A Cognitive Development Program through Music

"Day has been instrumental in shaping Anaïs's first introduction to piano and overall instructional process. What I appreciate most is how adaptive he was to her mood and personality. There were times when Anais was feeling shy and would run off to her room instead of participating. Rather than forcing the lesson, Day would engage her through things she enjoyed, like reading a book or playing with a plush toy. Then he would naturally incorporate music into the activity.

He always came prepared with her favorite songs, but also introduced her to new pieces that she ended up loving, including Swan Lake, Carmen, and Clair de Lune. Day is upbeat, intuitive, and truly understands how young children think and behave. He has a special ability to keep them engaged while making learning feel fun and natural. One evening, after a few months of lessons, Anais just sat at the piano and was freely playing for us. She wasn't intimidated by the instrument and found joy in exploring it."

"I met Day over three years ago, where I briefly heard him play the piano and decided to start lessons with him right away. Day is not only a masterful performer but also an incredible teacher of piano. He works methodically and patiently with me to solve physical and technical issues, while always guiding me to better express the underlying character of the music. He has taught me how to truly focus and listen while producing the best sound on the instrument with ease. Day's sensitivity and passion for the craft inspires me to demand more from my playing, which has enabled me to discover so much more joy, fun, and intrigue from the music that I'm learning. It has been so gratifying to see myself steadily grow as a musician in the past years, and I'm wholeheartedly grateful for Day's instruction and inspiration that made my progress possible."

"I feel a great amount of gratitude for having had the opportunity to study piano with Day for 6 years. He has inspired me to fall completely in love with playing the piano. I was first drawn to Day's beautiful playing and have been awed by his ability to impart this passion to his students. It is due to his attention to precise detail in musical expression, combined with his masterful understanding of how to physically achieve the highest quality of sound and execution, that he is able to inspire his students to achieve more than they ever dreamed of in their own musical experience. I unconditionally recommend Day as a piano teacher for students of all ages."

"Finding the right teacher can change everything, and I say that as a 28 year old who came to piano with zero musical background. What makes Day exceptional is how they listen, not just to you, but to the music you make. Day could identify exactly which part of my body was holding tension just from the way I pressed the keys. Every lesson was adapted to match my pace, my habits, and the way I carry myself. If you're considering lessons with Day, look no further!"
