Celebrating Two Decades of Making Beautiful Music

Melissa Gerr on April 06, 2017

My daughter enjoyed her lessons with Scott. It was a low-stress experience for her, which is what we were looking for.
I wanted her to enjoy playing and not worry or feel like she was in trouble if she didn’t have enough time to practice.Scott responds to messages quickly and is very thorough in his communication with families. He is punctual and dependable.

Deborah Feldman

Scott was recommended to me by my sister in law and we have never been disappointed. Scott is kind and patient and is extremely accommodating to your schedule. In this post COVID world, we do  remote tutoring, but Scott has been willing to open his home for us on occasion. My son started as a teen after self teaching from an adult piano course workbook and Scott made music book recommendations that encouraged my son to learn new and interesting music. I'd recommend Scott for any student, any age. The recital at the end of the year is always a treat. Cant wait til he can accommodate one in person.

Kezzy B

My six-year-old son took piano lessons from Mr. Scott for about six months, and we got a great experience. Mr. Scott is patient and very flexible about our schedule. I highly recommend it!

Lauren Krach

Scott was a wonderful piano teacher for my five-year-old daughter. She didn't always help him teach her, but he's always patient and inspiring. She has made great progress. I highly recommend using his services.

Asia S. Gilliam

Mr. Scott is an experienced teacher, patient and carefully educating his students. Our daughter has achieved great success, and our 4-year-old child is also starting to play the piano. We appreciate Mr. Scott and strongly recommend him to parents who need his services.
