My 17 year old son has been taking piano lessons from Michael for the last 6 years. Michael has taken my son from a beginner intermediate to an advanced pianist. Michael really makes sure his students understand the music and has a tremendous passion for teaching. Michael and Marta Pistiner have always been very gracious and welcoming. They routinely go above and beyond in setting up rehearsals and making them special occasions for everyone. I highly recommend taking piano lessons from Michael no matter if you are a beginner or advanced.
