What People Are Saying About Us
I highly recommend Duff Piano Studios!
Both of my boys have been taking piano lessons with Mr. Greg for a few years now and they both thoroughly enjoy it. Mr. Greg is great with children and his teaching skills are amazing —
he is very patient & kind.
I especially like that he has helped my boys gain a lot of confidence through positive encouragement.
Mr. Greg & Miss Emily are highly professional and skilled, they will create a great musical experience for your child. ~ T. Mazella (parent)
My daughter Emme loves Mr. Greg and we have seen so much improvement in her playing ability and confidence. He takes the time and addresses any concerns with a positive and funny flair that make lessons enjoyable. I can't say enough about Greg and Emily and the care they take with each student. We would highly recommend them to prospective students of all ages! ~ S. Santos (parent)
Both of my kids - ages 9 and 6 started classes late last year. First time taking music classes and It is incredible to watch their progress. Mrs. Emily uses different techniques to keep them motivated and focuses in their creativity as well. Kids look forward to their classes and put their practice work during the week. Both Mr. Greg and Mrs. Emily are incredibly talented musicians and educators and I highly recommend their studio. They take great pride in their work and the work of their students. Great atmosphere! ~ C . Alves (parent)
Emily is an extremely talented and knowledgeable pianist and educator. She tailors the lessons and goals for your child, and meets them where they're at while continuing to push them forward. The learning is comprehensive, from composition to performance. These are not the rote lessons of scales and Mozart from your childhood! ~ A. Colombo
