    My 3 kids were so lucky to have Dr. Joshua G. as their piano teacher. He has PHD in music, the best credentials you could wish for a teacher. Dr. Joshua has been teaching my kids for over six years now. The kids are now playing amazing piano. Kudos to Joshua!

    Doctor Joshua has been instructing my 2 grandsons in piano at their home for many years. They are both excellent pianists, especially the 14 year old. Doctor Joshua lets them choose modern songs relevant to them and has written music for them to play. He also has recitals for his students and has had them play at the Royal Winnipeg Ballet pre-show. Their confidence has soared. I have been at my son’s home many times when my grandsons are taking their lessons and am very impressed at how Doctor Joshua is with both of them, he is very encouraging.
