Santos Haynes rated Stanley

Castro, San Francisco

I started Piano lessons with Stanley who has a wonderful way of instructing my nine year old daughter living in Castro. This kind and imaginative teacher doesn't just give lessons he joins his at the piano creating a truly engaging experience each time. For my quiet imaginative child these lessons have sparked a beautiful interest in music creation and he is now composing his own little tunes.
