Creative Keyboards

I've been taking piano lessons with Crystal for 4 months now. I started as a complete beginner. It was during quarantine and I really wanted to take up a new hobby and piano has always been on my bucket list. Robert Schumann and Clara Schumann are my great great great grandparents, so I was very inspired to learn. I remember looking at Creative Keyboard Yelp reviews and immediately contacting them because of all of the amazing reviews -- we've been meeting once per week online (via zoom) and at first, I wasn't sure how it would work not being in person, but it has been SMOOTH! I get to practice right in the comfort of my home while she guides me. I've learned SO much and feel so much more confident at only 4 months in. I can easily handle zoom piano lessons for life. She has a great setup with cameras in different angles and she does a fantastic job at teaching. From music theory, music history, and more...she really explains it in a way that sticks. I always get so motivated as soon as we end our zoom calls. She has made piano more enjoyable than I could have ever imagined. She's encouraging, positive and made learning the piano not seem so overwhelming because there's a lot to learn! If you're reading this and contemplating learning the piano as a compete beginner or picking it back up (any age!), I can't recommend Crystal enough. Get yourself a piano or keyboard and you will love the journey meeting with her weekly! Purchasing a keyboard and working with Crystal has been the BEST thing I've done in 2020/2021, hands down  Thank you, Crystal!!

Ms. Oddo is an amazing piano teacher. My 12 year old daughter did not have any piano experience when we started. We are only a month in but my daughter is really enjoys her piano time. Ms. Oddo is patient and really knows how to explain things that make it easy to learn. As a parent I am excited to watch the development.

Ms. Oddo of Creative Keyboards takes the time to learn the individual needs of each child and builds in little changes to her curriculum that speaks to each child in a special way. Her personal investment in each child's success along with the quality recitals, holiday party, and Summer Camp at this historic studio location is a reason to choose Creative Keyboards as any child's musical home to learn and grow their talent and skill.

I cannot recommend Crystal highly enough. I knew about her through friends and contacted her to teach my 9 year old boy. At that time he was already tired of doing piano lessons and wanted to quit playing. Amazingly, after starting lessons with Crystal, he started playing with a renewed passion and never brought up again his wish to stop playing the instrument. Crystal taught him all the way through high school, helping him to complete CM level 10 with honors ! Crystal is an amazing teacher and motivator. She also  genuinely cares for each and every one of her students. My children are very fond of her and have great memories of her summer camps.
