“Harold has been an exceptional piano teacher for our children, and we couldn’t be more grateful for him and his approach. His unique ability to connect with each student and foster their individual growth is truly remarkable. Harold exhibits incredible patience and gentleness, creating a nurturing environment where learning flourishes. Despite his gentle demeanor, Harold demonstrates a mastery of teaching that inspires both confidence and enthusiasm in his students. We’ve witnessed growth not only technically but also in their expression and love for music. If you’re looking for a piano teacher who blends expertise with heartfelt teaching, Harold is the perfect choice. It is impossible to recommend him highly enough.”

“Over the past ten years, Harold has helped our son develop a love and appreciation for music. We have learned piano performance requires an emotional connection to the music, dynamic engagement of the keys, pedals, and of course rhythmic accuracy. Harold’s methods teach this and more, in a friendly and collaborative manner. We are so happy to have been introduced early to Harold’s studio and our son will enjoy piano throughout his life.”

“Harold is an excellent piano teacher. In my early 50’s, I called him and said I’ve wanted to learn to play the piano all my life. I shared that I couldn’t carry a tune and have no natural rhythm. Would you work with someone like me? He was positive and reassuring that he could teach me. Harold teaches in a positive, patient, inspiring manner. He is playful, uses humor and corrects in such a way that I only felt encouraged to continue practicing. I’ve also referred several younger students to him who were new to the piano or were on the verge of quitting altogether because they had overly critical teachers. These students flourished under Harold’s kindness in teaching.”

“Harold has been an exceptional and inspiring teacher for my kids and me over the past 6 years. His patience, passion, clear and creative instruction, strong problem-solving skills, and ability to tailor lessons to individual needs and goals make each session both effective and enjoyable. Beyond teaching, Harold is one of the most compassionate people I know. We’re so grateful for the fun, growth, and lifelong love of music we’ve found under his guidance! We also love attending the recitals and witnessing the impressive progress of all his students.”
