River District, Rockford

4 months ago

I started from scratch with Jiang who gives lessons in the River District. She got me started with easy drills and now we have moved on to some light jazz and learning chord patterns. Her upright piano sounds so beautiful that I always wish the lesson could go on a little longer.

A neighbor in West End recommended Adam and I am really thankful I connected with his. My son uses a keyboard at home, but playing on his piano lets him experience a better tone as he develops. Adam does a great job of keeping him both motivated and smiling.

Living in Heritage Park we enrolled my daughter in lessons with Boyd Robertson a few months back. She gets to play on Isla’s grand piano during sessions while she practices on her compact keyboard at home. Isla’s imaginative approach blends skill building with musical storytelling which has really kept my daughter engaged and eager to learn.

East Rockford, Rockford

about 1 year ago

Starting piano as a teen with no experience felt intimidating at first but learning with Ryan in East Rockford has been a great experience. he teaches on a digital piano and uses lots of visual aids that make it easier to understand rhythms and remember notes. Thanks to his clear and encouraging approach I am now making progress on my very first complete pop song arrangement.

Sterling Hills, Rockford

about 1 year ago

We just settled into Sterling Hills and finding Ashlen has been a true blessing. My two children have completely opposite personalities one thrives on structure while the other is more carefree yet Ashlen adjusts her piano lessons beautifully to fit each of them. She builds their skills with solid classical techniques while adding playful touches of jazz that keep things exciting.
