"Kevin is a joy to have come to our home! My daughter has been taking lessons from him since Fall 2016. She enjoys the lessons, and Kevin makes it just challenging enough where she actually enjoys practicing!" - Michelle S.
“Over the years our 8 year old son has had a few piano teachers, and Kevin is by far the best. Kevin is incredibly easy to work with, which is so refreshing. He has such an engaging way of teaching and is able to determine where our son needs encouragement or is ready for a challenge. Kevin adjusts his approach to keep interest up in lessons and reward effort. Our son went from being reluctant to practice to putting on his own performances for family events. Thank you, Kevin!!” - Dawn P.
"Kevin has found a way to motivate our son; they share the same high expectations for effort. Our son is excited about playing a variety of musical styles, and is proud of his progress. Kevin is a patient and dedicated teacher." - Jill S.
