"Joseph has been a great teacher for the 6 years he's been teaching me, and I’ve learned a lot since I started taking lessons. He explains things in a simple but comprehensive way that makes it easy to understand. The lessons are always helpful to work on band and audition music, and I feel like I’m getting better every week.”

“Joseph was my saxophone teacher in high school, from about sophomore year to the beginning of my senior year! I reached out to him to help me audition for the symphonic band and get me ready, and he did just that. He was patient, personable, and very kind. He taught me many techniques to improve my tone and abilities that I still use to this day! And he emphasized always focusing on the fundamentals, because that is where the real skills stem from. Without Joseph’s teachings

"As a parent, it's amazing to watch your student go from barely knowing a note to playing first chair in their high school clarinet section. Joseph helped our young musician do just that! He is patient, responsive, and makes learning fun. He makes suggestions to the parents on music and items helpful to keep the student engaged and moving forward. We never have to push our student to get ready for their lesson, they enjoy playing and learning with Joseph.”

"I’ve had the privilege of learning to play the clarinet with Joe for the past two years, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better teacher. He is of incredibly patience always taking the time to explain things clearly and encourage growth at every step. No matter how challenging something seemed, they made it feel achievable with their calm and supportive approach. His reliability and dedication really stand out—he consistently show up prepared, invested, and genuinely co

"I’ve been working a lot lately on my Snare chops and I’m really starting to see a lot of the things that you’ve told me come together and make sense, and I’ve enjoyed often just jamming a little bit on my pad at home almost every day. Thank you so much for teaching me, and I’m excited to put all the advice you gave me with percussion together and use them to help me throughout my fun music making."

"One of the things that made you stand out from the other techs I’ve experienced was your persona and how positive you were. I know for a fact that without your positivity, I wouldn’t have done all region and even ever learned my solo! You pushed me to be great, and I very much appreciate you for doing so!"

"Alex took my very reluctant 9 year old son and turned him into a kid who really enjoys learning piano and appreciates music. Highly recommend!"

"Working with Kiki was absolutely a delight. She was always pushing us to be better musicians and to focus on even the smallest details. She could be tough on us when she needed to, but even when she was tough, we could still count on her smile and cheerful attitude. Kiki is also incredibly capable, and I think I speak for the whole choir when I say that we could see the skill, dedication, and passion she put into being a good leader and musician."

"Alex is doing a great job in teaching! He encourages my grandson so much that he practices everyday when he gets up in the morning, and again after school. He looks forward every week to coming to see Alex for his piano lesson!"

"Alex is super patient and has taught me a lot about music theory! I was afraid I could not learn much, but now with Alex’s help I can play a few songs and read music much better! Adults can really learn to play the guitar with patient and skilled teachers like Alex!"
