Student Testimonials

At Judith Muir Music Lessons, we are proud of the progress our students have made. Here are a few testimonials from our satisfied students:

• "I started playing the piano with Judith when I was 5 years old - now I'm thirteen. She changes the lessons weekly so that it doesn't get boring, and keeps it challenging and fun! She is also very funny, and is a patient teacher. Judith is a good listener and helped me select pieces that I was passionate about. She has helped me become a great piano player!" - Shaylen B (Age 13)

• "I have never improved so consistently and rapidly with any other teacher, and I'm sure I'm not the only one." - MM (Age 16)

• "Our son Shaylen has been playing piano with Judith for over 7 years now. We immediately liked Judith's unique method of teaching which involved 'learning to play by ear.' Shaylen was able to figure out tunes that he knew, as well as correct his mistakes. He then learned to read music and now plays various genres, from classical to modern. An added bonus was that Judith encouraged our son to sing. Judith is a very talented musician and is always charismatic and upbeat!" - Seema B

• "My teenage daughter Leena has been working with Judith on voice lessons for more than a year, making it not only fun, but engaging as well. I can see and hear progress in my daughter's style, range, and posture. I also love how Judith works with students 'where they are, ' rather than trying to fit everyone into the same box." - Stephanie W

• "Working with Judith has been so fun and helpful, whether it's learning a new song, or something I've needed to learn for the musicals I've been in. I really enjoy my lessons!" - Leena G (Age 14)

• "Yesterday my daughter heard a song on the radio and asked for my phone. Minutes later she was playing the song on the piano's phone. I asked, 'Judith taught you?' and she said, 'I just figured it out.' It was the coolest thing to see her hear and get the notes." - SP (Age 12)
