My son had a great experience learning piano from a music teacher at this school. The classes are always fun, engaging, and challenging enough to keep him interested and motivated.

Update (almost a year later): passed RCM exam, seeing great progress.

Update: (another year letter) my son now studies on his own without my participation, and is chugging along piano adventures 3b

My eleven year old daughter takes guitar lessons with Charles and loves it. She did a Summer Band Camp and is about to start her first Rock Band, all through Kaleidoscope. It's great to see her so excited to play! Charles' focus on performance and helping kids learn songs they want play really clicked with our daughter. He's the instructor I wish I had as a kid 🙂

“I love taking piano lessons with Mr. Peter Adams because I can now play many of my favorite songs, like Fur Elise and Moonlight Sonata.” – Nate Jr., 13 years old, taking lessons for 2 years

For the past 2 years our oldest son Nate has been taking piano lessons with Peter Adams. We were so pleased with his progress that we decided to have another one of our children take lessons with him, too. Quincy just completed his first year and is also progressing quite well. Peter is very professional, personable, positive and a great listener. He has been an amazing teacher to our children. Not only are they learning to play piano, they are also working on music theory, ear training, transcribing music, music composition and more. We are extremely impressed with Peter’s ability and desire to adjust his teaching style to what is suitable for the student. His approach is effective and the results are terrific. We LOVE the sound of live music flowing through our home daily; it’s truly a blessing. If you’re looking for an excellent piano teacher, we highly recommend Peter Adams.

My son has been taking piano lessons from Peter for a couple years now. He loves learning from Peter--he always make it fun, and he is always so impressed with Peter's comprehensive understanding of music. He never balks at teaching something new, even if he doesn't have sheet music for it! Teaching Hayden to learn music by starting with the chords is very inspiring and keeps him wanting to come back for more! Very pleased with Peter's knowledge, ability and teaching style.

My daughter, an intermediate piano player, has been taking piano lessons with Peter Adams at Kaleidoscope School for more than a year. Peter has been instrumental in helping my daughter learning different music genres, and advancing her piano performance skills. Peter is an extremely patient, kind, and experienced piano teacher, who focuses on learning about his students' personalities, learning styles, and hearing feedback from students and their families. We have been very satisfied with Peter as our daughter's piano teacher and would highly recommend him to anyone who has a passion for piano.

My 12-year-old daughter loves taking guitar lessons at Kaleidoscope! She’s already playing songs from her favorite musicians, and next year she wants to be in a band! Charles, her amazing instructor, is organized, flexible, and very knowledgeable. He’s also great with teaching kids. My daughter leaves guitar class wishing she had it everyday. Thank you, Kaleidoscope!

If you want the best music teachers in town, come to Kaleidoscope!
Otherwise go elsewhere. 🙂
We tried "elsewhere" and let me tell you, didn't even compare to Charles!
He is awesome! My 13 year old daughter takes guitar lessons from him and she is also in one of his bands.
It is great to see your child have so much fun and be able to put to use all the hard work they put in. Charles has tons of "gigs" for the kids in the rock bands. They are amazing!

Peter Adams has been such an amazing inspiration to our daughter and has really helped to develop her passion for music. It has been with Peter's guidance that she has gained the courage to compose music as well as to truly LOVE the piano. She had two teachers previously (in CO) and I can sincerely say that the growth I’ve seen in her during her time with Peter has been immense comparatively and I attribute that to Peter's passion and laid back approach…he is a true a musical mentor!
