Tal is a wonderful music teacher and I could not recommend him more! I’ve been taking piano lessons for a few months now and have seen tremendous improvement in my playing. Tal actually cares about your progress and works to help you grow as a musician. As a young adult with limited music experience, Tal has taken the time to craft lessons to fit my skill level. Don’t be afraid to jump in if you are worried about how much music background you have. Tal is extremely patient and tailors lessons for you!
I’m new to playing the piano so I was nervous to take my first lesson today, but Tal was the most perfect instructor. He’s extremely kind and professional, and creates a laidback and comfortable environment to make mistakes and learn. He taught at a great pace, and made the whole experience informative and enjoyable. You can tell he is well-versed in playing the piano and teaching others to play. I look forward to continuing lessons with him. I couldn’t recommend him enough!
I’m in my mid-twenties with very little music experience, so I was nervous starting piano lessons. Tal made everything simple and fun, explaining concepts clearly and keeping me motivated. He’s easy to communicate and schedule with, which fits well with my busy life. In just a few weeks, I’ve made great progress and am already playing recognizable songs from my book, including one by Mozart! Highly recommend for adult beginners looking for a patient and encouraging teacher.
