My kids began taking lessons with Evan about nine months ago and their skill development has been phenomenal. Although each kid came in at a different skill level, Evan has been able to customize lessons to help each one advance at an unexpectedly rapid pace. I really like how Evan emphasizes both piano technique, sight reading, and music theory. The kids love Evan’s methods of teaching and the point program he uses to incentivize regular practice. They also get great satisfaction in being able to play some of the classical pieces they hear on the radio. The skills they have acquired at Player One have allowed them to participate in special opportunities in their school band/orchestra such as playing piano solos. The master classes and recitals are always fantastically organized and fun experiences for both the students and their parents/guardians. – Philip, parent
I like playing pieces that are varied in emotion, which is why I like the Romantic period the most! Hoping to learn a variety of pieces to get to level 10 in CM, including Clair de Lune, Chopin Nocturnes, and Beethoven Sonatas. – Johann
My favorite part about lessons is learning new songs. The Chopin A Minor Waltz was my favorite, I liked the dynamics and the fast parts. My goal is complete the next level of Certificate of Merit. It’s fun to relate to classmates and the other students that play piano. – Joseph
I like learning songs and playing them for myself. It feels good to play songs for myself. I’m hoping to accomplish Level 2 soon and I hope to get to level 10. I want to play Fur Elise one day. – Jacob
