I have been taking Piano lessons with John for 2 months. John's teaching Style is a perfect blend of tradtional and modern methods, and he provides feedback that helps me improve. John is patient, kind, and encouraging. I highly recommend John as a piano teacher.

My daughter and I worked with John over 3 years. John is our piano teacher and a good friend of us. He teaches us the joy of playing. My daughter loves to play Disney songs and John respect her choices and together they rock the studio. He is great with all ages. He is a wonderful teacher with a passion for music

I’ve been working with John for over 3 years now, and I can say that my love for piano is because of him! He plays a variety of instruments, and is able to cater to almost any need! He has taught me so much over the course of these years, and I recommend everyone to work with him!

When I was 13 years old in 2008, I started going to lessons. I took lessons for about a year. In that time i learned a great deal and was so inspired. John was a teacher that left a wonderful print in my heart because he cared and taught very well! I still remember the song he wrote for his wife too! “If I could, I’d buy you things that money couldn’t buy” and I’ll stop there because that is HIS song! I miss him and his wife very much and if i ever move back to the area i would go to him in a heartbeat! 1000/10 would recommend.

I’ve played at playing various instruments since I was 7 years old. I’m now 74. Four years ago I decided to seriously improve my piano playing. I was never very good. For the past 2 years I have taken piano lessons from John. As a result my piano playing has dramatically improved. He actually teaches me how to play songs from a lead sheet and while doing this he incorporates teaching me progressions, chord construction, scales and all of the basics......all while having fun. He has young students, older students, jazz students and classical students and students on professional tracks.

John’s studio (teaching and recording) is located in a non descript, industrial area of Palm Desert....don’t let that keep you from contacting him for lessons! The studio is very quiet and comfortable and John can help you to achieve your musical goals, large or small. He is a gifted, patient, insightful educator and knows how to sprinkle in a little humor, too. He has more performance experience than your average teacher and is also a very successful songwriter, equally adept at piano, guitar, and writing lyrics. I have learned so much from this wonderful man and will continue to benefit by soaking up all his musical wisdom. You should, too.

Awesome teacher piano guitar etc also recording. Great with kids. I highly recommend. Do learn wit john at willow tree productions
