actually seems genuinely interested in the success of his students.

Dierk has a genuine passion and understanding of music that shines through and allows him to create an atmosphere during the lesson that feels more like fun than work. His approach is intuitive, specific, patient, kind and engaging. I’m not only learning to play the piano I’m learning to love it while doing so. He’s the best!

David is an excellent piano teacher and I am very happy I signed on with him. I had about 9 years of piano classes when I grew up and now I came back to it after about 15 years of a break. In the first four lessons we covered shaping, balance, voicing, pedaling, dynamic contrasts, mental practice. He also offers a free studio class with his students and a recital. It is fun and challenging at the same time and i can see my playing improve steadily.

I was looking for a piano teacher to help me get started again after a 10 year hiatus and I’m so glad I found David! I’m just 6 months, he was able to get me to perfection with my first goal piece. David brings a unique methodology that has helped me advance in my piano playing faster than I ever thought I could. Through my practice with him, I’ve learned more about piano theory, practice techniques, and classical music than I did in ten years of playing as a child. On top of that, David is a pleasure to work with. He’s extremely communicative, punctual, and accommodating. I look forward to my weekly lessons with David and participating in group recitals and studio classes for many seasons to come!

Matt is a talented and versatile player and teacher. He has a deep knowledge of jazz theory and piano technique, and adapts his teaching and feedback to my musical interests. I wasn't sure how remote video lessons would work, but he has a professional zoom setup and a great ear, so it's really not a barrier. I'm already noticing improvement and having a lot of fun playing!
