Robert B.

29 Piano lessons

My thirteen year old son had his first piano lesson (ever) last evening with Griffin B. (Basically, my son was familiar with middle C. He had never played piano before, but we had recently inherited a piano, and he expressed some interest in learning to play). During last night's lesson, Griffin patiently encouraged my son to familiarize himself with the keyboard, explaining notes, keys, even basic chords, in a way that was upbeat, patient, and fully engaged.
Bryan M.

1 Piano lesson

Diane has been giving me weekly piano lessons at her home for a few months. I am 33 years old and I want to learn piano out of interest. I started as a complete beginner and she has been very patient with me. Her piano is nice and she helped me choose a good keyboard so I can practice at home. Diane focuses on proper technique and she is very good at showing what to do. Her rates are reasonable and I highly recommend Diane to anyone who wants to learn to play piano.

Do doubt, His qualifications precede him! He is very patient and knows just what’s appropriate teaching approach to my daughter’s learning ability. At day one, she is clueless how to play piano. Today, she can already play basic piano pieces. My daughter looks forward to seeing Dillon every Sundays piano lesson. To be honest, I’m kinda on the side of being “stage mom” at times, and playing piano is something I would wish for my daughter to learn. Dillon is very understanding and supportive.
