Over 3 decades teaching for music schools and in home private lessons. Here are a few testimonials from my students and Employer: rom: Jaclyn Pinney Date: July 15, 2024 at 10:51:27 AM CDT To: Subject: Client testimony (Claire Pinney) When my daughter began keyboard lessons with Mr. Ron she had never had a lesson prior. Their connection was instant and my daughter began to truly love playing the keyboard. Mr. Ron was always kind and patient with my daughter and my family looked forward to the lessons every week. As her teacher for over 18 months he taught her the basics of the instrument, how to read music, how to write music from ear, and how to create your own. He was easy to reach and flexible with scheduling. My family and I highly recommend Mr. Ron to anyone who is looking for a great music teacher! Jaclyn Pinney (parent of student) mr. Ron was very nice and taught me the basics and things I need to play keyboard/piano. He's very patient and kind and funny and makes learning musical things very fun and enjoyable for me and it gave me another thing to look forward to in my week. Overall Mr. Ron is a great music teacher and is very good at what he does and I do recommend him for people who are looking to learn a new instrument like keyboard or something !! Claire Pinney (student) Date: August 13, 2024 at 2:24:06 PM CDT To: Subject: Recommendation letter To Whom It May Concern: It gives me great pleasure to write this letter of recommendation for Ronald. Ron was a private guitar instructor for my husband for over 18 months. He adapted lessons for my husband who has some memory issues, took time to work on specific techniques, and left him with different items to practice in between lessons. He was very patient having to remind my husband many times over what he needed to be doing or working on. Ron wrote out many different music pieces that my husband was interested in. His ability to adapt and change in an instant showed a truly caring and innovative teacher. Ron was a pleasure to work with during his time with us. He is a caring and innovative individual as well as a great teacher. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me. My cell number is. Rosemarie Lavoie
