Testimonials

I really like my piano classes and I learned a lot from you. Thank you for teaching me so much about the piano. When I play at home everyone likes it and I feel really good about it. I really enjoy having classes with you. Thank you so much.
During Bryce's lessons he's joyful and encouraging. He laughs and he doesn't rush us at all. He is an amazing pianist and helps us stay focused, but doesn't have us do the same thing throughout our lessons.
Dear Bryce, Thank you for teaching me piano. I enjoy taking lessons from you. Thanks for all the patience and time you give to me and all other students. I look forward to seeing you again. From, Jack
Hi, my name is Lily. Bryce is the best piano teacher you could ask for. He taught me everything I know about piano, like sharps and flats, middle C. After about a year, well you will not believe this, but I could write my own song. In my opinion it is really good. He also taught me A to G. It was really cool having him as a piano teacher.
Bryce is the best piano teacher I've ever had. He taught me C and G position along with about 30 songs. For anyone who wants to learn piano, well like I said he's the best at it.
Bryce is very fun and nice and he will help you when you need it. He is a very good piano player. Bryce made me and others very, very interested in music.
"...equal parts talented musician and patient caring instructor..."
Bryce is a wonderful piano teacher! He is very patient with our 11 year old son who often has trouble focusing :) Bryce's constant encouragement and kind words help him to feel good about his ability to play the piano. In addition to teaching the basics, Bryce lets our son select the music he is interested in (e.g. Star Wars) which helps him to be more engaged and participatory. We had tried piano lessons with a different instructor years ago and it was a struggle to get our son to practice. When he started with Bryce, he would voluntarily sit down and practice as much as three or four times a week! We are thrilled to have found such a great teacher and highly recommend him!

Talia was actually Bryce's first piano student and she was only seven years old when we started. He was kind and sweet and always had patience with her. He would adjust lessons to her and how much sitting and focusing she could tolerate on that day. Bryce is a kind and gentle soul and his love of children shines through in his teaching. Thanks Bryce for being wonderful at what you do!

"...he's so encouraging..."
Bryce has been a great piano teacher for my kids. He brought music into our home that warms my heart. Both of my children sit down to play quite often and I stop whatever I'm doing and enjoy life for a little bit and just listen—amazed that they can make such a beautiful sound.

Two of my elementary-aged children took piano lessons from Bryce, and I was delighted by how well it turned out. Frankly, they were a bit reluctant at first, but his patience, humor, and obvious love of the instrument won them over. Almost immediately they were able to play real, actual songs, which they took pride in performing for the family. I would not hesitate for one hot second to recommend Bryce to anyone wanting a piano teacher for kids.

Even though my daughter was Bryce's first student, it was immediately obvious that teaching music to children is a passion for him. Bryce is a natural teacher to children and when this is combined with his endless love for music you get a man that adjusts easily to every individual student, so that they come away from every lesson with something new. Patience is his greatest strength. My daughter thrived under his guidance, and I couldn't imagine a better suited piano instructor for your child.

"...his love of children shines through in his teaching..."
Bryce is extremely easygoing, and our daughter genuinely looks forward to her lessons. They laugh and have fun during their lessons. He's so encouraging and has even guided her through composing her own song—and she's only been taking lessons for two years!
