Piano Lessons Testimonials

"John O’Keefe’s piano program is fresh and engaging. As a parent, it was such a joy to find this program because two previous programs failed to interest my daughter. The students have options and access to music they like. The lessons emphasize technical training mixed with familiar tunes and, my daughter’s favorite, the option to use digital accompaniment. We enjoy hearing the full sounds and the ear training that comes in the process.

Mr. O’Keefe’s program concentrates on how the music resonates with each student. As a result, the piano recitals are pure entertainment for all – a wonderful blend of music – from pop, to jazz, classical, rock ‘n roll and new age – which not only showcases the piano’s versatility in any music genre, but also the unique artistic expression of every student.
Mr. O’Keefe’s gentle encouragement mixed with appropriate expectations instills confidence. I don’t drag my daughter to a piano lesson – she is very comfortable and relaxed with Mr. O’Keefe’s approach and is not discouraged by mistakes along the way."

I highly recommend John O’Keefe’s piano program to any parent who wants making beautiful music a joy.

"At John O’Keefe Music Studio my daughter thoroughly enjoys learning to play the piano. The comforts of an in home studio make for a relaxing setting which eased my daughter into her first music lessons. Throughout her three and a half years here she has transpired into a young pianist that truly enjoys playing music.

The studios up-to-date equipment has benefited my daughter in many ways. She has gained valuable knowledge through computerized equipment that accompanies her in learning music and special techniques for her piano lessons. John O’Keefe, my daughter’s piano instructor, has taught my daughter many great skills and continues to do so with his vast knowledge and expertise in computers and electronics. John is an admirable instructor.
John O’Keefe is patient yet firm in his teachings. He works with my child on an individual basis making sure the lesson he is teaching is understood before continuing. John’s suggestions for struggling areas in the lessons have always prevailed. Clear understanding is most important for self-gratification which builds my daughters confidence. Her level of confidence is most evident when she is performing at piano recitals. John has taught my daughter to take pride in her hard work.

John O’Keefe Music Studio has been and continues to be an excellent learning experience for my daughter. The knowledge my daughter has gained through John’s teachings is just the beginning of valuable lessons in her life. Thanks to John’s dedication in teaching, my daughter has learned to truly love music and the piano."

"As an adult beginner, John has taught me more in a year and a half than I ever thought I could learn. It is great fun to look back and see my progression. He focuses my attention on the 2 or 3 things each week that will most dramatically improve my playing. He is very encouraging and provides the right balance of explanation and demonstration as needed. I like the variety of music that he recommends for me, while still emphasizing the type of music that I enjoy the most. His individual customization of lessons makes learning the piano fun and something that I look forward to each week. I so appreciate that he enable’s me to do something that I have wanted to do all my life and finally have an opportunity to do!"
