Alyse is not only a talented pianist but a wonderful instructor. My son can be difficult to work with. He is on the Autism Spectrum. Alyse has the patience and understanding needed to guide him through the lessons. He has made leaps and bounds with his technique and performance. He goes to his lessons with a smile on his face.
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 technique 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!
My children and I have been blessed to have Ms. Korn as our piano teacher during the last two years. She is a polished performer, combining virtuoso technical ability with a comprehensive knowledge of music, theory, and history. In addition to teaching us how to play piano, she has taught us how to listen to music. Since I have been her student, I consistently hear new aspects of songs that I had listened to many times before. Ms. Korn also is an outstanding teacher, who is able to effectively communicate her knowledge of the piano to her students. She has the unique ability to relate to students of all ages and skill levels. Her students progress as she sets goals that are both challenging and realistic. At recitals, it is evident that she has prepared her students to be comfortable when performing. Ms. Korn gets my highest rating. I enthusiastically recommend her!
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.
