The lessons are provided at Sandoval. Ainsworth is a great piano teacher and keeping her for tutoring was a game changer for my son as she had a very good and efficient way of taking piano classes which helped my son grabbing all the classical and modern techniques at very fast rate.The lessons which were held was very fresh and exiting and my son enjoyed it a lot.

Our two children are guided by Ainsworth harmony lessons in Deer Valley and the results have been incredible. They now perform duets together at family gatherings blending their voices so well that it’s truly delightful to hear. Watching their progress and shared enjoyment has made this experience deeply fulfilling for all of us.
