What are students are saying

Chris Magallon has been my piano teacher for about 15 years. He has instructed me as an older adult starting beginner lessons over age 63. He uses the Nancy and Randall Faber lesson, theory, and performance level books. Thus, I have learned a wide variety of music including classical, traditional, ragtime, and jazz.

I loved that he has exposed me to so many different genres of music along with the history of each piece of Music and its Composers.

Christmas we always work on learning and playing Christmas music including both religious and traditional songs. Chris is a kind, encouraging, and patient person always attuned to how I learn!

I have been taking piano lessons from Chris for over 3 years. As an adult learner, I am so thankful to find a teacher who is so knowledgeable, patient, and kind. I so appreciate how he encourages me and also works so carefully through some of the challenges I experience in my learning. His expertise in both the artistic and technical components of learning the skill is helping me understand the magic of the keys.

I am writing to highly recommend Chris as a piano instructor. Chris has been teaching my son, Jason, for the past 15 years, guiding him from a complete beginner to an advanced pianist.This progress is a direct result of Chris’s patience, effective teaching techniques, and positive attitude.

Piano is a challenging instrument to master, and it takes an exceptional teacher to develop a great student. Chris is exactly that person.

I highly recommend Chris for both beginners and advanced players alike.

I inherited an old piano, and for many years it largely served as a shelf for potted plants.I had absolutely no knowledge of music or how to play it. One day I saw a small ad in a local newspaper for a piano teacher. I called the number, and soon began lessons with Chris. That was nearly 14 years ago.

In addition to teaching how to play the piano, Chris has taught me so much more, including how to read music, music theory concepts, and music history. He has instilled in me a profound appreciation of the piano, and has made learning piano fun. Chris is an excellent piano teacher, and is a great guy, too. If you are seeking a piano teacher for any skill level, from beginner to advanced, look no further than Chris Magallon!
