Noah is very knowledgable about piano and music in general. He's extremely easy to learn from, and he will cater lessons to accommodate where you want your piano playing to go!

My 12 years old son has been given pianolessons from Noah for the last few weeks and he loves it! Noah is very friendly and is a very professional teacher. His lesson is fun, clear to understand and easy going so my son never feels any pressure. He is so excited to have more lessons with Noah in the future!

Dillon has been teaching me piano for about 2 months now and I have to say he's a wonderful teacher. He's not only skilled at what he does but also easy and simple to be around. Dillon can teach many lessons which will be applicable through your whole piano journey. I highly recommend atleast trying out a few classes.

Hannah is wonderful! I love our weekly pianolessons. Her level of knowledge, patience and professionalism are remarkable. She always knows how best to break down each piece of music and make it easy and fun. I love that she smiles so much. My lessons with her are the best part of my week and I’m so happy to have found such a great teacher!

Nadav must have a calm but persuasive way of teaching, because my teenage son responds really well to his instructions to the point of taking notes and eagerly practicing SLOWLY everyday without being reminded. In fact, he of course looks forward to Nadav's lessons, but seems to be enjoying practicing piano. For the first lesson, Nadav brought 3 pieces of music for my son to choose from, based on the past videos I sent Nadav. Those were all excellent choices (interesting and level appropriate) so that my son won't get discouraged practicing a too difficult a song for months on end without improving or finding it disengaging to play too easy a song. My son started studying piano 8 years ago, but finally during this past month he's been studying piano with Nadav, he's truly beginning to enjoy music, and I can't ask for more.

It’s never easy to pick your piano teacher, especially when you’re a beginner. David demonstrated a great deal of professionalism and patience in the first (trial) lesson. Before I met David, I already tried few teachers and was very uncertain about whether I should begin my piano journey or not. Not only is David experienced in performing but he’s also dedicated in teaching, and he’s passionate about finding the right method for each student.
He’s a trustworthy teacher who’s relentless on sharing his own musical experiences and teaching his methodology in great details. How to relax your arms, how to put your weight while practicing, how to read music,(as a beginner) how to overcome obstacles physically and psychologically. Through his methods, I was able to approach music more efficiently. After very few lessons, I began to feel some improvement and stated to feel the joy in solving problems. And now I’m increasing my lessons from one-hour to two-hour per week. This is definitely the best musical decision I’ve made and I’d recommend David to anyone who’s interested in learning piano and music theory.

David is a fantastic piano teacher and a pleasure to work with. I’ve been studying virtually with David in 1.5 hour weekly lessons since near the start of the pandemic (about 6 months now). Previously I studied piano for about a year in high school. Within 6 months I’ve learned much more than I could have hoped in this time (and much more than in the year of study with other teachers) - including already performing Menuet in G Major by Bach, Meryton Townhall by Henry Purcell and Georgiana by Dario Marinelli (from the Pride & Prejudice soundtrack), and currently working on my first Debussy prélude. David has enabled me to move past what I initially viewed as long term stretch goals and turn them into short to medium term goals. When I initially began my lessons, my fiancé, who had intended to teach himself with a combination of piano books, training videos and applications, quickly assessed both the quality of David’s lessons and my progression working with David and began taking lessons with David as well (we have now begun learning duets in addition to our solo pieces). David is both an excellent piano player and teacher, and has devoted much study and practice into preparing teaching methodologies that enable his students to progress rapidly and to develop good habits from the outset. To that end, David teaches you how to teach yourself to learn pieces and to practice most efficiently, recognizing that we are all short on time. In so doing, he takes into account your own personal tendencies, strengths and weaknesses and helps you to develop plans how to proceed outside of lesson time. David also provides a wealth of opportunities to perform for other students, and teaches a performance mindset so that his students are ready at any time to perform the pieces in their current repertoire. (This performance mindset is also transferable to work and other aspects of life.) I’ve performed over zoom and FaceTime for over a dozen students during my lessons, and that is not to mention the studio session that we participated in last month in which David’s students all performed (which also served to help teach listening critically to performances), and a forthcoming recital. David also teaches his students musicality in performing, and I can attest to this quality stemming from his teaching as I’ve now heard so many of his students perform. As David noted in one of my lessons, in a simple piece a beginner can sound like a professional if the player performs with musicality. David also pays great attention to detail, which shows both in our correspondence and during lessons. He was extremely prompt to respond to my initial Thumbtack inquiry and communicating with David has been extremely easy ever since.

Nick is one of the best! I studied piano for 12 year when I was younger and loved. As it always does, life got in the way and I took a brief hiatus from lesson for almost 20 years. I was eager to pick back up but nervous as I had been out of practice. I wanted a teacher that was well studied, still performed and kind but still knew when to push me. Nick met all those requirements and more! I felt an instant connection. He's able to breakdown music theory concepts into easy digestible bites, has a wealth of knowledge in a variety of genres and can make even the most apprehensive students fall in love with piano! He's extremely responsive and always willing to text, email or send a quick video if you have a question about your practice. If you want the best, look no further than Nick!

I am an experienced pianist, but have taken a number of years off to focus on my career. Decided to work with David as a teacher to get back into training and to prepare for a solo recital. David's lessons are very valuable and suitable for pianists at any level. I started off at 1 hour per week but have increased to 2 hours per week because of the value. More specifically, I have (within 2 months) made great process on my ability to add shaping and balance to pieces. I brought a rusty version of the Minute Waltz to him about 6-7 weeks ago that he has helped me bring to performance level. I also feel that my ability to critically listen has dramatically improved during the time. David also teaches me piano theory to get my understanding of piano up to my playing ability. Lastly, David is incredibly easy to reach by phone or text and will field questions from me about my practice throughout the week. It is incredibly helpful to have a teacher that responsive and committed to my learning.
