Testimonials

Will is a wonderful, highly skilled teacher who knows how to work effectively with students of all ages & abilities. I first began lessons with him on guitar, having not played piano or read music for more than 40 years. Will helped me attain a level of proficiency I never thought possible on the guitar, and I gained so much confidence! Eventually I decided to take up the piano again, and progressed quickly to much more challenging music thanks to Will’s patient guidance. He is incredibly knowledgable about all styles of music. As important to me is Will’s focus on technique to try and bring out the musicality whatever the piece. I can’t recommend Will highly enough, and have learned so much from him.

Holly - Guitar and Piano

Will is a remarkably adept teacher. I came to him as a raw 62 year old beginner on piano and he has steadily, patiently opened the door to the world of music. He has a method that works, developed and refined over 40-plus years of teaching. His commitment to building a strong foundation of theory, coupled with an insistence on playing properly gives me the courage to continue the journey. He’s also fun to hang out with. I would recommend Will to any student of music at any level.

James Reynolds -Piano

I began taking piano lessons with Will Goldstein at age 7 and continued through my teens. He is a flexible and patient instructor and always challenged me to learn and perform works from Beethoven to Debussy. Over the ten years I studied with Will, I acquired from him a foundation for musical knowledge which has immensely helped me pursue a jazz studies degree at the SRJC. I wish to continue studying music at a higher level of education after graduation.

Julian Sicaud – piano

Will Goldstein is a fantastic music teacher and musician! His wisdom of music shines through when he teaches my granddaughter. He has provided her with lessons since 2005. I’m excited to see my granddaughter’s growth in her love of music. Wills gift in music motivates her to pursue her love of music. I highly recommend his services to others.

Carolyn Hayward

Will is a great teacher! I’ve been a student of Will’s for over 7 years on the guitar and over 4 years on the piano. I look forward to continuing to learn new things from him. His knowledge about music makes me excited to practice and attend my lessons. Will’s teaching style is done with a smooth pace. I feel like he knows how to teach me to play anything!

Cancellation Policy

This studio practices a 24 hour cancellation policy.

All late same day cancellations of the lesson time must be fully compensated. Please try to give 24 hour cancellation to avoid being charged and to reschedule a make up lesson.

Why?

1. 1) It makes teachers better. The cancellation policy protects the time, energy, devotion and hard work of teaching. Teachers can then maintain a high level of passion, devotion, and health in helping students achieve their goals. The policy respects and guards the energy of teachers when ample notice for cancellation is given.

2. 2) It makes better students. By placing importance and responsibility on students in respecting their lesson time students maintain a deep commitment and professional understanding of the student-teacher relationship.

Will Goldstein at Zoom Music Lessons USA is a professional that has been trained in music for many years and has been teaching for many years. From personal experience we understand the frustration of missing a lesson and paying for it. We have also learned to respect our own teachers by honoring their cancellation policies. Learning to respect the hard work of other musicians is part of being a growing musician of integrity.

I appreciate your understanding of this policy. Know that I care about and respect each of my student’s lives, goals and unique situations. Enforcing the cancellation policy is not meant to be taken personally, but is part of honoring you the students, the teachers and the art of music. Thank you for your understanding and respect of this music studio.
