Max is extraordinary! He is attentive, explains concepts well and always keeps a professional demeanor. Although I had 10 years of piano training already, I am slowly losing my eyesight and asked Max if he would teach me the rudiments of jazz improvisation so that I can play without the aid of written music. My lessons are the highlight of my week and I am slowly beginning to grasp the theory behind playing the piano. I highly recommend Max as a teacher!

Max is fantastic! I’m new to playing the piano & he’s been the perfect teacher for me…. patient, professional, attentive, knowledgeable, and caters our lessons to my learning style. He also excels at explaining theories etc. in a way that makes sense to a beginner. He’s easy to work with & I’ve learned so much from him in a short time. I highly recommend Max!

Max is a great piano teacher, especially if you want to focus on music theory. I've been taking lessons with him for a few months and already have learned a lot about playing music and jazz in general, in addition to specific piano mechanics. He has also been quite responsive and flexible with me when I've needed to reschedule lessons. Overall, would definitely recommend to any piano student.

Max knows his stuff. I came to him mainly looking to expand my knowledge regarding musical theory and to apply that to other instruments that I play. Within only a couple of lessons I've already noticed a difference with how I approach playing other instruments. The material he gives is not overwhelming but its efficient in that I feel like I am gaining knowledge and techniques that can be applied to learning or composing other pieces of music. I would definitely recommend him whether you are a beginner trying to learn a new instrument or more experienced and trying to get a more solid grasp on musical theory.
