I never played an instrument as a child, but I had always wanted to learn to play the piano. So, in my mid-thirties I made it a New Year’s resolution to start taking lessons. Now, four years later, I still enjoy lessons, can read music, and with practice, can play some of my favorites. I appreciate Paul’s patience, expertise, and teaching style. I didn’t just learn to play a song, I learned to play music and understand a bit of music theory
As an older student who¹d allowed her piano to molder for more than a decade, I was supremely delighted to find a teacher who provided the rigor I needed, but with a good dose of flexibility to accommodate my musical tastes and stiff fingers. Paul¹s knowledge of the piano is a beautiful thing, but that would be of little use to the struggling student without teaching talent. We¹re fortunate to have a teacher-musician of Paul Cotugno¹s quality in our community.
I took lessons with Paul for about 8 years, and enjoyed every minute of it. Not only was I able to improve my musical skills, but I also gained a greater love and appreciation for music as well as experienced personal and creative growth. I wouldn’t be the person I am today without piano, or Paul’s support as a teacher.
My Daughter is eight and has been taking piano lessons from Paul for one year. In that year she has learned to read music, play difficult pieces and has definitely improved her focus. In school she is always in musicals and I believe piano has helped her get the parts. I love watching her grow musically.
Paul is a wonderful teacher and mentor. My daughter loves going to her lessons! She looks forward to it every week. I would recommend piano lessons from Paul to anyone. He is the best!
My son has been taking piano lessons with Paul for almost 11 years now. Paul is the main reason that he has stuck with it so long! When I asked my son what he liked about taking lessons from Paul, he replied, “Paul makes it fun, it doesn’t even seem like a lesson. It’s more like a hobby that I enjoy.” Paul has helped my son not only improve in playing the piano and mastering certain pieces, but also has taught him technique – how to sit at the piano, how his hands and wrists should be positioned, what different musical terms mean, how to play pieces using chords, and how to hear and identify pairing of notes. He is an incredible piano teacher and musician, inspiring his students to develop a love of music and playing the piano, and a great example and mentor for his students!
I would highly recommended Paul for anyone looking for greater achievement and enjoyment in piano studies. Paul is skilled at teaching piano to any and all ages and levels. My two sons have taken lessons from the time they were 6 years
old and continued into high school. Paul has high expectations and makes learning motivating and challenging. He focuses on music theory, musicianship skills and as well as preforming.Paul is very professional and enjoys and participates in playing music in a variety of settings. Because he has this passion for music he is able to make connections with his students and push them to do their best. He is able to find a balance between the student’s interest and other pieces of music that will allow them to learn beyond their current skill level.
