Our son has had the pleasure of having Mr. Noel as his piano teacher for 3 years now, and we love it!
He has a unique way of teaching, that is highly effective. The way he encourages and makes learning enjoyable, while showing interest in my son's preference in music as well is much appreciated.
My son enjoys how he helps him reach his goals of learning new music that reflects each season of the year!
His communication is great, and he makes sure that our questions or concerns are dealt with in a prompt manner.
Thank you Mr. Noel!

Our children have been taking piano lessons from Mr. Noel for over five years and we hope to continue for many more! Mr. Noel started teaching each of my children at five years old and his method of teaching not only reaches children of that age, but as they get older, he is able to still connect with them and help them learn. He caters his lessons to each child so that they are excited about what they are playing. For example, my son loves Star Wars so in addition to the normal songs, Mr. Noel teaches him Star Wars songs so that he looks forward to practicing. I also love that pre-COVID, Mr. Noel held an annual recital to give the kids an opportunity to perform in public and help boost their confidence. We are so grateful for what Mr. Noel has taught and will continue to teach our children as they continue to advance in their musical education.

Mr. Noel is a key reason why I persisted with piano for the last 7 years. While he taught me many things starting from the basics of scale to the sharp crisp notes of the staccato and the elegant, smooth legato. He also varied the music lessons with out of the book pieces which matched the season. I really like his patient, caring and encouraging attitude which allowed me to learn at my own speed.

My daughter and son both started learning piano from Mr. Noel since they were 4 years old. Mr. Noel is gentle, kind and extremely patient. My 11 year old daughter is gifted and talks a million miles an hour and has never ending questions. Mr. Noel has always been very patient in answering all of her questions. He is also very knowledgeable in music theory and can explain it in a way that the kids can easily understand. My daughter just started learning how to play jazz music and she is loving it. My son loves all the holiday musics that he learns during Christmas time. Mr. Noel makes playing piano fun and has helped my kids cultivate a love for music.

Mr. Noel has been the piano teacher for my very energetic boys, ages 5 and 7, for the past two years. Mr. Noel found a way to harbor their energy and have them focus on playing the piano, which was a miracle. The children have progressed steadily and gained confidence from Mr. Noel. He is patient and has provided a positive and nurturing learning environment for my children. My boys enjoy taking lessons with Mr. Noel and look forward to piano class with him, primarily because he teaches them a lot, but in a fun way (whether it be in person or virtually). Mr. Noel is also a great communicator; He informs me of the children’s progress, what lessons they are on and how they can improve. I love being kept in the loop! Overall, Mr. Noel is a wonderful teacher – patient, and kind. He has taught my children to love playing the piano!
