For over a year and a half, I’ve been studying piano with Brian Goral—and it’s been an enjoyable experience. Returning to lessons as an adult felt intimidating at first, but Brian’s warm, patient approach put me at ease from the start. I tried a top-rated online course, but there are many styles and playing nuances that Brian has taught me that simply don’t translate over the web. What I like most is how he tailors his lessons to my taste in music and gently pushes me into new genres to build my skills. He introduced me to composers like Burgmüeller and Czerny, whose work I now enjoy alongside my favorites. With his instruction I felt confident enough to take a Musical Teachers’ Association skill level exam which was personally rewarding.
