I have been working with Dr. Steve Fiess of High Range Piano for the last 10 months as an adult…read morepiano student, and I have been extremely satisfied with his instruction. I have been making great progress, and I've been improving faster than I have in the past with other teachers. Overall, Steve is a quiet, calm, all-around kind person. He is always encouraging, even when offering constructive criticism of my playing. I always look forward to my next lesson. After each lesson, I leave feeling good about my playing, and also like I received good feedback, so I know where I need to improve. Steve has been great at helping me select songs to play. As we move on to new pieces, the next one is always just the right difficulty--challenging enough to help me progress but always within reach with a little bit of work. He's also always open to me bringing in pieces that I want to work on. I usually bring a few in, and he helps me decide which piece will be the best fit for my current skills. Steve's depth and breadth of piano knowledge is also impressive. I often ask him questions about why a particular piece is written a particular way or some other detail about a piece. He always has a thorough answer that covers the relevant areas of music history, theory, and practice. I've never met another piano teacher who is so knowledgeable about the piano and piano music. It really helps to give some context to the music I'm playing and helps me understand it better. Overall, I've been very pleased, and I would not hesitate to recommend High Range Piano to anyone looking for a piano teacher.

My husband and I have been in the adult group for many years (7 for me and 10 for my husband)…read more Steve and Neal are extremely gifted musicians and as teachers they are patient and kind. They instill in all of their students a love for music. If there is a piece I want to play because it speaks to my heart, they will find the music and help me learn it. When my left hand was injured and unable to play for over a year, Neal played the left hand of my pieces and later when I had the use of that hand back, we continued to incorporate duets and a trio (with my sister on the violin) into our music lessons. They knit all of the adult students together in adult studio class, an informal pot luck at which we played for each other. It has been wonderful. We are continuing with on line lessons and adult studio class by Skype.

He honestly told us he thought a three quarter guitar would be a better choice. He did not have any but sent us to a nearby shop he said might have one. That is great customer service.

This is a job which involves precision and a great amount of detail. He ensured I got the finest hammers from Germany, completed the restoration in the shop and returned to spend six hours meticulously integrating, regulating, voicing and tuning. The piano sounds and feels as though it has just come from the Yamaha factory. I could not be more pleased. He had to contend with a number of incidentals caused by previous work and did not get up from the bench until he was satisfied that the piano was in exemplary condition. I received skilled service, at a fair price and my instrument is in stellar shape. Moreover, Richard and his staff are professional, courteous and accommodating at every step of this process. I give them my highest recommendation!

Debited or credited automatically each month. It came with violin, bow, chin rest, shoulder rest and a case. Not to mention ALL repairs are covered and tuning. The $25 also includes accidental break insurance. Value: 70% of each monthly fee is stored as credit on your account towards a brand new violin. They said it takes approximately 2 years worth to get one! By that time, my son will be able to know if he is committed to the violin and can get his very own. How awesome

They just wanted to help me make a good choice based on my budget and needs. The service and sales team were great. Selection is amazing including used equipment. Prices are competitive and they have teachers available on site if you need a lesson. Nothing beats hands on experience in my view and you get it fully at 2112. Two months into my drumming and I'm very sure that I made the right decision to purchase my kit here.
