Craig Lynch

Craig is an awesome piano teacher! Our kid has been going for almost an year and due to Craig's dedication towards him, we can see, our kid plays piano so well! Craig is extremely patient and friendly with kids. Our kid looks forward for his piano class every week and loves spending time with Craig. And if we were unable to make it to class for some reason, we can go for online class which is very helpful, as he doesn't miss class. We are so happy our kid got the best piano teacher!

Craig Lynch is an awesome Piano Teacher. He is extremely patient with kids. Both my children enjoy learning from him. Craig is very professional as well, I would recommend him if you are considering learning piano.

My daughter has been learning Piano with Craig for several months. I am very grateful to his passion, patience, and encouragement that he gave through the whole time. As a piano teach, he's alway giving my daughter encouragement, lots of motivation, right technic, and easing away my worries. Showed why people like and want to play piano in their life and how a person can be so enjoyable when doing something that they really love. Craig's very knowledgeable and talented.

It's easy to get touched by music he played, happy or sad, humor or classic. My daughter showed noticeable progress in a short time which in turn triggered herself to do better and more. This is the one of the best gifts we can give to our kids.

Craig has been teaching our two kids for years, we see a great value in the piano classes. If you are looking for a good piano teacher we recommend Craig's piano lessons.

Craig is super nice and professional. Easy to communicate and flexible with the schedule. We've been with him for years. His teaching style is fun and nurturing, great for young minds. Really impressed by his technics. We appreciate him very much!

My 7yr old son and 11yr old daughter have been taking piano lessons with Mr. Craig for the past 2 years. He combines both theory and practice in every class, which gives students deeper understanding of each piece. They have recitals twice a year, which gives them an opportunity to prepare and perform in front of a live audience. My kids always look forward to Mr. Craig's piano class. He is engaging, patient and fun. Thanks to Mr. Craig my kids have developed a genuine interest in music.

For around the last 5 years, I have been learning piano with Mr. Lynch. I had 2 years of piano experience prior to attending Mr. Lynch's lessons, with another teacher, but I switched to Mr. Lynch due to the fact that he had the certification to teach students who wanted to earn the Certificate of Merit. The Certificate of Merit is great for students who would like a bit more structure and focus on theory in their learning, but it is entirely optional. Parents should decide if they would like their child to aim for it depending on the goal outcome of their child's piano lessons.

The Certificate of Merit is concrete proof of the time commitment and effort students invest into their musical learning, which universities tend to value. I haven't entered high school yet, but it's never too early to begin preparing for the future. Mr. Lynch offering the Certificate of Merit is helping me reach my goals for the future. One thing I've observed about Mr. Lynch is that he immensely values communication.

He greatly values student input and always goes out of his way to ensure his students are part of the conversation. His teaching environment is welcoming and a place where students can comfortably express themselves through their music. Another aspect of Mr. Lynch's piano classes I appreciate is that students have an opportunity showcase their piano skills twice a year in recitals.

There is a recital around the beginning of December and another one in the beginning of June. This ensures students are able to perform in front of an audience, and it helps teach us to manage our stage fright.

Mr. Craig Lynch has taught my son piano since my son was 4 years old (now 13). Mr. Craig is both patient and encouraging. In addition, Mr. Craig's semiannual recitals were an important factor in choosing a teacher, because we consider recitals important both as a motivation to perfect a piece by a firm deadline and also to promote confidence in performing for an audience. Also, I like that Mr. Craig spends time teaching music theory as well as performance skills. I recommend Mr. Craig as a piano teacher and his performing arts school Santa Teresa Academy of Music and Dance, where my sons have also taken dance and violin.

My son has been taking piano lessons from Craig for almost 2 years. Craig has provided a fun and nurturing environment for piano lessons. His set up area is clean and organized and perfect for students during their lessons. During COVID times, Craig quickly stepped up and adjusted to the new normal and was able to set up online learning immediately. I don't think we missed any lessons during the transition. My son enjoys his lessons and will continue with lessons for a long time!

Craig is an outstanding piano teacher who has made learning fun and engaging for my daughter. She started taking lessons at 9 with no prior experience and is now 11 and playing far better than I ever expected in such a short period of time. During the COVID pandemic, Craig seamlessly transitioned to virtual lessons via live video conferencing and we did not miss a beat. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a piano teacher.

I've been taking Craig's piano lessons for a few years. He is a great teacher and always encourage student to take challenges to the next level. He is super patient and I really like his teaching style for adult student like me, he helped me to explore piano learning in the way that I can enjoy, such as re-arrange some music notes to fit to my level. He is very talented and knowledgeable about piano, and passionate about piano teaching. I highly recommend Craig!

Mr. Craig has been my daughter's piano teacher since 1st grade. Over these years he has passionately and patiently taught her the instrument as well as theory, and in addition a 'lab' session that provides the student a history of the instrument's evolution and famous composers. He also coaches and prepares her in taking the annual Certificate of Merit exam, which is quite challenging. Overall, we are pleased with her progress and grateful to her teacher's dedication to see the student not only succeed but enjoy it along the way!

My son recently started piano training with Craig and it has been a wonderful experience. He loves playing the piano and looks forward to the weekly sessions. He cleared his first level of MCAT exam with flying colors under Craig's guidance. Craig had been super helpful, until the last day of the exam helping correct the notes and making sure my son is prepared well! Craig even sat with my son to review the theory questions which he got wrong and made him realize where he went wrong.

The best thing about Craig's methodology is he makes piano playing fun and modifies the lessons as per the student's level and aptitude. He is very friendly but at the same time makes the pupil understand the importance of regular piano practice and the joy it brings. I am glad that my son is learning the piano with Craig and I highly recommend him.

My son takes classes remotely during the pandemic and he really likes his classes. Mr. Craig came in highly recommended from one of my friend. I was initially skeptic about remote learning, but it's working out well. Mr. Craig gives frequent update about my son's class via email which is helpful. Looking forward to see my son learning more from Mr. Craig.
