Testimonials

“Even with the hundreds of hours I have spent learning this piece over 40 years, I think I have today literally doubled my understanding, thanks to you!”

— Jonathan Pavluk (Rachmaninoff Prelude Op. 32, No. 13)

“I watched the video while examining your charts. Your depth of learning, coupled with your unique perspectives, demonstrates wisdom. You got into Grieg’s brain. I am amazed by the rich patterns you found in this ‘simple’ piece and then created multiple views to anchor our experience and learning.”

— Roger Ward (Grieg: Arietta)

“It is unbelievable how much difference it makes to the speed of memorizing and understanding this (and other pieces) by simply giving names to sections as in this video.”

— Roman Blanks (Bach Invention No. 2)

“Your charts are magnificent. A work of art. Thank you for your years of dedication to these tools that help us to break down the complexity of such a piece as this.”

— Jim Letizia (Kreisler-Rachmaninoff Liebesleid)

“The only person who seems to know how to explain the music not just tell you how to play it. Phenomenal work, only complaint is I wish this was a private lesson x3”

— @ChewyTwee (Chopin Etude Op. 10, No. 3 “Tristesse”)

“You have succeeded in conveying the love and passion for music. My 7 year old boy admires you too... You are very loved here in Belgium.”

— @freddus777, Belgium (Liebesleid)

“An hour and 45 minute great lesson...for free. Most teachers I’ve seen charge 200 for an hour, or more. You’re so kind and generous!”

— @Adam_Pianist (Chopin Etude Op. 10, No. 3 “Tristesse”)
