For nearly a year, Aaron has served as my piano teacher and his instructional method has given me newfound motivation to progress from my beginner level to an intermediate stage. He is punctual, genuine, and grants me ample liberty in the selection of pieces, while also offering contextual support that has remedied many of my technical difficulties. Aaron is consistently enthusiastic, eager to engage in diverse musical activities (such as discussing composers or recommending nearby classical music events), and a receptive listener. My time learning from him has been a joyous one, and I anticipate many more years of receiving instruction from Aaron!

Despite the fact that my daughter has only taken two sessions with Aaron, I lack a substantial understanding of his work to form a long-term evaluation. Nonetheless, I must attest to Aaron's efficacious communication skills as he promptly responded to my emails and calls. Additionally, his financial and lesson scheduling approaches exhibited a high degree of professionalism. He even proposed several references for me to verify. Furthermore, Aaron offered a gratis preliminary lesson. Ultimately, my daughter's smile after every session is perhaps the most significant indicator of her satisfaction with Aaron's amicable and pleasant demeanor.

As an adult musician proficient in multiple instruments, I approached Aaron with a strong desire to learn how to play the trumpet. As I already possessed a solid foundation in reading sheet music and practicing techniques, our lessons have been generally focused on jazz duets and sight-reading. Aaron has been incredibly responsive to my emails, and his strict adherence to lesson times reflects his respect for both my schedule and his other students. I am also impressed with his comprehensive knowledge of music theory, which has proven invaluable to me. Overall, I have thoroughly enjoyed my time with him and would highly recommend him to fellow learners.
