Ira was an excellent teacher. I worked with him for about a half a year and in that time he was…read moreable to teach me so much. He is a very easy going instructor and made the process very easy for me by teaching me songs I was very familiar with and interested in. He went out of his way to make himself familiar with songs that he might normally not play himself, but knew I would like. Each week he was always on time and came prepared with new material and techniques to keep things always changing. He is a very good instructor that you will learn a lot from and also share a lot of laughs making the overall experience a real good time.

I have taken four classes with Ira so far and it has been a great experience! I live in the…read moreAlexandria, VA area and had no prior guitar experience. From my experience Ira is very flexible with scheduling, personable and funny (which makes things way more comfortable), and a talented musician who obviously enjoys playing and teaching guitar. He comes to the first class with a instructional book that is very easy to practice with. All in all, I would highly recommend Ira if you are an adult (or if you have a child) who is interested in learning to play guitar!

Our family has been going to George close to 40 yrs. Most of my fine jewelry has been made by him. My husband and I relocated to North Carolina 27yrs ago but we still come up to NJ to George when we are looking for the perfect piece. Mainly because we can trust him completely and he is so easy to work with. Just recently my mom past away and I wanted to have her diamond reset for me to wear as a necklace. I wouldn't have trusted anyone else with my mom's diamond. So up we came to NJ with an idea of what I wanted and he made it happen. My mom would love it especially because George designed it. Thank you! I would recommend LaMirage 100%. Kathy Castellani

My fiance and I had a wonderful experience working with Dan of Dramatic Innovation for our October…read morewedding. From the first moment we met Dan, we knew he was the one we wanted to style our wedding. It was so easy to bounce creative ideas with him, he listens and comes up with beautiful solutions to meet our vision and still be within our budget. Compared to other florists I talked to before I chose him, he genuinely cares about not overspending and honestly tells me when certain flowers are too expensive and are not worth it. During the wedding day, I was beyond ecstatic with his work. I kept raving at how much I loved everything: from the arch, centerpieces, bouquets, and boutineers. He even did my uplighting and placed strands of lighting along the main staircase of my reception room (at a very affordable price), which looked amazing! During makeup and hair, I called to see if he could drop off any baby's breath for my bridesmaid's hair, and he came within minutes! Dan, Albert and I thank you SO much for creating such an incredibly beautiful story for my wedding day. You're awesome and we are so happy we went with you!

Came in here a year ago to see about getting daughter signed up for violin lessons. I brought in a…read moreviolin I purchased on Amazon and the lady who was working there was very kind. She told me I got too big of a violin but we can always rent one (which I thought was fair). She also started to show me how to put it together. Well the gentlemen in the back, forget it. He got all upset, came to me and said I should just go home. Im wasting my time there. Really attempting to belittle me. I dont care if this guy won awards or is the almighty violin king. He is rude, impatient, and will definitely get an award of "biggest j*****s" by me. Go check out the other two music schools who were friendly, forthcoming, and professional.

Update: I received a call from the owner. I will reiterate that local shops in the area, who…read moreservice instruments for some of the worlds most famous instruments and musicians, do not sell strings for triple the price. Additionally, the owner tried to tell me that I may not be "getting the real deal" from other shops. As a professional musician - I can tell the difference between real and fake strings. Shops in the area servicing real Stradivarius instruments are not selling fake strings. Reputable online retailers who serve professional musicians are also not selling fake strings. Additionally, the owner mentioned they provide a service of "installing" the string for you. As an educator, I can tell you that your teacher will do this for you. As a professional musician, I have no idea why this service would be offered to me - it is not common practice nor should it be. If the shop itself is indeed purchasing strings from the makers at double or triple the cost they can be found locally or online, I would have to question their ability to do business. As much as I would love to support a local business and a local music business, this predatory practice is unacceptable.

**More valuable than my college experience in music performance/education**…read more I found myself in need of a world-class mentor when I unexpectedly took possession of a marimba recently. I hadn't played in over a decade but already had a degree in music. I stumbled across Simon in a marimba group on Facebook and saw how HAPPY he was playing. I live in the Midwest but decided to begin online lessons with him. After a few months here's what I can tell you: Teaching virtually doesn't hold him back and we make incredible strides during each lesson. I have "qualified" teachers locally but Simon's philosophy, ACTIVE status as a PERFORMER, and ability to help me as a serious freelance musician mean that he's the right choice even if it's on Facetime. He's SO MUCH MORE than a technical skills teacher! Look, I'm not doing this as a hobby or playing at coffee shops - I'm making this my CAREER through paid public performing and studio recording. That means I need an experienced mentor that can guide me through the minefields of being an independent musician: we spend our lessons going over anything from how to strike a marimba bar to get the best sound, posture, to how to run a music business. I'm not in a cookie-cutter program with Simon, he teaches to MY level, MY goals, and has MY best interests in mind - things that college failed miserably at doing. Much of his website states "the only __in Westchester" but really there's no one ANYWHERE doing what Simon's doing in a way that's accessible worldwide. I WISH I was one of his teen students that have access to his approach so early in life!! Take it from this mid-30s mom making music a profession that Simon is the BEST and worth so much more than what he asks.

I'm a musician and was searching for the right drum/percussion teacher for my Granddaughter. She is…read morevery talented, so I needed the right teacher to take her to the next level. It was important to me that she learn rudiments , how to read drum scores, etc. Since I also wanted her to learn a melody instrument and become proficient with scales, chords and reading melody lines etc. I knew I needed a teacher who was trained in all aspects of percussion (especially mallet instruments like vibraphone, marimba etc.). To make a long story short, I was running out of options, than I found Simon. My granddaughter has progressed beyond my wildest expectations. She now wants to audition for NISMA and the "all state band ". She is learning drums and marimba. Simon keeps it interesting but is demanding (in a good way), my granddaughters talent demands this, she takes her music very seriously as do I. Simon is the best around, I recommend him 200%, and thank God I found him. Thankfully submitted, Joe Picciano
