Music Lesson Reviews from Students
Students are raving about their Music instructors on TakeLessons. Check out some of these recent reviews.
Review by Debbie
"Victoria was a good choice to get my child off the ground in her piano instruction. She helped give my daughter confidence (which is saying something, as
my daughter is a perfectionist and therefore very insecure) through her friendly, patient approach. Though I had higher expectations with regards to disciplines like posture, proficiency development through things like scales/arpeggios/drills, or development of sight reading, as I had in my own musical upbringing (though I practiced under one of the top violin instructors in Seattle) I'm nonetheless grateful to have started the first few years of beginner lessons to give my child sheer enjoyment of music performance, as Victoria clearly has a love for music herself. I'm also very grateful that she was willing to drive all over Austin to meet in homes, as that was invaluable for my schedule. Thanks a lot, Victoria!"

"Lillian is patient, kind, positive, and careful to combine theory with practical teaching. As an older student, just learning piano, I learned more from
her in one lesson than the five lessons I took before. She is excellent. I have hope now that I can learn piano."

About Rob
I'm a professional bass player in Austin Texas, the Live Music Capital of the World. At one time or another I've played just about every style of music, and I have more than a decade of teaching experience. I love 'opening doors' for students, helping them understand how music works and how they can sound better than ever. I graduated from B.I.T. in Los Angeles and I have thousands of hours of teaching, gigging, and recording experience. I'll share that experience with you!

I like to use real music to show how technical concepts work. Once I've gotten to know you and your musical goals and preferences, I'll point you towards the knowledge you need, and show you how that knowledge works in the music you like.

Rob's lesson format is pretty open. If you have specific questions/goals, Rob makes sure that they are addressed. He's been able to give me some great information on various techniques and styles, and I've picked up a good bit of general practical bass knowledge this way.
Rob is VERY knowledgeable about music theory, and its evolution over the centuries. That being said, discussions on music theory are always made relevant to bass playing. This makes learning the theory and patterns very practical, and for me, more approachable.
Thanks Rob!

Adam has been a great teacher and exactly the sort of professional and understanding person I was looking for. While I don't think my mediocre (getting better every week) guitar skills are the best testament to Adam's ability as a teacher, I think the fact that he has encouraged me to stick with it and turn a crazy idea into a legitimate hobby is.

About Rand
Hello, My name is Rand, a born and raised Texan with a lot of family in the music scene in Austin. I hold a Bachelor's of Science degree in Sound Recording Technology from Texas State University's School of Music in San Marcos. Years ago I was in such mentorship programs as HOSTS and Best Buddies. These days, I do freelance Audio Engineering and have always done teaching as a side job, starting with teaching my younger cousins.
I'm not like other teachers you've had. My passion is evident, my methods are fresh out of what University Music Schools are teaching today, and the results speak for themselves....
Hope to hear from you soon, I find teaching to be a fun and rewarding experience and do my best to make clients feel the same!!

Hello, and thank you so much for checking out my profile! I've been teaching private voice lessons for 14 years, starting in Boulder, CO, then NYC for several years, and now here in Austin, TX!
I perform and record, BUT my true passion lies in creating exciting, empowering and uplifting experiences in singing and the performing arts! While I'm skilled and experienced in teaching all levels, I particularly enjoy working with children and novice singers, supporting them in developing the confidence and technique they need to fully sing the songs they love, audition for that part in the school or community play - or even take it further, really making music and voice their life!

intimate instrument, in that it is within us... and it's my job to help you learn to fully use, and fall in love with your own, unique and amazing instrument!!!

We first worked together as back up singers for a professional theater show years ago and she was knowledgeable, talented, accurate, kind, and fun!!!!
I am also I professional vocalist and teacher based in Miami Florida, and Boulder Colorado and recently I was lucky enough to shadow Chantel through one of her choir camps learning from her experience.
I was moved and totally impressed by the VERY IMPORTANT work she does supporting the self esteem of young women she works with!!!! As well creating a very entertaining and beautiful performance.

About Travis
Hey guys! My name is Travis, and I have been not only teaching private music lessons for 10 years but been playing in touring rock bands for almost as long. If you want to hear me play, look up This Day Forth on any platform.
My main objective with students is to help them realize their personal love for music. I believe lessons should be fun, not stuffy, full of laughter, not tears and most importantly harmonious with you own life style.
No two students learn in the same way, so it is my prerogative to find out how YOU learn best and adapt to make it fun for YOU.
