My daughter began her lessons a month and a half ago, and despite her initial lack of knowledge about her chosen instrument, I am already witness to her progress. Steven has been incredibly patient with her, demonstrating impressive teaching skills. My daughter adores him and eagerly anticipates her weekly sessions.

He is highly professional and knowledgeable, and my child works exceptionally well with him. We have been under his tutelage for two years now, and we have witnessed tremendous progress in our child's chello playing skills. I strongly recommend him as an excellent teacher.

Steven is an exceptional teacher. Despite playing cello in school for two years, my son has shown more progress in just two months of one-on-one weekly lessons with Steven than during his entire orchestra tenure. As a result, I am extremely pleased with his growth and cannot express my gratitude or admiration for Steven enough.
