Numerous Students Share Their Love

  • ❛❛

    Our voice teacher has been incredible. She makes my daughter feel so comfortable and has really helped bring her out of her shell.

    She is now looking forward to auditioning for the fall musical once the school year begins.

  • ❛❛

    Mary loves her piano lessons. She wanted to learn how to improvise and compose her own music.

    Her teacher immediately came up with a game plan and was able to teach my daughter the tools she needs to let her creativity shine.

  • ❛❛

    Our guitar teacher has been great so far and I am very happy with Paul’s guitar lessons. He rushes home from school every Wednesday excited for his session.

    It’s one less place for me to have to drive to and we have no problem fitting the lessons into our busy schedule.

  • ❛❛

    I wanted to reach out and tell you how happy we are with our cello teacher!

    My daughter had to audition to get into an orchestra class in high school.

    She has been out of orchestra class for two years when she started working with Sarah. She was just accepted into the Intermediate Orchestra Class and we are so happy and proud! It will be a couple of weeks before we can continue with Sarah, but I did want to let you know how amazing we think she is!

  • ❛❛

    I had my first voice lesson today and my teacher was fantastic!! She made me feel so comfortable and was incredibly knowledgeable about her craft!

    She presented everything in such a great way and reviewed quite a bit. At the end of the lesson, she summarized all that we talked about so I would remember it. I am an elementary teacher myself, so I think I have a pretty good grasp of what good teaching looks like and she definitely used it! :-) I got so much out of the lesson and plan to sign up again!

  • ❛❛

    We are beyond thankful that we found this school. It’s so hard to find a good music teacher in our area and now we get to take lessons from a Juilliard-trained violinist.

    She is incredible and yet so humble and kind. My daughter and I are both inspired by her, and I even started taking violin lessons myself.

  • ❛❛

    I was skeptical at first, but decided to sign up my daughter for flute lessons, as she was struggling to keep up with her advanced band repertoire and wanted to quit.

    Her teacher was so encouraging and helped get her confidence back up from the very first lesson. She is doing great now and is even excited to work on some solo pieces.

  • ❛❛

    What a fantastic school! I first signed up my son for a group class to try a couple of instruments and we ended up choosing the flute.

    Our instructor has been nothing short of amazing and my son was just chosen to play an important solo in his school’s band recital.

  • ❛❛

    Leslie has learned more in the last couple of months of studying at Krescendo than she has in the past two years of taking weekly violin lessons with a local teacher.

    Having a knowledgeable instructor truly makes all the difference. Plus, she seems to be having lots of fun and is super motivated to practice now.

  • ❛❛

    So happy I came across this website! It’s exactly what we were looking for.

    The violin tutor was excellent and gave my daughter some helpful tips in a way she’d understand.

  • ❛❛

    My instructor was so nice and she is an incredible musician. She helped me understand my piece and take it to a whole new level.

  • ❛❛

    Awesome school!

    We love our singing teacher and really enjoy every lesson!

  • ❛❛

    We are a homeschooling family and I was searching for a place where we could do early morning music lessons. Two of my girls take a weekly partner voice lesson and my son does private cello lessons.

    Both of their teachers are kind and so knowledgeable. Krescendo is an amazing option for those looking for flexible and quality instruction.

  • ❛❛

    We homeschool our kids and their Krescendo lessons are our favorite weekly activity.

    There are very few music teachers available in our area and it’s a huge blessing to find a place where all of my kids can study different instruments and improve so quickly.

  • ❛❛

    My son was really struggling to keep up with his orchestra and kept telling me he felt completely lost. After just a few months of lessons, he is thriving and now loves to play his violin.

    He told me he wants to continue lessons even after he goes off to middle school in September.

  • ❛❛

    We are having a great experience here! My daughter loves and looks forward to her lesson here every week! Kelsey is very nice and makes my daughter feel comfortable. Very happy we found Krescendo Music Academy!

  • ❛❛

    I signed my 12 year old daughter up and she had her first lesson today. She said it was great! Her instructor was very kind and welcoming. We have already booked more sessions.

  • ❛❛

    Angela is awesome. My daughter needed to work toward some specific performance goals and Angela was able to give her just the help she needed. She was very flexible and easy to work with.

  • ❛❛

    I thought my instructor was fantastic and I learned some great tips. Great first lesson.

  • ❛❛

    Great introduction, well planned and transitioned smoothly from one topic to the next

  • ❛❛

    Cristian Garcia has been great so far and I am happy with the guitar lessons. He is patient, easy-going and flexible.

  • ❛❛

    Kristina has been an inspiration for my daughter, who already has 6 years of experience on the piano, composes music herself and also sings opera on an advanced level. So she’s a challenging student. Kristina is an extremely skilled instructor - plus a professional concert pianist herself - with impeccable teaching credentials who takes the time to customize her lessons for her students and work at their level.

    She is the rare instructor who is kind and thoughtful, yet also exceedingly skilled at covering the fine points. It took me forever to find somebody this qualified for my daughter, and I couldn’t be more happy with my choice.

  • ❛❛

    Kelsey worked with Tori and Denis for their high school show choir, musical and All Shore Chorus auditions. She was instrumental in helping them gain the confidence they needed for these auditions by working closely with them, challenging them to reach their full vocal potential.

    Kelsey’s love of music and singing inspires all of her students to be the best they can be!

  • ❛❛

    Ms. Lora has been Julian’s teacher of music theory since Fall 2018. She is a fantastic teacher in all aspects, and we feel very fortunate to have her guide Julian’s exploration of music.

    She is nice, patient, and instills both rigor and fun in her teaching. She is also very considerate in personalizing and customizing the learning journey for students, taking into account their interests/preferences in each stage. The solid training through Lora’s theory lessons helps Julian to learn advanced piano and violin repertoire more effectively and efficiently.

  • ❛❛

    Lora been my daughter’s music theory teacher for over 10 years. Since then, she has aced all of her theory examinations and was able to breeze through her AP theory course at her high school.

    My daughter is considering double-majoring in music in college and I know her solid musical foundation will help her immensely, thanks to Lora’s help.

  • ❛❛

    Our music theory lessons with Lora have been so helpful for my son, who is a budding violinist. They have improved everything in his playing, from his sense of pitch and sight-reading skills to his overall understanding of the music he is playing.

    The lessons are so fun and interesting and my son is always looking forward to them. I highly recommend Lora for all students wishing to study music seriously

  • ❛❛

    Ms Kristina has been teaching my son piano for over 6 years now. When we first came to her, my son was not at all into piano and didn't play well.

    However, with her amazing skills and patience, my son is now playing very well and loving it, too. He really enjoys working with Kristina, mostly because she is so loving and attentive. We all love her and hope to continue working with her for many more years.

  • ❛❛

    Kelsey Robertson is a wonderful voice lessons instructor. I have taken lessons from her for three years and have seen lots of progress in my vocal development and musicianship. Kelsey creates a welcoming learning environment that is essential to healthy growth as a student.

    We have worked on repertoire in languages such as English, Italian, German, French, Latin, and Spanish. She has helped me prepare for many auditions and helped me receive acceptance into the Eastman School of Music.

    Kelsey makes a wonderful teacher because she engages with the students, inspires, and encourages us to create our own interpretations of the music. To just name some vocal goals, we have worked on expanding my vocal range, evening my passaggio, breathing techniques, and expression through text and through music. I appreciate all she has taught me.

  • ❛❛

    My daughter Maria (12 years old) has been taking piano lessons with Ms. Kristina for almost 5 years. This has been an incredible experience! Ms. Kristina is a dedicated, wonderful teacher and an amazing person. She is extremely patient, supportive, always cheerful, making learning fun and engaging. I'm very happy with the progress Maria made in the past few years. She now loves piano and most importantly, she enjoys practicing.

    While practicing alone is easy, performing in front of others was more difficult for Maria. Ms. Kristina organized recitals and encouraged Maria to participate in various piano events which boosted her confidence and motivated her to perform. We're so thankful to have Ms. Kristina teaching Maria!

  • ❛❛

    My two kids have been taking music theory classes with Lora over the last few years. Even though both of my kids have different strengths and weaknesses, Lora knows how to connect with both of them equally well, and help them both shine.

    Both of my kids had trouble with intonation in their violin and cello studies, but both of them have improved so much since their lessons with Lora. Even their private teachers have commented on that several times. My son has also started feeling confident enough to begin composing his own music.

  • ❛❛

    Our Krescendo lessons are the highlight of our week. All 4 of my kids take lessons here (piano, drums, cello, voice) and every one of my kids’ instructors is exceptional.

    The best part is how easy it is to schedule the lessons to fit our crazy schedule and there is no need to drive anywhere. I don’t know where else I could have found such amazing teachers all in one place.

  • ❛❛

    Kristina is by far one of the finest piano instructors one can find. Not only is she a brilliant and accomplished pianist, but she is also a kind and compassionate teacher. In our lessons, she always produces the perfect balance of hard work and fun, while creating a nurturing and motivating environment.

  • ❛❛

    Cris is a phenomenal guitar teacher! His lessons are fun and packed with information and help. He caters the lesson towards my goals and practice time availability. It’s so great to start my day with a guitar lesson in my own

    home! I was able to recently record the lesson so that I could review what we covered while also watching my learning process.

  • ❛❛

    Working with Kelsey has been nothing short of remarkable.

    Her application of the fundamentals along with an intuitive sense for the art, sensitive ears, and fun teaching style has allowed me to discover qualities and confidence in my voice I didn’t think existed, and sing pieces I never thought I could.

  • ❛❛

    I look forward to my guitar lesson every Friday night, after a long and busy work week. It’s my time to unwind and learn songs I’ve always wanted to play. My teacher is awesome and so helpful.

  • ❛❛

    I’m a complete beginner but my instructor did an awesome job explaining all of the basics in a really attainable way. I had a great time and I’m super excited to continue.

  • ❛❛

    My two boys have been taking piano lessons and music theory with Ms.

    Lora for over eight years. She is patient and has deep knowledge of classical piano skills. She maintains a delicate balance between the rigorous demand for technical skills and the engagement of students’ interests. She is also very good at assessing a student’s ability, yet she challenges them. We are delighted to take a lesson with her. My older son will complete his last year of lessons with Ms. Lora before he heads to college.

  • ❛❛

    My son Paul has been taking piano lessons with Kristina for the last 4 years. He had a different teacher for a couple of years prior to that and I always felt that he wasn't motivated to practice and was not making much progress.

    Kristina immediately inspired him to become passionate about music again and slowly, but surely fixed all of his hand problems and taught him to play in a completely different way. I'm amazed every time I hear him play now. He truly sounds like a completely different person.

  • ❛❛

    Kristina truly cares about her students and goes above and beyond to help them reach their potential. My 3 kids have been taking lessons with her for several years now and they still look forward to it every week.

    Kristina has many fun ways to motivate them to practice, so they are making wonderful progress without much help from me, which is a huge plus :-). I am always amazed at the high level of all of Kristina's students when I attend her recitals every year.

  • ❛❛

    Lora Baronian is a fantastic teacher who is devoted to her students, and we highly recommend her. Lora has taught all three of our children music theory from elementary school through high school. Our oldest son is now in his second year of college pursuing piano performance.

    Through Lora's tutelage and support, he entered college with a strong foundation in music theory and was very well-prepared to meet the demands of his college level music classes. We have been impressed with not only Lora's expert knowledge, but also her patience, compassionate approach to teaching, and ability to individually mentor each of our children's musical growth by taking into account their very different learning styles and education needs.

    Lora sets a high bar for achievement within a focused yet comfortable and engaging environment that brings the best out of our children. We are truly grateful to have Lora as our children's teacher, and we appreciate the priceless bond that we have developed over the years.

  • ❛❛

    Annie runs down the stairs excited every time I remind her that she is about to have her piano lesson.

    Ms Kristina is very sweet, energetic, and makes the lessons really fun. I have been very impressed with how quickly Annie is learning and polishing her pieces. We are so thankful to have such a wonderful teacher!

  • ❛❛

    We absolutely love Ms Kristina and feel so lucky to have her as our teacher. My girls adore her and I couldn't be happier with how well they are playing.

    I never played an instrument myself so I don't know much about music, but I sometimes sit in during the lessons and Ms Kristina makes everything so interesting that it makes me wish I had the time to learn as well. We couldn't recommend her highly enough.

  • ❛❛

    Best piano teacher ever. Kristina has been teaching me for the past two years and I can't even tell you how much she has helped me with my technique and everything else.

    She finds dozens of different ways to explain things if you are having trouble with something, while always encouraging you and making you feel comfortable and supported. Also literally the sweetest person you will ever come across.

  • ❛❛

    I remember literally begging Ms Kristina to accept us into her studio since her schedule was completely full and I'm so glad I did and that she gave us a chance. My son has grown in leaps and bounds since starting lessons with her and we couldn't be happier. Ms Kristina loves what she does and truly loves working with kids and it really shows.

  • ❛❛

    Cristian is a great teacher. He taught me how to play beautiful classical guitar pieces, even though I had no musical experience and couldn’t even read music or really hear a melody. He was patient, competent and can explain things in a way I could finally understand. I highly recommend him for your next guitar lesson!

  • ❛❛

    Cris is an exceptional classical guitar instructor. He guided me from a point where I had no technique and couldn’t read music to playing sophisticated pieces of music. Cris also has a special reverence for the classical guitar repertoire, which inspired the same interest in me.

  • ❛❛

    Ms Kristina is an amazing teacher and is very sweet. My 10 year old son loves her and we are looking forward to working with her for many years to come.

  • ❛❛

    Great lesson! Daniel was patient, upbeat, and gave very understandable explanations. We covered quite a bit of ground at a pace that kept it all easy to handle. Now it's time to practice!

  • ❛❛

    Studying with Daniel has been an incredible experience. He is very knowledgeable but also very flexible. Whatever aspect of your music adventure you are looking to improve, Daniel has a path for you to follow.

  • ❛❛

    Daniel is very knowledgeable and kind. He understands student's strengths and weaknesses and also the areas to focus on. I am a beginner and have self-learned on and off for a few years. Daniel teaches progressively, and I thoroughly enjoyed my first session with him!

  • ❛❛

    Daniel is a fun and easygoing instructor who tailors to your needs, adapting to your musical interests as well as your preferred lesson style. And it is clear that he has years of teaching experience under his belt. He has also helped me improve my music theory understanding, which has become rusty over the years. I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor.

  • ❛❛

    Cristian is a wonderful and attentive music teacher. He rekindled my relationship with classical guitar after having paused my practice for over a decade. Over the year we worked together, he brought me gorgeous music that I was interested in playing and coached me into making it happen.

    I progressed quickly with his instruction, learning to read again while working on my finesse. He is so pleasant to be around and a generous teacher.
