I have two daughters, 7 and 9 ys/o, who've been taught piano by Suzanne Karpinski, weekly since…read more2015. Before Suzanne, we had been through two different teachers, also great, both left the city. Suzanne is the first to have a clear and strong vision as to where to take the girls with their music, and a brilliant understanding of how to teach them. Initially I had ideas about how/what I wanted them to learn, but quickly realised that Suzanne knew exactly what she was doing. The girls have a wonderfully rich, broad and balanced understanding of music, the piano, Music Theory, Sight Reading and different styles/periods of music. It's really important the foundations she has taught them and the good habits she's installed in them. Now, with my oldest, I am starting to see the magic take flight. But perhaps I've felt that after every year with Suzanne. Each year I see huge accomplishments, not just with my kids but at the recitals she hosts, bi-yearly, I've seen her other students equally improve, it's been a pleasure to witness and to be a part of that wider community she's created. In my point of view Suzanne is a serious music teacher who wants to teach children how to be true musicians, teaching them a real skill, skill for life. This means she expects committed students who practice daily and are willing to learn. Suzanne is the loveliest person I've the pleasure to get to know over these years, she is also a brilliant and committed teacher. I highly recommend her ... so long as you don't take my girls time slot.

My son has been studying piano here with various instructors for a little over three years now. I'm…read morevery happy with his progress. In fact, I'm writing this review while he is practicing "Scarborough Fair." He's come a long way since playing early pieces without chords. :) The owner hires excellent instructors. That's one of the advantages of going to a studio instead of trying to find someone on your own. He's had the same main teacher for his whole time here, but every substitute teacher that he's had has been very good with kids. That's another advantage of a studio: weekly lessons whether or not your main instructor can make it. If you want to make progress at an instrument, you need to make a weekly commitment. The system of instruction seems to be well-thought out. I like the main set of piano books that they use, and they also add other types of pieces--jazz, some pop tunes--so that he is learning more than just the classical style. The teachers have also been willing to work with my son's interests. When he expressed an interest in playing Master of Puppets (not my idea ...) and Pinball Wizard, they found suitable music for his level so that he could give the pieces a shot. Everything is really well organized. The shift to online instruction with COVID was handled very well. It's been easy to get online with the music teachers. We also get emails after the lesson detailing what he needs to cover in the following week. I think the class makeup policy is completely fair. It is simply unreasonable to allow students to reschedule classes. For one, there is no space for it in a teacher's schedule, and it is unfair to ask teachers to reserve a couple hours a week for makeup slots that might be filled or might not be filled, effectively denying them compensation for those hours in their week. A teacher should not be robbed of income just because a family can't make a regularly scheduled time slot. And the makeup lessons they do offer are fine--they kept my son on track with his musical development, which is what I really want to see. By the way, this is not just a studio for kids who love to practice and do so without being asked. My son is not always enthusiastic about practicing, but the teachers have done a great job of keeping him motivated and working with him on those days when he hasn't done enough or is feeling a little unmotivated. Also, the studio does a great job of using a rewards system to motivate kids to keep practicing regularly. Getting music lessons can be a tremendous benefit for your child's mind and spirit. If you are thinking about music lessons for your child, but hesitant about the investment, take a look at the research that shows how music benefits cognition, memory, and mood. For a few hundred dollars a month you can potentially help your child get more out of school, as well as open up new worlds of possibility for career and social life. Amabile is a great place to make that happen. Our family is very, very happy with how we have seen our son progress.
