"I'm a 69 year old retired grandma who wanted to relearn to play piano. I took lessons when I was a child and immediately after I retired but covid put an end to that. I then started with Carlos and have really enjoyed his laid back attitude. I'm learning just for me and my enjoyment...not a recital...not to perform. I already knew the basics but still had so much to learn. We are working through the Adult music lesson book and also on my rhythm. I also pick songs that I just want to learn from Christian, to country, to oldies. He throws in a little music theory as well. He never gets tired of my many questions of "why" and always offers various ways to practice to learn the material. I know his students range from elementary age kids to us old folks and everything in between. I highly recommend anyone who wants to learn to play in a calm and upbeat atmosphere to seek out his instruction. "

"Working with Carlos has made a big difference for me. As a young adult with ADHD, I’ve found him to be incredibly patient and understanding, and he’s helped me improve my focus and listening skills in a way that actually sticks."

"Our son has been taking lessons with Mr. Carlos for almost 3 years. In that time we have seen so much growth in not only his musical skill but also his confidence level. Mr. Carlos is incredibly patient and kind, fostering a fun environment while still building strong musical skills. He focuses on building relationships with his students, bringing my son’s interests into each lesson. Mr. Carlos is also very accommodating, working at the my son’s pace while keeping him motivated."

"We have been so grateful for the experience our son has had with Mr. Carlos. He started when he was 4 and is still with him at 6! Teaching a 6-year-old requires a special kind of patience, and he brings! He consistently demonstrates compassion and understanding, meeting our son where he is and finding creative ways to keep him engaged and excited about learning. Mr. Carlos has been wonderful to work with and has made communication easy. He is responsive, thoughtful, and truly invested in his students’ growth. Lessons feel positive and encouraging. Part of starting music at a young age is growing confidence and we have seen our son demonstrate his knowledge for us and for our family. Most importantly, we adore Mr. Carlos. It’s clear that he is a talented musician, a great teacher and a joyful person. We are blessed to be able to work with him."
