Zev

"I don't even know where to start. Emil has taught me so much about music in just a few short years. Every week I improve my piano playing thanks to him. He is not only a great teacher but a great friend as well. His sense of humor can only make things easier each week. I am so grateful I started taking lessons with Emil and can't thank him enough."

Alex

"Not only is Emil a great instructor and a great guy, but he has also instilled in me a love of music and piano. Every week I eagerly await my lesson because I know that it is a time for learning and fun. I am happy with my progress thus far, and am looking forward to progressing steadily in the future. Thanks for everything Emil!"
