Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5
He is a fantastic Professor. He knows how to teach the technique of the piano to create every kind of sound out of the instrument that one could imagine! He is a very very nice person and all his students respect him because he is a solid and reliable guide. If everybody was so simple and clear to understand!
