I hadn't touched a piano for 20+ years and was asked to play for our church for when the pianist was gone. I was classically trained from 1st to 6th grade. I had to relearn by myself but really wanted to refresh and learn some things I didn't know before and get retaught. Our pastor at the time suggested Phil. Although we did zoom, and I know if it was in person it would have been a lot better, Phil made it work. He had top-notch experience with the technology since COVID made everyone go virtually. The lessons were phenomenal. My lessons were focused on gospel and church music but I learned things like octave-chord, relearning scales (I needed this desperately), playing by ear and my FAVORITE improvisation. I didn't think you can "learn" or "teach" improv but Phil did. He even stated that he wished he recorded our lesson. Although our lessons were limited (just the summer every week), I still utilize everything he has taught me. I am regularly playing the piano now for our church for 3 services a week. It has been an incredible improvement and a lot of it is thanks to Phil. Seek him out and he'll teach you more than you would ever expect. If he does this for adults-- I know for a FACT he can do this with kids.

We made an appointment to come in and Ulysses helped us out. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and helped us through the process. He didn't rush us or pressure us to buy a piano, and he was patient in answering all our questions. We went home that same day to think about which piano we wanted to get and returned a week later to purchase a Yamaha upright piano. Overall, it was a great experience and we now have a beautiful piano!
