Mr. Coff is an excellent teacher. He knows how to encourage the youngest of children with age appropriate techniques that help them develop their fine motor skills.

I highly recommend the academy.

She is able to play at a very high level, but always learned at her own pace. Her experiences there: playing in front of large audiences (in groups and solos), helping teach younger children, working...read full review
