Client Testimonials
“ Our son Elliot studied with Dave Beeman for eight years. Dave is a knowledgeable, competent, patient, kind, friendly and fun piano teacher. Through Dave’s instruction, our son gained a solid foundation in classical method, technique, and literature--advancing to perform works such as Beethoven’s Tempest Sonata and a Mozart Concerto. This grounding served him well in his parallel study of the oboe and in becoming the Principal Oboist of the Garfield High School Symphony Orchestra. It also gave rise to our son’s flourishing appreciation of many musical genres. ”

“Thank you, Dave. How lucky we were to have found you. I say “we” because listening to Sam become a musician through your guidance has given us all great joy. Sam now has a strong foundation and I hope that he will continue to grow musically - I’m sure he will. Because of your important emphasis of the fundamentals - scales and arpeggios - Sam is already pretty good at improvising and can pick up folk and pop songs to accompany friends and family. I’ll never hear the Waldstein again without thinking of you and Sam!”

“I have many fond memories of lessons and recitals that I can thank only you for. To think that you have allowed me freedom to grow and become an independent musician. All my technique and skills come from all you have taught me and I will continue to use them for jazz and any new music I may choose to pursue. I will greatly miss you and the lessons we have but I hope you can give new students exactly what you gave me. I will never forget you and will always thank you for your support and base you gave me for the last six years.”
