Students are given unique opportunities for music making. This student played the piano part on a Christmas Cantata, while I played the organ - listen to some of that performance on the About Me page.

Testimonials

 Mr. Thomas is a fantastic teacher. He has worked wonders with my teen daughter’s voice. He excels in musical knowledge and is really good at balancing constructive critique with genuine praise. I highly recommend him!

Seth is a fantastic piano teacher that is encouraging and supportive. I want my kids to love and play the piano just like him. I highly recommend him if you are looking for a great pianist to teach your child.

Chris D. (mom)

Our daughter, 14, is starting her sixth year of working with Seth, and she's taken piano with various teachers for several years now. We have been grateful for all of these teachers, but to be honest, I don't think any of them has connected with our daughter like Seth has. This is not a criticism of any of them but a credit to Seth; he just understands our daughter and can communicate with her in ways that I don't think any of the others have ever quite managed. Our daughter can be a perfectionist, and Seth knows how to talk her through moments of frustration and encourage her to embrace more of a growth mindset. Both of us are teachers, and we've both been struck by Seth's thoughtful way of talking our daughter through her sticking points and also encouraging her to take on challenges. Our daughter is learning more than just how to play the piano--she's learning self-discipline and responsibility and gaining resilience. We love that she is picking up on transferable skills that will serve her throughout her life, in addition to a hobby that she will love and enjoy forever. Finally, I think it is a testament to Seth's work with our daughter that we've asked her on several occasions, including this year, whether she wanted to continue with piano lessons, scale back her lessons, etc.--she always wants to continue. It's really something to inspire that kind of dedication in an 14-year-old with so many competing options to spend her time on. Thank you so much, Seth!!

My daughter has been taking piano lessons with Mr. Thomas for 7 years now. She is 13 years old. She absolutely loves and enjoys attending lessons. He is a very patient and meticulous teacher. Mr.Thomas will explains even the smallest of details so my daughter will understand the music more. When my daughter makes mistakes, he will continue to push her until she fixes it. He also makes lessons enjoyable and will often make my daughter laugh. I strongly recommend taking lessons from Mr. Thomas.

Mr. Thomas has taught my daughter for 7 years. Mr. Thomas is a dedicated teacher who speaks softly, kindly, and with much encouragement. He has helped my child increase in skills and confidence. We love Mr. Thomas!

Chrissie B. (piano mom)

Mr.Seth has been a pure blessing to our children. Our 15 year-old learns piano from him and our 13-year-old takes voice lessons. Mr. Seth teaches them with such sincerity and dedication. He helps them understand and make changes from within. He is gentle and patient and always positive. When we first approached Mr.Seth, he gave our kids a trial session and they immediately liked him and wanted to learn from him. We tried 2 piano teachers before we decided on Mr. Seth for our kids. He even took the time to go with us to check out a few used pianos to help us make a decision, which is extremely generous of him. Mr. Seth is very professional, systematic, and listens to our requests and helps our children want to learn to play well. I would highly recommend Mr. Seth Thomas to anyone looking for a truly dedicated, talented, and patient piano and vocal teacher.

I strongly recommend Seth Thomas Music Studio, Seth is a great teacher to my very energetic and talkative 7 yr. old, I can hear him interrupting Seth to tell some story or other, and Seth is always very gracious in his ways of getting him back to focusing on the lesson. Playing piano calms him down when he's upset (my son, not Seth, haha..but I'd bet Seth too!), works like magic every time, you can hear him starting to play all mad and pushing the keys too hard and eventually calming down. I've been happy with his progress in the last 2 yrs he's been taking classes with Seth, first in person, and now via Zoom, which has been surprisingly effective!

Mary P. (piano mom)

My son and my daughter both have been taking lessons with Mr Seth for about 4 years now. He is knowledgeable and most importantly very patient especially with a new student. My kids definitely are enjoying his lessons. He has had some great musical discussions with my kids and talked about music from all types of genres! I highly recommend Mr. Seth for In home or online piano lessons your child!
