Testimonials

Here's what some of my students and their families have to say about their learning experiences:

"My daughter had never played the piano before starting online lessons with James A. Norkawich during Covid-19. James A. Norkawich has been great! Lessons are surprisingly smooth over video conference, and we were able to quickly get the one or two music books James A. Norkawich recommended. We are thankful to have this learning opportunity during our time at home." - Sarah, Michael, and Emily

"James A. Norkawich has been a fantastic music teacher for my 10-year-old son. In only about a year and a half, he's made so much progress. Lessons are just as productive as in person but twice as convenient! We highly recommend him!" - Jessica and Ethan
