“Very informative. Helped me with an old clarinet that I aquired and did not know what to do with. Honest and good people here. Can't recommend them enough. Will return when needed. Thank you Wally's.“
“I am pleased to say the least that in my search for a great piano teacher Norm Zarr was by far well received. I am 33 years of age out of the twin city area of Minnesota where remote lessons were essential to my time well spent with Mr. Zarr being that his studio is in Portland Oregon. What I liked most of all is he focused on what I wanted out of the lessons which was how to read sheet music well. Not only did he do that, but he also taught other skills as well which I had no knowledge of prior to these lessons. I strongly recommend at least an hour session because playing piano and instruction is key to developing a good foundation not in just piano but also in music. I also wanted to mention that when seeking for teachers in my local area it was not a good experience so when Norm reached out to me during my search I was grateful because it seemed to me that not many piano teachers teach adults although they seemed willing. From my understanding he teaches both adolescents and adults. I am glad to be having Norm be apart of my piano journey until I master the piano.“
“I’ve been taking banjo lessons from Tim Mackey at Tigard String Studio for two months.Tim clearly has the talent and the professional expertise with multiple instruments. His knowledge and skill combined with his personalized teaching, encouragement and abundant patience make for a very positive learning experience. While I’m an absolute beginner, I’m making significant progress in a short amount of time due to Tim’s coaching.I am extremely appreciative of his instruction.“
“Great teacher for kids and adults. Highly recommend. I'm an adult learning cello from her.“
