My daughter has been taking lessons from Alex for the past seven years. Alex has worked with her in a style that has resulted in significant progress over the years. He knows when to push and also when to pull back and has a nice balanced style of teaching that enhances the student’s learning instead of creating frustration. He has a sincere interest in making the music experience enjoyable for the student. I would highly recommend Alex as your piano teacher.

I began fulfilling a life-long dream of taking piano lessons two years ago at age 58. Alex Gurin of Martocchio Music is my teacher. I can’t say enough good things about Alex as a piano teacher, especially for adults. He combines excellent technical skills and expertise with an outstanding ability to teach in ways that produce good results/progress for the student, yet maintain the student’s interest in learning. My program alternates between periods of concentration on exercises to improve my technique with those of learning to play relatively difficult piano concertos and sonatas. As a result, my basic technique has improved significantly, while at the same time I have continued to play classical piano works that I thoroughly enjoy. I recommend Alex without qualification to students of any age — including adults — who wish to study the piano under a truly exceptional professional teacher.

Alex Gurin has been our son’s piano teacher for over seven years. He is a master teacher; his demeanor, teaching style and expertise have allowed Andrew to truly enjoy playing the piano. Alex is patient, kind, and talented, and Andrew always came away from his lessons energized to tackle a new piece of music. We highly recommend Alex as your child’s music teacher. He is the best!

My Daughter and Son have been taking piano lessons from Alex for 2+ years. Alex is not only an exceptional pianist but his teaching style is like no other. He is so wonderful with the children and has a great way of motivating them to practice as well as master new skills. My daughter plays by ear and he was able to teach her to read music while keeping it fun for her. I would hands up recommend Alex to anyone.

My son Joey has been taking lessons from Alex Gurin for over two years. His teaching style works very well for Joey– he challenges Joey to do his best while providing encouragement and praise. Alex also can read Joey well and knows when to scale back if Joey is struggling. He has a great sense of humor that Joey really enjoys. Joey has now moved into Mozart and Bach as he begins his third year, and I am looking forward to the progress I know he’ll continue to make under Alex’s guidance.

Two of my sons have been studying piano with Alex for the past 6 years. They began playing so well that I began working with him 3 years ago. Alex is an excellent teacher, pays close attention to detail, proper technique and musical interpretation. He is thoughtful, caring and patient and strives to get the most out of his students. We feel fortunate to have him as a teacher and highly recommend him to any potential student, young or old.

My daughter is 12 and she says the following about Ales Guerin: “Alex has been my piano teacher for 2 years now. He is very enthusiastic, which helps me stretch my potential. He is easy to work with and the atmosphere is comfortable. Alex is very flexible, if I miss my lesson it is easy to reschedule.” I would add, as her mom, that I have been very happy with Alex Guerin as her piano teacher. He is very patient with her and quite understanding of her personality and talkative nature. She has practiced at home without being asked, so i know he gives her the inspiration and encouragement that she needs to stay motivated between lessons. I would highly recommend him!

My son started learning piano last year with Mr. Gurin at the age of 4. It has been quite a journey thus far; under Mr. Gurin’s tutelage Robert is now working on the classics, less than a year later. Known to Robert as Mr. Alex, he is caring and extremely patient. On several occasions when friends asked how/why he plays piano so well Robert responded that he learned from “Mr. Alex! You should take piano with him!” And when asked why Mr. Alex, Robert said “Mr. Alex is smart and he knows a lot!” I too share that sentiment with my 5 years old son!
