“He plays such obviously complicated pieces, then breaks them down to show me how I'll learn it, and he's able to effect much confidence in myself with his attitude that reflects no doubt that I can learn everything he knows. I believe that because he's both very comfortable to learn from and highly expectant of my weekly progress, I've become more skilled than I thought I would have been in such a short time. His instruction is beneficial to other areas of my everyday life and I'm grateful to have found the right instructor.”
