Graham in Hollywood Heights really changed my teenage son's attitude towards piano, he went from being uninterested to now happily practicing different kinds of music and even writing his own songs

We were just testing and trying the piano lessons at first but after few lessons with Graham in Old Town Scottsdale, my daughter was hooked on to his piano. They worked together on some disney songs which got my daughter glued to his classes and they are also learning classical pop.

It’s been nearly a year since I started piano lessons with Graham in Midtown. his upright piano has such a deep beautiful sound that even the basics feel rewarding to play. We focus mainly on modern pop pieces with a bit of easy classical mixed in. he strikes the perfect balance challenging me enough to improve while keeping everything manageable and enjoyable.
