I couldn’t be more pleased with the progress of both of my children. I have a three and four year old who started in the Suzuki Early Childhood program and soon moved into the Suzuki Piano. Not only have they learned so much about piano and music but also life skills like discipline, patience, and resilience. I would recommend Ms. Alyse’s program for anyone who wants to give their child lasting skills, which can help them for life and enrich their experience.

Alyse is a wonderful piano teacher for children and adults. My daughter and I started piano lessons with Alyse over 15 years ago. My daughter received a priceless introduction to piano and music theory which carried her through her high school, college and now her master’s in music. I played piano in my younger years and decided to reintroduce myself to piano. She reignited my love of piano and gave me the confidence to play music I never thought I could master. Alyse is an incredibly talented pianist, and a great piano teacher for children and adults. I feel very lucky we found Alyse!

Alyse Korn is a fabulous piano teacher! She is patient with the students, yet firm and able to keep them directed. She uses the Suzuki Method quite adeptly. She inspires the students to learn using a variety of techniques that are fun and challenging. My daughter began lessons at FOUR! After almost two years, she continues to enjoy her lessons and has developed a musicality beyond her years. More importantly, Alyse has helped her to develop an intrinsic motivation to practice! Now that makes a parent’s heart sing! I would highly recommend Alyse…she is a great teacher for students of any age!

As many of the other reviews explain, Alyse does have a great way with her students. She is kind, patient, and enthusiastic. She is always complimentary so my children always come out of her lessons feeling better than when they went in. They come away with a sense of having accomplished something. She also teaches her students professionalism in performing so they always look and sound great when performing at school events or other non-studio events. And they are learning music theory as well!

My daughter Rachel is 5 and has taken piano lessons from Ms. Alyse Korn for less than 1 year. It’s been absolutely a wonderful, amazing journey for her! I watched her learn little by little via the easy, fun yet effective way that Alyse taught her. I was impressed by how patient and gentle Alyse is to the littles ones! My daughter adores Alyse so much and always looks forward to go to Alyse’s studio for the lessons and parties. She loves to play at the recitals! I could not believe how beautifully my 5 year old can play. I am glad that I found Alyse to teach my daughter. I would rate her the No. 1 piano teacher and strongly recommend to every parent!!! My son took Alyse’s toddler SUZUKI music classes last year when he was 3 and I would receommend that to all parents with toddlers too, especially those parents who want their toddler to learn a musical instrument in the future. It’s definitely fun for the kids and it will benefit the kids so much for their future music study. My son still remembers how much fun he had at the class though he doesn’t know he was learning classical music! He’ll start taking piano lesson soon!

The first time we met Alyse was ten years ago, after having observed 2 other piano instructors. My daughter was six years old, and she had been ready to leave 15 minutes after observing the first 2 instructors, but she was smitten with Alyse’s way of teaching. My daughter did not want to leave even after one hour of observing Alyse teach. In hind sight I believe that my daughter found a kindred spirit in Alyse, she was just the right piano mentor for my daughter. Alyse’s calm, patient and kind way of teaching and correcting were just what my daughter responded to.
It has been a wonderful ten years of learning music theory through music mind games and workbooks, ear-training and proper hand placement. As well as experiencing learning through group classes, performing at recitals, and master classes. My daughter has really enjoyed learning to play all the songs in the Suzuki books, as well as playing duets which Alyse especially picked for her and a friend of similar age and level, also taking lessons with Alyse.
In the beginning I only wanted piano lessons for my daughter for connections between right and left brain and because the Suzuki Method appealed to me. After reading Dr. Suzuki’s Nurtured By Love I realized there was more to the Suzuki method. Ten years later, I know I got so much more. In part, through our experiences with Alyse, my daughter has also learned many life lessons, such as: making and keeping a commitment, working in a group, really listening, kindness, respect for others, practice makes perfect and time management to name a few.
People today are like gardeners who look sadly at ruined saplings and shake their heads, saying the seeds must have been bad to start with, not realizing that the seed was all right, but that their method of cultivation was wrong. They go on in their mistaken way, ruining plant after plant. It is imperative that the human race escape this vicious circle.

My daughter Cassidy has been taking piano lessons from Alyse since she was 2 1/2 years old. She is now 6 and has enjoyed her sessions each time and has a very good relationship with her teacher. Alyse is very patient with children and takes the time to explain the pieces and correct mistakes in a way that is not demeaning to the child. She also takes the time to develop a relationship with the parents as they are major parts of the child’s learning. The classes combined with monthly piano parties and annual recitals allow the children to have a well rounded experience and be part of a social network as opposed to isolated students. I have enjoyed attending the sessions along with my daughter and would and have recommended her highly.
