"Our son is 7 years old and started drum lessons with Yuichi several months ago. My son absolutely loves his classes with Yuichi and would go more than on
ce a week if he could. We are very happy with Yuichi. He makes the lesson fun and interesting for our son, and at the same time teaching him what he needs to know so he continues to make progress. He is a great match for our son."

Matthew is great at breaking down the information you need in to manageable chunks. One of my goals is to be able to
read music and I am already doing well a few lessons in. Starting music lessons at 36 was a little intimidating but Matthew makes it easy with great instruction. He really knows his stuff!"

I followed singing lessons in Belgium, in Italy and had at least 7 teachers before, but only Andrea could explain
me in a way I could understand how our voice works. She is patience, very well informed and trained. She looks at you as a person and adapts her teaching to your person.
I followed lessons for almost a year and if I would still live in the US, I would still continue. In that year I made an incredible improvement, for which I am very grateful. Don't miss the chance to have Andrea as a teacher!"
