“Little VIRTUOSO gave our eight-year old daughter a great foundation in piano technique and general music theory. The lessons are a nice mix of piano methods, worksheets, and play-along fun. Leon is great with kids, making it enjoyable for her to learn music!”

“Having a small class with lots of immediate feedback from the teacher felt personal and geared exactly to my own learning needs.”
I have watched several YouTube tutorials for piano - but there is no two-way communication possible with those. As a VIRTUOSO student, having a small online class with lots of immediate feedback from the teacher felt personal and geared exactly to my own learning needs. And, I could reach my teacher via email or the private group discussion board between lessons. Thank you, Leon!

“I'm beginning to understand the mystery and magic of how music is constructed - and joining the "dots" so to speak - This course has turned out to be an unexpected joy and adventure!”
I have been taking VIRTUOSO PRO lessons with Leon for about a year now and have found his teaching clear, organized, friendly, and instructive. Because of the weekly meetings, and his systemized, orderly syllabus I feel I have made tentative steps towards reaching my goal of being able to play the tunes I love. The live, online classes are great fun, always thought-provoking and relevant; and Leon's enduring enthusiasm and encouragement are definitely responsible for keeping me focussed, despite the enormous hurdles of learning something outside my comfort zone. I'm beginning to understand the mystery and magic of how music is constructed - and joining the "dots" so to speak - This course has turned out to be an unexpected joy and adventure!

“The group is fun, interactive, and surprisingly achievable; even for a 57-year-old, technology-challenged student like myself!”
I am one year along in Leon’s VIRTUOSO PRO group and continue to revel with a sense of awe that I’m able to make such beautiful music in such a short period of time!
The group is fun, interactive, and surprisingly achievable; even for a 57-year-old, technology-challenged student like myself!
Leon is an extremely knowledgeable instructor with a flexible teaching style, geared to reach students encompassing a myriad of needs. He is always upbeat with the utmost patience, regardless of how often we revisit the same questions!
This online course has been my one constant throughout the pandemic and has proven to be both challenging and stimulating for my “aging brain”!
I’m very glad I took the leap a year ago and look forward to continuing on with VIRTUOSO PRO in 2022!

“I have had many piano teachers for 'non-classical' classes, but none came close to Leon's VIRTUOSO method.”
I have had many piano teachers for 'non-classical' classes, but none came close to Leon's method. While teaching us some theory, Leon encourages us to be creative within the pieces we are learning. He is very flexible, patient, and encouraging and is available between lessons through the discussion board if we need assistance.
