Contra Music School

Paul is a fantastic piano teacher for both kids and adults. He has been working with my 10-year old daughter for nearly four years, and she has not only improved her musical knowledge and piano technique, but she is still excited about learning the instrument, attending lessons and making the time to practice. Her continued interest is a testament to Paul’s personal approach and kind coaching style, as well as his ability to tailor the lessons to her interests and level. After seeing her progression, I also started working with him, and I've really enjoyed the experience. He's very supportive but knows when and how to push, and it's moved my piano ability further than I thought was possible. If you are considering piano lessons for yourself or a child, I highly recommend working with Paul.

Quentin has been one of the best tutors I had in my life for music. He really understands how to figure out what you need help on and makes it enjoyable to work with him. He is very patient and always is open to hearing your ideas and thoughts as well. I see so much improvement since he was my tutor and look forward to continuing having lessons with him. Any music I bring to him he always hears a story to it and helps me see it as well. He even plays the accompaniment part to my solos on piano and it is always a pleasure to play with him.

I have been taking guitar lessons with Antonio for the better part of a year. He is a fantastic musician and an excellent, highly educated teacher. In addition, he has also helped deal with pain that I developed from playing with improper technique before I started lessons with him. Antonio is a wonderful musician and mentor with endless patience.

Antonio is an extremely knowledgeable and patient teacher who cares about the growth and enjoyment of his students. He spends time assessing where his students are and where they want to be: genre and skill-wise. Lessons are fun and focused. It’s been a pleasure learning from him and I look forward to building my musicality through the weekly lessons and thoughtful practice exercises prepared by him.

My grandson has been taking piano lessons with Paul for a few years now. It is because of Paul that he has greatly improved and has really acquired a love for playing piano. Paul is so patient and has amazing technique which he teaches so well. I would recommend Paul to anyone who would like to take piano lessons. I am so pleased with my grandson’s progress and enthusiasm. 🙂

Both Antonio and Quentin are great teachers and musicians. They breathe music. You can see they're passionate about transmitting what they know, by adapting their techniques to each student's level. Would definitely recommend if you're looking to develop a strong foundation in music.

Antonio is an excellent teacher with a wealth of knowledge and experience. It was clear for me from the beginning that he valued my learning journey in both music and life. He tailors lessons to suite your strengths and weaknesses and teaches in a style that aligns most with how you approach learning.
