He's patient, uncritical, and always encouraging and he structures his lesson plans around my musical interests...I like him personally and know I will learn quickly with him..." - Paul D. Hi Kent, "...I wanted to let you know there is a difference in the way Amanda views playing piano. Lately, she wants to practice and learn the pieces on her own. She is finding a newfound enjoyment in playing and learning from you. :)..." [Note from Kent: The above was in reference to Amanda having spent two years at Yamaha School of Music, prior to starting lessons with me. I currently have another former Yamaha student, whose parents recommended me to Anna's mother.] - Janice Y. "Kent's music knowledge and experience make the lessons enjoyable. He puts time and effort in every session, and makes sure I leave with all my questions answered. Kent has customized my lessons based on my musical taste. I pick a song I'm interested in and then Kent incorporates the technique and theory I need to learn the song. I came to him with zero knowledge on how to play guitar and piano, and a year and a half later I have some songs under my belt. I especially love that he encourages me to try new songs on my own. I highly recommend Kent as your music teacher." -- Caroline A. "...I tried out many piano instructors in my area and was very impressed with the quality of instruction I received from Kent. He is extremely personable and committed to helping others like myself enjoy playing the piano. Once you are one of his students, he will go out of his way to support your learning via phone, email and anything else you may need to help you progress in musical goals..." - Mona R. From a recent email (names changed by me): "...Also want to give you heads up: We had this Halloween party, <Mary> had lots of friends came. Of course, her piano skill impressed some of the parents. <Jane>'s mom, <Nancy>, got your number from me. <Jane> is in the same class with <Mary>, they are good friends. <Nancy> said, that she saw kids learning piano for years, still couldn't play a song. I told her, it's all because of <Mary>'s fabulous teacher, Kent Smith! So, she might call you...." References are available on request. pianodrumteacher.com (928) 692-7777 |
