Organ Lessons in Newton. Amazing Teachers.

Excellent job and I am looking forward to my son having more lessons

We went with online piano lessons at the moment due to COVID, but I was nervous about the format as the lessons are for my five-year-old daughter, so I was concerned the additional technology would be an impediment. Dr. Merkel was wonderful. He was friendly and encouraging to my daughter, ensuring she knew she could ask any questions she might have at any point. He absolutely made the technology work for us, and my daughter learned more than I would have thought possible in 30 minutes. She is counting down to her next lesson!

Very knowledgeable. My daughter enjoy learning from him.

Very passionate about piano and able to convey ideas.. also very good at feeling out what student is seeking to achieve. Definitely recommend Paul if you are wanting to take playing piano as a serious endeavor

My experience with this teacher was horrible. Paul has no patience for a child that might not pay attention as much as necessary. He has forgotten what it is to be a child or how to win over a child and make a lesson fun.
My child had one previous lesson with Paul. It is true that she was not following his directions and his frustration was quite obvious.
On my second visit I was appalled by Paul’s behavior. Again my child wouldn’t sit down on the bench correctly. Verbatim this what occurred next, I quote: “This is not going to work out. Get out of my house NOW, NOW!(Screaming, like I was going to prolong this). I have better things to do than waste my time with your daughter. I don’t want to take your money.

It is true that my daughter can be difficult when approached in an authoritarian manner. However, my daughter is not yet six and Paul brought my daughter to tears. Surely this behavior was at best inappropriate and says more about the person Paul is than about my daughter. A simple “ May I have word with you in private” would be a mature way to part company. Not throwing a 6 year out of your house because you are frustrated. I was horribly offended by his manner and attitude. No way to treat a 6 year old.

This man has no patience with young kids. I would stay away from this teacher unless your child has some experience with piano. Definitely not child friendly.
Normally I do not post reviews unless something extraordinary happens This is one of those: extraordinarily bad.
An apology is in order if this poor excuse for a “teacher” has any understanding of the unnecessary hurt he has caused.

My daughter really enjoys taking lessons from Benjamin. Not only is he extremely talented, but he is an excellent teacher. He goes out of his way to make her feel comfortable with her abilities. I highly recommend to anyone seeking lessons to give Benjamin a try.

Benjamin is a great Piano teacher. He is very patient with his students and always goes above and beyond to help them learn to the best of their ability. I would greatly recommend him to anyone looking to take piano lessons.

Benjamin is an excellent piano teacher. He is very patient and challenges my son weekly. My son loves taking from him. I recommend Benjamin to everyone!

Lawrence has a fantastic personality and is very knowledgeable and patient. I very much look forward to taking more lessons with him.

Very personable and seems to be a good fit with our 6 year old. Were looking forward to our next lesson.

Very good instructor.

Glenda is very patient and understanding. I am learning quite a bit from her. I enjoy working with her.
Margaret Jacobs

She is incredible, just a wonderful person to talk to and an amazing teacher, I can’t wait for my next lesson with her

Kenny helped me make real progress on the Hammond organ, I would not be playing at my church without his knowledge and guidance. Take a Lesson was a great find I would recommend It to anyone wanting to learn or improve their skills.

Love Kenny, he is excellent with children.

He is perfect and already has me enthusiastic and playing...i couldn't be happier.
