Adam structures his classes in a fun and enjoyable way. he blends his practical knowledge and theoritical knowledge in a way that makes it so easy to understand. Playing arpeggios on the upright piano has never been so fun!

I used to dread my piano lessons but Adam in Fayetteville made piano fun again. he focuses on ear training and keeps things exciting and is also teaching me improvisation now. The best thing about his is how patient he is with me and I just love his lessons!

I'm from Sterling Ridge, and Adam taught me how to play the piano. His training in rhythm fundamentally altered my sense of timing. He assisted me in internalizing the beat rather than simply counting it out by using games, clapping, and group improv.

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.

What I like about Adam ’s teaching in South Fork is that he builds strong basics and concepts and because of him our kid is now playing like a true pianist and is now serious about learning the instrument. Thank you Adam !

We’re very lucky to have Adam in Twelve Oaks. My middle schooler now plays songs he actually loves starting from pop to movie themes and he is loving it.

In Downtown Tucson, Adam brings energy to every lesson. By incorporating fun games and visuals, he kept my 9-year-old fully engaged and learning at a rapid pace.
