Santa Cruz: Can anyone recommend a good piano teacher? (For Max, 7 years old.) We seem to be having trouble finding any available instructors. Thanks in advance!

Depends on how interested you guys are. I'd recommend Vlada Moran or Ivan Rosenblum. If you remember Lucas Hahn, Ivan was his teacher. http://www.ivanpianolessons.com

Chad, our boys took lessons with Susan Parrish in Scotts Valley. We liked her and the boys learned a lot. I would recommend her, but I don't have anyone to compare her to.

Dr. Noyes I'd reccomend my jazz piano teacher. His name is Robert Mahoney and he is the reason I got into the Kuumbwa honor jazz band in high school and still make music after college. He's the best Jazz piano teacher in town, and an amazing guy. I took lessons from Ivan Rosenblum for years and he's a great classical teacher, but if you want jazz, GO TO ROB. Ivan actually recommended Rob to me. Please take my advice!
