Piano Coaching Application

"My lessons with Don have completely changed my perspective about playing the piano. He is an incredibly talented instructor. He articulates things so wonderfully that it’s really easy to grasp concepts and theories. I couldn’t be more delighted that I am a student of his. My progress has been exponentially better, and quicker than it was previously with a different teacher. Don is truly a delight . I look forward to my Wednesday mornings, and I plan to continue lessons for as long as he’ll keep me."
