Our Students Love Us

Gemma H.
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
Diana A
I didn't know anything about music/piano. I signed up for a complete beginners course and got matched up with John. He is amazing! Super patient, super intelligent, super talented and always excited to teach new things. I'm four lessons in and I'm having a blast.
Benjamin Beyer
I've been a studen at Knauer for about a couple years now ever since my old school went out of business, and I couldn't be happier with my experience here thus far. Lovely pianos everywhere you look asking to have a conversation with your hands, and a staff that is kind, understanding, and welcoming of all from any realm of musical background. Highly recommend Luke if you wish to expand your piano mastery!
Paul C.
Great lessons! Jeremy is fantastic with my son. He explains everything very well and sneaks in music theory!
Andy Watson
Knauer music school is the go to place if you want to learn how sing or play any instrument. Each practice room has a high quality piano and every single teacher will give you a high quality lesson. Ashley makes it easy for you to find the right teacher for your musical needs. I would give this place ten stars if I could.
Joanne L. S.
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!
