I’m Carissa Vu, and I enjoyed working with Mr. Dustin throughout the last 3–4 years. I was very impressed from the start with the professionalism he brought to each lesson – noticing specific aspects of the music that I could bring out, or the different voices that made up the music. Before I started with Mr. Dustin, I was at Level 3 (going to 4) in Certificate of Merit (CM), but in these last years, I have managed to finish Level 10 with State Honors. Most importantly, though, Mr. Dustin is a friendly, supportive teacher, and truly strives for the best of each of his students.

Dustin have been our daughters piano teacher for years. First we knew Dustin when we purchased a keyboard from BestBuy and they offer 6 free lessons in 2012. We love his teaching technique and his flexibility to do the lessons. All my 3 daughters are his students. His price is reasonable, since 2020, we switched from in person lessons to zoom lessons which is more convenience for Dustin and us.

I have been with Dustin for 4 years now, using both in-person and video lessons. I started with a music background, but zero piano experience. I am becoming more proficient in all aspects of my piano ability and Dustin’s keen ear and flexible methods suit me to a tee! I am an older adult and my dexterity and muscle memory are not as fresh as a younger person; however, Dustin takes that into account and guides me into successful areas of playing. I thoroughly enjoy our time together and expect to continue my piano journey with him!
