Michael works wonderfully with our 6 year old. I was initially unsure if our son was ready to learn music from a theory and performance angle, but Michael truly presents the information in a fun and learnable format for our young son.

~ Zachary Barnett

Mr. Danny and Mr. Michael have been extremely professional and knowledgeable in their ability to teach and to connect with my son to advance his understanding of piano and music.
~ Thomas Tinneny

When I started I knew little about the piano. Now 6 months later and I can play songs and do solos that I would have never been able to do without this academy's help.
~ Anthony Marrero

My 11 year old son has gained skill and confidence in piano and beyond. It is a great springboard for any future musical endeavors.
