In just a few months, my son has learned so much and his progress has been impressive. I am so grateful for the positive impact Jeremy has had on my son's musical journey. Thank you Jeremy and we can’t wait to see what the future holds."
Dezi Hofeling, Logan, UT
"Absolutely thrilled with our experience with Jeremy! My daughter has flourished under his guidance and instruction. Jeremy is not only an extremely skilled pianist, he also fosters a love for music in every lesson. I highly recommend him!"
Camille Stott, Logan, UT
"As a pianist myself- I wanted to find my daughter a teacher who would positively encourage and teach her correct principles young (sight reading, theory, technique etc) so that she can excel as she gets older in areas where I was unable to. Jeremy has exceeded all of my expectations. He is very knowledgable and skilled in the piano. He knows how to teach age appropriately and has gotten my daughter to be extremely excited about piano. I am very impressed and would recommend him to all my family and friends."
Sarah Noel, Murray, UT
"Our son has been playing piano for 10 years and it was time for a change as he was becoming more advanced. From the first lesson, we noticed growth and development in our son. Jeremy challenges him in ways he hasn’t experienced. He is learning to be more passionate and expressive in his playing in addition to being aware of the importance of technical skills. His theory and understanding of music pedagogy has also been noticeably improved. The hour they spend together each week is so productive and each week we see growth. He feels uplifted and confident when he leaves each lesson and often goes immediately to the piano when we get home. We found a gem in Jeremy and we are so lucky to be part of his studio."
Lucas Green, West Valley City, UT
"My child has been taking piano lessons with Jeremy for the past few months, and I cannot express how grateful we are to have found such a remarkable instructor. From the very first lesson, it was clear that Jeremy is passionate about teaching and dedicated to his students' success.
One of the most outstanding qualities of Jeremy is his ability to make each student feel like they are his primary focus. My son always feels encouraged and valued, which has significantly boosted his confidence and love for playing the piano.
Jeremy provides a comprehensive piano education that covers all aspects of the instrument. He not only teaches the technical skills needed to play beautifully but also delves into music theory, ensuring that students understand the foundations of what they are playing.
Beyond the notes and scales, Jeremy emphasizes the importance of stage presence and performance etiquette. He prepares his students for recitals and public performances with great care, teaching them how to present themselves confidently and connect with their audience. He also offers insights into the history of music, enriching his students' understanding and appreciation of the pieces they play.
Moreover, Jeremy has a unique talent for making lessons enjoyable and engaging. He uses creative teaching methods and personalized approaches to ensure that each lesson is fun and tailored to the student's individual learning style.
Jeremy is an exceptional piano teacher who goes above and beyond to nurture his students' talents. His dedication, expertise, and genuine care for his students make him an invaluable mentor. I highly recommend Jeremy to anyone seeking a piano teacher who will inspire and guide their child to reach their full potential."
