"I highly recommend Sean as a piano teacher. My first lesson followed lessons for two young beginning students (I arrived early). Sean was sensitive to the child’s musical ability and ambition (the children were at opposite ends of the spectrum). He made good use of the time and both children left with a sense of accomplishment. As for me, a revenant adult player, Sean was a great find.  Teaching skills and talent and expertise don’t always come bundled… but they do in Sean! -Michelle R.
