During my piano session with Dr. Kreeger, we collaborated to refine my piano technique which had deteriorated over the years. Thanks to the CrackerJack app, Dr. Kreeger promptly responded to my request and the scheduling process was super easy. Our virtual lesson through Zoom allowed Dr. Kreeger to observe me playing several pieces that I was self-teaching. He comprehensively covered all aspects of playing the piano, emphasizing the importance of consistency in practice to enhance my skills over time. Our discussion ranged from maintaining proper posture and setup to body mechanics, and even how to stylize phrasing in the music I was learning. Dr. Kreeger incorporated his expertise to tailor the lesson to meet my unique needs and aid me in practicing more effectively. I would gladly work with him again in the future and highly recommend him to anyone seeking piano lessons.
