Our Students Love Us

Rosanna I.
I was looking for Piano lessons for my 6 year old - I checked out a few other options before deciding on Knauer. Well, I couldn't be happier with the location, professionalism, sophistication, classiness and high standards I've experienced with at Knauer. They paired my daughter up with an incredible teacher that worked with our schedule. In just 2 lessons, my daughter is already playing 2 songs using both hands and floor pedals. Just being around those baby grand pianos already puts you in the right mind-set.

This is an awesome school. Teacher Leo Varella is a patient,detailed and smart instructor. I'm so happy that we had my son join this school for bass guitar.


With Gratitude,

The best venue for children and adults to learn and develop their musical abilities! Since he was five years old, my kid has been a Knauer Music School (KMS) member. He began playing the drums and continues to do so under the guidance of fantastic tutors such as Mike and Jake! My youngster is interested in music and is learning to play the piano.

Watching my children develop a love for music and learn so much has been incredible. My son is not only learning how to play an instrument but also how to collaborate with others to make music!

KMS, I appreciate it.

Christiane is an awesome instructor and I highly recommend her if you're looking for a patient and thoughtful teacher. My nephew is energetic and likes to follow his own and Christiane allows him to follow his curiosity while also implementing instructions during his lessons. I have seen amazing growth and I look forward to my son continuing to work with Christiane on his piano lessons

Our teacher, Kim, with Knauer Music School is amazing! She has a warm, friendly teaching style that is fun and engaging, AND she comes to our home, which is really convenient. Both of my sons take piano and violin, and they absolutely love her.

I'm a senior learner and needed an instructor with lots of patience. Larissa was an excellent choice for me. I absolutely loved her style of teaching. She was a confidence builder. Would you believe I participated in two online recitals? Although I wasn't perfect, I got over my nervousness and shared my talent. What a wonderful experience, which gave me a boost out of my comfort zone. Knauer Music School has a wide selection of pianos. It was a candy store of pianos and I loved playing the Steinway and Sons while waiting for my lessons. The staff are wonderful and courteous folks. Here's a tip about the parking. On Tampa south of Ventura Boulevard, you have one hour free street parking. (Read the street signs before walking away from your vehicle.) Be careful when exiting your vehicle. The road is well travelled. So if you have little ones, be mindful of the flow of traffic. Use caution. Enjoy your lessons at Knauer. Whether young or older...like me, it's a cool place to take piano lessons!
