Brandon W.

1 Scales lesson

He used a combination of writing out examples for diatonic and chromatic scales, as well as using a computer program to visually show how to transpose between C Major and any other major scale. He was friendly and courteous. He was patient with me when I didn't quite understand it and was willing to try and explain it a different way to help me grasp concepts, and then he helped me run through writing out several major scales to make sure I'd fully grasped the concept.

2 Scales lessons

Mike did an excellent job reviewing the difference between natural, harmonic, and melodic minor scales, as well as major, minor, augmented, and diminished scales. He was very patient. We plan on working with him again.
Sheila M.

38 Scales lessons

Kyoko has been wonderful with our 9 year old son, who's approach to piano has mostly precluded scales and theory...he hears a great song, then learns to play it! With Kyoko's masterful guidance, he is also now reading music and playing scales and mindful of proper finger placement. And he still plays at will, for fun...we are so grateful for her thoughtful guidance, and caring approach! Best of luck, Kyoko. We'll miss you
