My 5 year old daughter has been taking piano lessons with Aric in Sep 2012. Before enrolling her in Phoenix Music Lessons I went to several places and observed the interaction of the teachers with such a young student. I chose PML for 3 main re sons: (1) Piano Method - I find Piano Adventures the best method for young children to teach music and beginning piano; (2) Teacher - Aric is a very patient and effective teacher. He has the ability to engage both kids and parents; and (3) Location - the studio is centrally located and close to school. My daughter enjoys the piano classes, but most importantly, is learning to love, feel, and understand music. This is most important to to us at this juncture in her development. All the teachers in the studio are very professional, enjoy teaching, and have a good rapport with all their students. We are very pleased with PML.
