Perfect! I’ve been practicing with Phineas for a handful of lessons now and he is a great teacher. He’s super patient and teaches you the basics/classical piano knowledge first. Also I like that he does in person classes bc it personally makes it easier to learn.

Perfect! I've been working with Phineas for almost a year now, and I'm so grateful to have found a teacher as welcoming and knowledgeable as him. Phineas is an excellent player and an even better instructor who meets you right where you're at while still pushing you to get better. I couldn't recommend him enough!

Perfect! Phineas is a strong communicator. He was patient, knowledgable, and focused on my specific piano goals. I only know some piano before from books, lessons with Phineas helped me grow my skills greatly.
