Some Former Students I've Taught Over The Years

Larry

"This is something I have always wanted to be able to do. Emil is an incredible instructor with a great benchside manner so that learning is fun and interesting. He seems to coach the notes right off of the keys and into your fingers."

Buki

"Emil is a superb teacher. A Lebanese philosopher (Kahlil Gibran) once said 'The musician may sing to you of the rhythm which is in all space, but he cannot give you the ear which arrests the rhythm nor the voice that echoes it.' Emil has given me the ear."

Julio

"Having Emil as my piano teacher has been great, and my playing is getting better every day."

Marc

"It's a pleasure to learn from Emil. He stresses the importance of playing with a smooth legato and a singing tone. I look forward to making further progress in the months ahead."

Joe

"After a few false starts with other piano teachers, I am finally on my way to learning to play thanks to Emil. He has a great way of making the difficult easy. Each lesson leaves me motivated and increases my confidence."

"Emil is a fabulous teacher! At 29, I had never taken a lesson before, but Emil’s ability to empower the student and build his/her confidence has really paid off! While he takes teaching seriously, his sense of humor always makes the time fly by. Thanks Emil."

I've learned to appreciate that the path of the piano student is about hard work and discipline, but the rewards are great!"
