Mr. Alburqueque is an incredible piano teacher who is passionate and dedicated in his work with our nine year old daughter. Our daughter has been taking classes for almost a year and she is excited about participating in class and practicing. I personally like how Mr. Alburqueque engages my daughter through virtual classes by using puppets, changing his voice, listening and laughing with her, as well as allowing her to express herself while still providing high quality instruction. Mrs. Joa
We are really happy to have Alex as a piano teacher for our 10 y/o daughter Kira. Kira looks forward to every lesson, and stays motivated practicing throughout the week. Alex is truly passionate about music yet he is very patient and supportive. We could not wish for a better teacher." Eugene Sheyn
“Alex has been teaching our elementary age children Piano for more than 3 years now. He’s a fantastic teacher, incredibly engaging, and our kids look forward to their lessons each week. He’s always been flexible in accommodating our kid’s crazy schedules and that continued during COVID with a completely smooth transition to fully remote lessons. Really couldn’t ask for a better teacher!" Josh
Our 7-year-old daughter loves taking private piano lessons with Alex. I watch her as she enthusiastically engages in each lesson. Alex's distinct technique keeps our daughter focused while enjoying every class. We highly recommend him!" The Kem Family
