What people are saying about VIRTUOSO …

Testimonials

Megan F.

Leon does great job working with my son. I can't believe how much my son's piano skills improved in such a short time...and he actually loves practicing at home! We will definitely continue with VIRTUOSO for as long as we can.

Lesa B.

My 9 year old son had the best experience taking piano lessons for the first time with Mr. Leon. He was patient and taught in a way that was fun and engaging. We can’t wait for our next session!

Tojan R.

My 6 year old learned so much in a short 8 week course with Mr. Leon! He made it fun and engaging that she wanted to practice at home. He was very encouraging and even fostered her confidence to “present” at the concert at the end.

Donna D.

My daughter has truly enjoyed the start of her musical journey with Mr. Leon. His warm encouragement and patient, practical, and developmentally appropriate guidance supported her to shine even while being naturally more reserved. We are grateful for the positive start to a hopefully long musical journey!

Meg D.

My 6-year-old loved her Little VIRTUOSO classes! She had fun while learning about the joy of making music. I love that we can sign up for semester sessions, so it's a flexible commitment.

Cassie M.

I just wanted to tell you how much our son Clark is loving his “Tiny VIRTUOSO” piano class. He gets so excited on piano day and comes home raving about it, ready to jump on our piano and play!

Christina W.

“Little VIRTUOSO gave our daughter a great foundation in piano technique and general music theory. The lessons are a nice mix of piano methods, worksheets, and play-along fun. Leon is great with kids, making it enjoyable for her to learn music!”

Beth K.

“Having a small class with lots of immediate feedback from the teacher felt personal and geared exactly to my own learning needs.”

Katie E. A.

“I'm beginning to understand the mystery and magic of how music is constructed - and joining the "dots" so to speak - This course has turned out to be an unexpected joy and adventure!”

Mim W.

“The group is fun, interactive, and surprisingly achievable; even for a 57-year-old, technology-challenged student like myself!”

Suzanne M.

“I have had many piano teachers for 'non-classical' classes, but none came close to Leon's VIRTUOSO method.”
