    • Testimonials

      "Chauncey,

      Thank YOU so much. As a teacher myself, I marveled at the way in which you connected with both our daughters, drew out their personalities and encouraged them to push themselves. You are an incredible teacher and we look forward to continuing lessons with you."

      Testimonials

      Testimonials

      "Chauncey,

      My wife and I want to personally thank you for the amazing job that you have done thus far with the piano lessons provided to our daughter Samarah. Each week we can see her confidence build as she plays. This is attributed to how you not only deliver the lessons with passion, superb energy and humor, but it comes with the challenge of delivering the lessons remotely during these challenging times. I can't tell you how great it is that you let her go at her own pace and remain upbeat with her at every lesson. We see the excitement in her and she LOVES to play what she has learned to our family, especially at times from memory. I am glad she has taken to piano so much and I thank you for your part in that."
