Luke is amazing. He teaches me everything. He understands me and compromises if I don't feel comfortable with what he's given me to learn. He's a great teacher. I'm glad you brought Luke to Bigel Music. The recital was amazing. I loved being on stage, and I felt comfortable with all the support from everybody else.

”I have both of my children enrolled for violin lessons at Bigel Music. Not only are they extremely courteous, my children absolutely love their instructor. David is patient, kind and extremely motivating. Both of my kids are now begging for piano lessons from Bigel Music as well.”

Tiffany LOVES her lessons AND her teacher! I like the ability to take lessons month to month and not be held to a lengthy contract. I would recommend anyone and everyone to Bigel Music!

We just started my other child on drums and he's been having a lot of fun. Due to the hectic lifestyle and various other activities my kids have been involved with, we've had to change our lesson times quite often. They've always done their best to accommodate us and I'm very grateful for that. I would recommend Bigel Music to anyone interested in starting their child in lessons.
