Evan is my instructor and he is very patient with my limited piano skills (which was a one -fingered rendition of Do-Re-Mi). I do wish the room that we practiced in was a bit more spacious (it is about the size of a walk in closet ) . After my last two lessons, I was given chords to practice at home on my keyboard (which is a good way of staying fresh and keep the progress going ) . I feel like the previous 2 star reviews here on Yelp are a bit harsh , since the staff has been nothing but friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating (even when I am running late.) Looking forward to learning more on the Piano with Evan.

He has really helped my son find new styles of music and new artists to explore. They do offer recitals and rock band practice, but my son is pretty introverted so we haven't participated in them yet. Even still, my son sees himself as a musician and it has really helped his confidence. Overall I'm just so happy we chose BML for my child.

It's clear to me there is no other alternative to services for any piano other than Illos. I've been playing more than usual, thanks to an exemplary job well done.

Now, don't send me hate mail about the fact that there are other companies still producing rolls, from my knowledge, the other companies are art-house style operations with limited distribution and in the piano roll world, that's really limited. Alas, piano rolls have mostly gone the way of the vinyl record. The demand for player piano or pianola rolls has been kept alive by a dedicated group of collectors like me. There is nothing like actually hearing and feeling the performance. So, there's the good news. The less good news is that QRS is no longer owned and operated locally, factory tours are no longer available, and important historical pieces have been moved out of the area and are now on display at a museum in Arizona. This includes the QRS Marking Piano which was named by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers as a National Historic Mechanical Engineering Landmark in 1992. Gotta' roll!

But they don't only offer lessons to children they offer lessons to adults too!
