"My son has been taking lessons with Sydney since last fall. We have found her to be an incredibly dedicated and thorough instructor. It’s amazing how much progress he has made in just this short period of time. He loves the lessons and learning about all the great composers. We highly recommend."

"My very active 8 year old finds playing piano with Andrew to be both fun and challenging. Andrew is excellent at working with younger elementary school students, and really makes the process of learning a new instrument enjoyable. "

“ Sydney has done more than my last 3 piano teachers - she makes the music FUN and she is teaching the joy and appreciation of music which is much more than just learning to play. She is able to see my kids as individuals and teach them each in a way that deeply resonates with them personally.”

"Absolutely thrilled with the progress our son has made under the guidance of Sydney over the past year. Her patience, expertise, and engaging teaching style have not only nurtured a love for the piano in him but also significantly improved his confidence and skill level. We highly recommend Sydney to any parent looking to introduce their child to the joy of music!"

"Sydney is an incredible voice teacher. After a year of instruction, both in person and virtual, it is clear my voice has grown exponentially. Sydney is extremely thoughtful in her approach, creating warm ups and exercises that target hyper specific areas of growth or weaknesses unique to me. She is so warm and supportive and I’ve grown so much as a singer and vocalist especially in technique. Highly recommend."

"We worked with another piano teacher before Sydney, and my only wish is that we found her sooner! Sydney was immediately engaging with my young son and continues to make lessons fun and appropriately challenging. She is an extremely patient and dedicated piano teacher, and my son has learned so much from her. Now my younger child is asking to start piano lessons with Sydney too!"

"Andrew is an excellent teacher who makes learning to play the piano a truly enjoyable experience. He patiently and clearly breaks down concepts into manageable steps, ensuring I feel comfortable with each new skill. His encouragement and ability to tailor lessons to my pace, as a new beginner, have helped me gain more confidence and see steady progress."
