Being young and inattentive, my daughter can be quite challenging but Ms. Larisa can get through to her. Her techniques work very well and she always takes into consideration the individual abilities and learning styles of her students. Her rates are very reasonable and she makes full use of their sessions all the time. No time is ever wasted. We take lessons three times per week and my daughter is always very excited to see her. More than teaching the skill, Ms. Larisa also develops her students' love of learning piano.

Our daughter did piano classes with Move over Mozart and after 1 1/2 she still couldn't play a song! In a month our daughter started to play Fur Elise and great Disney songs!

The most important part of this is the teaching is one on one so she gives her full attention to her student and makes sure the student understands learning piano.

I studied with Mr. Norman Ortiz for nearly a decade from about mid elementary school to senior year…read moreof High School. I met periodically for a handful of lessons for critique and tips on a few pieces I was learning on my own. Mr. Norman is an absolute artist, perfectionist, and has the upmost passion for piano. I used to take lessons with another teacher prior with studying with Mr. Norman and the differences were night and day. Not only does Mr. Norman teach you theory and technique, but he also puts the upmost importance on the dynamics of music: how you should be bringing out the "music" in music. Each piece has its own story to tell. Listening to his students play in recitals compared to other students from different teachers it was easy to point out which students belonged to Mr. Norman because they had the ability to play musically compared to the many robotic students looking to only play the correct notes in a piece. He also has incredible patience. Geez la-weez does he have patience. If I had put myself in his shoes and had to teach me, I probably would have abandoned myself to teach. I was an unhealthily shy individual who was very difficult to communicate with. He stuck by me and started to break me out of my shell by being social with me. I still remember him singing boldly loud while playing, actively making himself look foolish to try to break me out of my shell. He will also select pieces that you want to play so that you stay interested ( so long as it's not another pop culture song. These songs do not do much for the student in bettering themselves as a pianist in comparison to more Classical pieces. ) If you do get the chance to study with Mr. Norman, please do not be like me and not fully extract the teachings from him. He is priceless in what he can teach you. My brother and I still play the piano in our free time today. The ability to sit down, tune out the stresses of your daily life, and to lose yourself by making music from the tip of your fingers is beyond therapeutic. Because of Mr. Norman, my brother and I are able to bring life from notes, to evoking emotion from listeners, and even more importantly, ourselves while we play.

My daughter (14yo) has been taking lessons from Mr. Ortiz for three years. Prior to that, she had…read moreseven years of lessons. She plays advanced classical repertoire. Mr. Ortiz has many outstanding qualities as a teacher. He pinpoints weaknesses in technique and works closely with students to strengthen their technique. My daughter's technique has improved dramatically. Also, Mr. Ortiz's approach has guided my daughter's independent musicality. He doesn't insist that my daughter play a piece with his interpretation, as I've seen many teachers do. At lessons, he's asked her to play a passage several different ways, and he's shown her other artists' interpretations, then he leaves it up to her. She is fully engaged and invested in not just replicating a piece but in developing her own interpretive style. He has also helped her prepare pieces for festivals and Certificate of Merit, and she has been well prepared. My daughter has been insecure about memorizing, and Mr. Ortiz has helped her develop strategies for securing memory, like analyzing the piece's form and transposing to multiple keys. Lastly, Mr. Ortiz is a kind teacher. It's clear that he enjoys his students. He meets them where they are at. If they don't understand something, he patiently comes at it from a different angle. We think he is a gem in the world of classical piano.

Our daughter's language ability dramatically increased once she started the classes and she was singing along with her favorite songs in no time. A year later, we are still enjoying weekly classes, now held online due to the shelter in place. The online sessions have been amazing. My daughter loves seeing the teachers and follows the dance movements, singing along with the songs and "playing her instruments". I admit I'm not a fan of most children's songs, but the music together collections sound great and are really fun to listen to (they provide a new collection every couple of months). Overall, I can't recommend this program enough, it's very affordable and worth every penny.
