Quick Update: a friend told me he changed his response!! So I just had to let the world know his deal. Be aware.. this guy Warren edited his response to choose nicer words because it showed how egotistical he comes off! Eek, big red flag to stay away!! His first response to my review was not so friendly for being a business owner and offering piano services to families with children. OMG! He appears he wants to fill his spots and even if you are already reserved a date and cant respond to his virtual assistant within 48 hours, he will say we will move onto another student. He is not apologetic, not sincere, not PATIENT and not understanding. Just say sorry, but instead he is now rude and so now he had to revise his response here since it will scare other families away! My original yelp review: Mess with my family or mess with my time.. this is a good way to to get to a bad start with me. This is exactly what Mr. Warren and his 'personal virtual assistant' Michel did. He messed with my time. He disappointed me and most importantly my daughter. - was on vacay for our anniversary in Italy - booked the payment they wanted while on my vacay, told them a date for a consult while on my vacay. took the afternoon off for the consult when we are back - booked the first piano lesson and my daughter was so excited to start piano with an instructor with amazing yelp reviews. - day of consult I get an email saying this isnt going to work out. The assistant Michel did not hear from me via email x2 days and Mr. Warren said this isnt going to work out and just dropped us and said they are moving on to the next. Oooouu, I was pissed. We were planning for her lesson and the consult. Wow.. no phone call, just a quick email. And I hate communicating over emails when it comes to discussing certain services. Michel should have called me. I am not buying a product, I am looking for piano mentorship for my children. And if Warren isnt nice and cordial with me, how much more would I trust my kids with this guy. I had to break the news to my daughter this piano teacher is not interested in helping us with piano lessons. Never met this guy, dont want to now. He seems to have an ego based on his emails. Please change Michels title to personal assistant instead of personal virtual assistant. Thats not an insult. We were treated like sorry you cant respond ASAP within 2 days, lets move on to another family. Found this guy on Yelp.. so thats why Im leaving a review back here on Yelp. Not all yelp reviews are true so I hope this helps another family if anyone goes through this or is deciding to start with this place. When I find a good piano teacher and studio.. Ill leave my recommendation here. read more

My 8 year old son has been with Mr. Warren for almost a year now and he has learned so much! He went in not ever playing a note on a piano to now having played in 2 recitals. In his own words, "Mr. Warren has boosted my confidence to be able to play in recitals in front of an audience." So, he is not only learning piano skills but "life" skills to have the confidence and overcome his fears of performing for an audience. For that, as a parent, I am most appreciative to Mr. Warren! I highly recommend Warren for piano lessons; he will not only teach them how to play piano, but also teach them life lessons they will take with them beyond just playing piano. It's been a rewarding past year to watch my son grow! read more

Rhapsody Piano Studio - Musical Instruments & Teachers Near Me

My 6 year old started piano lessons with Mr. Warren just several months ago but we have already seen how much she has learned and grown since. I cannot express enough how grateful I am to have found such an amazing piano teacher for my daughter. Even from our very first lesson, we have seen Mr. Warren's passion for music and teaching. We so appreciate Mr. Warren's technique and approach, balancing fun with challenge, and his ability to connect with his students. These along with an encouraging and nurturing environment that Mr. Warren has fostered have helped my daughter feel comfortable asking questions and expressing her thoughts, and contributed to her progress and love for piano. It has been great to witness my daughter's piano skills flourish, and look forward to the progress she will continue to make, and Mr. Warren's guidance. We cannot recommend him enough as piano teacher! read more

Our kids, who are 7 and 8, started working with Mr. Warren approximately six months ago. We always wanted our kids to start a musical instrument but did not have any background ourselves. The kids were not thrilled to start but we asked them to give it a try. Immediately after starting, we could not believe how excited they were after each piano class. Mr. Warren makes piano super fun and engaging, which can be hard to do with such young kids. He ensures that the student picks their own music and includes introductory songs that the kids know (such as Disney), which makes them enthusiastic about the process. They have surprisingly made it a habit to practice piano every day, without us reminding them to do so. Mr. Warren expects daily practice but does not set a designated time. This puts the power in the kids' hands and they actually are more willing to practice knowing it doesn't feel forced to do a certain amount of minutes. He also provides a sticker book so that they get a sticker each time they practice and a reward at the end of completion. Sounds so basic but this goes a long way in furthering their commitment. As the kids expanded their technique with more difficult songs, it got challenging at times. Mr. Warren provided us with guidance on how to handle these situations when the kids got frustrated at their inability to get the songs right. When I think most teachers would say practice more, he did what was best for our individual kids as they both learn and behave differently. He also had plenty of videos of him playing these songs on YouTube so the kids can watch anytime and learn the keys and pacing. The piano recitals encourage the kids to work towards a goal while also giving them a confidence boost. We love how there is a range of talent in the room with complete beginners to seasoned teenagers. It allows the kids to see that they have so much potential if they keep going. We cannot recommend Mr. Warren enough as a piano teacher. He is professional, highly skilled, and works excellent with kids. read more

When I was a kid, piano was something I always wish I could have learned. So being able to play piano as an adult has been an amazing experience and I am grateful to study with Warren. I've been taking piano lessons for a whole year and Warren has made the learning process as enjoyable and stress-free as possible. I look forward to practicing and not once has it felt like "work." That's not to say it hasn't been challenging, but he has great resources (his own YouTube videos) which make playing a whole lot easier. And the music books he teaches are engaging and entertaining. Not only have our lessons been fun, but he's been very understanding when it comes to my schedule. When I began my Master's Degree program I considered stopping piano lessons, but Warren has found ways to keep the lessons enjoyable with the limited time I sometimes have. Warren is an exceptional instructor who makes sure all my needs are fulfilled. Not only have I learned a lot about playing piano, he's also been able to give me a lot of tips for studying and time management. I'm looking forward to this next year of piano lessons, thank you so much! read more

My 8 year old daughter has been with Mr. Warren for 1 year now. We had in-person class and then about a month later covid hit. Despite having all courses virtually, I am so thankful for how far she has come along. Not only is she excelling musically but her confidence and resilience has improved so much. He takes the time to build trust and he is able to adjust his teaching style by gauging how my daughter responds. She thoroughly enjoys logging on every week and she absolutely adores Mr. Warren. Watching my daughter appreciate music as much as I do is such a rewarding feeling. read more

After being inspired by Ms. Lin's virtuosic compelling performance, I approached her because I wanted to enhance my piano playing. Ms. Lin helped me by catering to my specific needs as an amateur piano student, in which she supported me by understanding my ultimate passion for music. The result was a gratifying experience because I now have an improved and effective piano practice technique that I never once had. More than that, I can manage skills that were never once acquired before, such as sight reading piano music in an effective manner. One specific item I liked and enjoyed about Ms. Lin's teaching was her unique approach in utilizing a variety of technique for students. She is a promising teacher who never limits piano playing to one style. I found the experience rewarding and heartwarming - as a student and as a friend. I would recommend Ms. Lin to anyone who wants to begin a joyous piano journey. Whether you're an amateur piano student just like me, or a serious pianist in the making, Ms. Lin will be the one and only piano teacher and friend you'll remember a lifetime. read more

Rhapsody Piano Studio - Musical Instruments & Teachers Near Me

The time spent with Warren has been a very rewarding experience in aiding my development in piano and as a better person. Warren improved my piano practice, offering me advice such as effective ways of memorization, sectioning measures to master one at a time, daily practicing schedule, and several techniques to play softer (which I struggled with). He was understanding and patient when I had a busy week but made sure I was on my game next lesson. One of the memorable learning methods Warren taught me was to play music pieces that technically challenged me while also playing easier songs alongside for enjoyment. This made me have more fun while learning the pieces! I would greatly recommend Warren for anyone learning piano as you will feel at home with him! warren is a great piano teacher, a friend, and a great mentor. Thank you Warren! :) read more

My daughter has been attending Rhapsody Piano Studio for the last year and a half and I cannot believe how far she has come! Mr. Warren takes a unique approach to piano lessons. He does not bore children with tedious piano exercises. Instead he moves them along from song to song while teaching them the foundation of piano. My daughter is shy and can be unsure of new challenges, but Mr Warren has pushed her to come out of her shell and flourish at piano. He gives me updates and creates a unique learning plan which is geared towards how my child learns best. In fact, at our last piano recital, my daughter exceeded my expectations and impressed our whole family with her newfound abilities. I would highly recommend Rhapsody Piano for anyone who wants their child to learn piano in a fun yet rigorous environment! read more

My 15 year old son has been with Rhapsody Piano Studio and working with Mr. Warren for about a year now. Caleb was completely new to piano when he started and he continues to love it. I've seen tremendous growth since he started. What I love most about Mr. Warren is his passion for teaching piano, but more than that, his genuine interest in making an impact in my child's life. He makes it a point to check in with Caleb and my son has responded well to the extra support. I would recommend him and his studio to anyone who is interested! read more

My kids started piano lessons with Warren a year ago and so far it has been a great experience for all of us. Kids are learning and improving significantly. Warren has kindly helped me to help my kids with their practice by giving me detailed suggestions, frequent communications and updates of my kids' progress. I love seeing that my kids are enjoying their piano lessons with Warren. Their confident really shows when they perform during recitals. read more

My 10 year old has been Warren's student for 3 years. Warren is a wonderful teacher! I'll admit that starting lessons for my daughter was initially more my idea than hers. Fast forward 3 years, and she has developed a true love of music and appreciation for piano. This is absolutely a result of Warren's teaching style. In observing his interactions with my daughter, I'm impressed by his obvious passion for both teaching and music. He is very encouraging, and he engages my daughter in the learning process by asking her input in sheet music and daily practice goals. He ultimately teaches important lessons about study habits and persistence that my daughter has applied to her piano lessons and that have also helped in her life in general. We are so glad that we found Warren and have referred him to several of our friends! read more

My 7 year old daughter Riley has been taking piano lessons from Mr. Warren for almost a year now. When I was looking for a piano teacher for her...I was hoping to find someone that was more than just a teacher that was helping her learn how to play the piano. I was fortunate enough to find Mr. Warren and he has not only met but he has exceeded my expectations of what it means to be a piano teacher. Not only is he Riley's piano teacher...Mr. Warren is also her mentor, supporter and a male role model figure for her. On my initial phone call to Mr. warren, I had shared that I am divorced from Riley's father and that I wanted her to have piano as an outlet. I had expressed how Riley needs some help opening up and help increasing her confidence because she is an extremely shy little girl. Mr. Warren has been such a blessing for us as he has continued to encourage and challenge Riley. He is very receptive and open to suggestions/feedback and makes piano lessons fun. I am extremely grateful for what Mr. Warren has done and is continuing to do for my daughter and has been such a positive influence on her. He is not just there to teach her how to play the piano...Mr. Warren genuinely cares!! Thank you for all that you do for her!! Riley and I appreciate you!! read more

When I first transferred to Ms. Lin, I was an amateur pianist- and I'm still learning- who learned by raw practice with no technique or finesse. But since then, I feel like Ms. Lin helped me quite a bit in improving my memorization skills, my technique, as well as playing musically. She is a great listener and often tunes her teaching style to fit each student (as I have observed between my brother and I), and many times over, Ms. Lin has been willing to work with me, even when I became frustrated with the lessons or a particular piece of music. Ms. Lin knows how to push her students to their limits and encourages all of us to work hard. She doesn't let us make excuses for ourselves and is determined to shape us into better pianists, even when something is particularly hard to master. Ms. Lin isn't just a teacher, but also someone who deeply connects to each one of her students, often resulting in a great friendship between teacher and student. Ms. Lin works well with many types of people and I think her patience is one of her greatest assets. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to learn piano as a hobby or future career. read more

My three children have been taking piano lessons from Mr. Lee since 2013. Since switching teachers I have seen a drastic improvement in their playing, practice and experience. What's amazing to me is how I don't have to push my children to practice or even remind them. I also appreciate that he gives them clear, simple instructions so they know what to practice, when to practice, and how to practice. Thank you Mr. Lee for teaching them how to love and enjoy music! read more

My two sons have been taking piano lessons from Mr. Warren since 2010 and my 5 year old daughter just started lessons this past summer.

My daughter is 6 years old and she has been taking piano lessons since December 2016. Mr.Warren is my daughter's piano teacher. He is a kind person and really care for his students. Especially, he motivates my daughter and makes piano lessons more fun than stressful. My daughter has started piano lessons with Mr.Warren for only 6 months but she improves a lot and she enjoys practicing and playing piano at home without forcing. My daughter had her first recital last month and that was so awesome. Mr.Warren makes my kid become a star and I feel so proud of her. My daughter and I are so lucky to have Mr.Warren as her piano teacher. I remember during the first week of the piano class, I was struggling to find a piano for my daughter, Mr.Warren did offer to help me find a piano for my daughter. He was looking on amazon and sent me the link so it made easier for me to buy a piano because I have no experience about any kind of instruments. In addition, if I have any questions and I email or text him, I always get the fastest response from him. So even I do not have time to take my daughter to his class and sit in the class to wait for the lesson but I always know how my daughter is doing in his class because Mr.Warren has a good in touch with parents of the students. He is such a awesome piano teacher!!!! read more
