Meritt http://potluckcreativearts.com/2011/06/susan-on-simply-music-piano-lessons/ I have always wanted to learn how to play the piano and the Simply Music lessons are helping me achieve that dream faster than I anticipated. The lessons are presented in a clear, easy to follow and understand format. It is very rewarding to be able to sit down and play a song using both hands. Being successful motivates you to continue. I am enjoying the lessons and each week I look forward to the next one.

[Mark has a] pleasant and friendly personality. He is always encouraging and patient. He does a good job explaining the lessons and giving us suggestions on how we can improve our playing.

Meritt http://potluckcreativearts.com/2011/04/greta-on-simply-music-piano-lessons/ I’ve enjoyed all my lessons because of the “playing-based” approach (I took traditional reading-based piano lessons for many years) and because of the improvisation and composition assignments.

I like Mark’s promptness, his enthusiasm, his support, his flexibility and the fact that he is always so well prepared.

Meritt http://potluckcreativearts.com/2011/01/robin-on-simply-music-lessons/ These lessons surprised me. When I started, I was skeptical that someone my age could learn to play. My expectations have been surpassed by a factor of 10.

[Mark] is focused, patient, intelligent, encouraging and persistent. In addition he is an enthusiastic, skilled musician. Nothing could be better from my teacher.
