Just had my first lesson with Julie. She was great! So energetic, fun, and personable. It’s obvious she’s a seasoned educator who knows her subject. I left our first meeting confident I had chosen a teacher who will help me achieve my goals. Can’t wait to flourish under her instruction!

LOVE. LOVE. LOVE Julie. First off, she really knows her stuff. Second, she is incredibly supportive, encouraging and patient. She knows how to work with a student's strengths and weaknesses to bring out their best. She is also fun and has a warmth that makes her a pleasure to learn with.

Julie is top notch! She is a great educator and works to find what her students like to play and let’s them explore that while making sure they have broad exposure to many music styles. She is extremely organized and efficient and the kids love her. Choosing Julie was the best decision we made for our son. He has grown so much musically under her teaching.

I am one of Julie’s adult students, and have been taking piano lessons with her for just under a year and a half. She has helped me so much and I’m so glad I found her.

Before finding Julie, I had been playing for about six months on my own with very slow improvement and no understanding of music theory. Julie has helped increase my understanding of music theory, encouraged me to play in public with confidence, and helped me learn pieces I never thought I would ever be able to play.

Julie has a very nice and warm personality and I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a piano teacher.

Ensures the child is playing things that appeal while still grounding in classics. Sensitive to the student's progress and keeps the material aligned with achievable goals. Stays connected emotionally, with regular praise and rewards. So glad we found Julie!

Julie is a fantastic teacher. She takes the time to get to know the child and encourages them to be their best. She is very patient and kind - you will not find a better tutor for your child. Thanks to her efforts, my daughter was on the Honor Roll with a 98% in Math. I highly recommend Julie as her passion for teaching and her approach with children is top notch.

To start piano lessons when you're 72 was challenging. But Julie is so amazing that it has been the one of best things I've done. She's just great. She's happy and her lessons carry over that happiness. I'll never be her best student but she makes you feel like you are. I look forward to seeing her each week.

Julie is the best piano instructor my boys have had. Her theory based teaching has them learning pieces in record time - and her approach to theory isn't boring. They can now hear a song on the radio, recognize the chords and improvise on their own. She is engaging, encouraging and willing to explore the type of music they enjoy. She adapts her instruction methods based on individual personalities. Your child will not just learn to play piano, they will learn to appreciate music, composers and acquire knowledge that will assist in any instrument they play.

Julie is wonderful! I'm an adult student who has been working with her for about a year. I took voice lessons from childhood through college, then life took over and I pretty much stopped singing. When I decided I wanted to get back into it again, I contacted Julie. I was nervous, but she put me at ease right away. This past year working with her has been so much fun. She helped me prepare for choral auditions, and I got accepted to sing with the Vanderbilt Community Chorus. We pick the repertoire together, so I'm never working on something I'm not interested in. She has helped me master my breathing technique and discover a richer and freer tone. I highly recommend her!

Julie has an amazing way to bring out the best in her students. She is patient, yet firm...always pushing one to the next level.
My daughter's singing ability & passion for practice have blossomed under Julie's guidance. We really are so happy someone in our community recommended her to us!

Love, love, LOVE Ms Lopez! She's truly passionate about the art that is music. i learn something new every class and after just a few lessons I already see my growth as a vocalist. I feel so blessed and fortunate to have found her!

LOOK NO FURTHER! :)

Julie is an excellent teacher and professional. Her knowledge base is incredible; she absolutely is a master. She knows exactly how to reach my 5-year-old and my 11-year-old, and teach them where they are. She stretches them, and it is amazing to see how far they've come in just a short while. Julie teaches them piano in a multitude of ways: they listen, they play, they move, they sing, they read, they study, they write. It's so much more than just sitting at the piano and playing notes. My children are learning to MAKE MUSIC and it is a beautiful thing. I'm very happy we found Julie Lopez.

We love Julie! I have a degree in music and used to teach guitar so I know what to expect from a good teacher. Julie is wonderful! She is organized, professional, knowledgeable and (most importantly) a good communicator with our children. Our son was never into piano lessons with previous teachers. After switching to Julie, he actually like piano lessons. Our daughter is very driven and loves piano which she has been studying for years now. Julie also excels in pushing her at a much higher level. It's nice to have a teacher who can push the advanced student as well as inspire the early student. She has even started voice lessons with our son who loves every minute of his lesson. We can't praise Julie enough. Quit looking for other teachers and hire Julie!

Julie is teaching my son to play the piano for a couple of months now. He absolutely loves her and her teaching technique. He was playing short songs from day one. His dad and I are impressed with his progress. If you are looking for a great teacher, we would definitely recommend Julie.

Julie is not only a pleasure to work with, but is attentive to the needs of her students. She will take into consideration the progress her student wishes to make, and will push them to explore a variety of techniques that may be outside their comfort zone. Julie is a lovely person and an excellent teacher. Very highly recommended.

My 12-yr old daughter had a great first lesson. Julie was just right in every way with starting from the beginning, music selection, everything. My daughter had been nervous because she has no experience and is shy, but Julie made her feel very comfortable right off the bat. Looking forward to the next lesson!

My daughter's first lesson was "just a trial"... to see if she could handle the instruction. Julie was exceptionally professional and encouraging while navigating constructive criticism (of our sensitive vocalist). Excellent interaction and guidance as well as "Mom to Mom" direction on specific skill-set/practice tools. We're thrilled to have had Julie as our first encounter at "Takelessons.com" - she's an asset to the instructional community and now (if she can put up with us) our family! Thank you Miss Julie. :)

Julie is a fantastic teacher - makes learning fun and fast - very encouraging and makes the lesson enjoyable as well as educational! A rare and talented teacher who is able to convey sometimes difficult concepts in a very easy to understand and comprehend manner! I have never been so motivated and excited to learn something and I eagerly look forward to my lessons each week with Julie!

Best teacher I ever had. I've been around a long time and through all my years of school, she's the best teacher I've ever had. She continues to structure lessons to fit my skill level and has for the three years I taken from her. I have learned not only about how to play the piano, but about music, about appreciating music. She's always upbeat, always stays the correct amount of time, and I am always inspired during a lesson, to become the best piano player I can, even at my advanced age and with a clear lack of talent.

I have been taking my teenage daughter to Julie's house for the past several weeks now, my daughter looks forward to working with Julie, no prompting from me and this is helping her find her own "identity". A positive experience for both of us. Many, many thanks Julie!

Julie is a professional Instructor who quickly identifies the level of her students. 

Her energy and sense of humor are contagious and stimulating. 

When we laugh we increase endorphin in our brain which helps us to remember what we learn. 

Thank you Julie for instruction and the pleasure of learning. :)

Julie is the BEST!! I took lessons as a child, but had not taken any lessons in over 10 years when I first began lessons with Julie. Almost immediately she was able to help me recall everything I had learned when I was younger. Very knowledgeable and encouraging, makes each lesson a joy! Highly recommended for those who are serious about learning the piano (or anything else I'm sure!).

Great Motavator!!

Julie is our first experience with a piano teacher. She has been instructing my somewhat shy 6 year old for about 9 months now. She is amazing with my daughter. She is very encouraging and stays right on her level while pushing her to expand her knowledge in music. I couldn't be more pleased in our first experience. Julie even had my daughter performing in front of an audience just 4 months after her first lesson. A memory my child will have forever.

Great Singing Coach

Julie has been wonderful to me. She is honest and is full of energy which is contagious. I have always wanted to learn how to sing and I am still nervous before each lesson but Julie sets my mind at ease and makes my lessons fun. She has given me the encouragement that I needed to be brave enough to tackle this. I would recommend Julie to anyone who was ready to take the leap and go for it.

Singing Lessons

Julie has been a wonderful voice instructor for my son. He looks forward to his lessons and always learns something new and benefical to improve his singing technique. She is very professional and also makes it fun to learn. I highly recommend her.
