Some words from a parent
My kids have been practicing piano for years with another instructor who I felt wasn't challenging them enough. I was lucky to find Adam's name when asking some local mom's for recommendations. Since working with Adam for only five weeks they have learned so much and are excited about piano again! Adam quickly learns what makes them tick. Not only that but they just started taking guitar lessons too! The best testimonial is the one of my two kids who was not interested in guitar LOVED taking his guitar lesson and has been practicing without me having to ask. Adam makes the lesson so much fun and knows how to get on their level and keep them on task without being condescending. My boys love taking lessons with him. -Jaime A. Oak Park
Some words from collaborators:
"ADAM did the nearly impossible by pulling together a cast of celebrity musician mentors to coach and perform with the School of Rock Summerfest Tour on 5 stages at Summerfest in Milwaukee for a two day event in 2015. The event was stellar, the kids shined and the mentors like me walked away with such an enriching experience, having had the opportunity to be instrumental in the development of these future stars!" markschulman.com Drummer(Pink/Foreigner)/Speaker/Author
