What Baker Piano Students are Saying

  • "Jonathan Baker is a true Maestro. He is a master pianist and a master music teacher and taught our son George Erich. He is a great person who is patient, kind, and incredibly dedicated to his students. His love of piano and music is a true gift."

    — Birgit Gill

  • “I've had many music teachers, from private lessons to college professors, but your methods rank the highest. Your ability to articulate solutions, remain patient, and provide positive feedback makes the learning process successful. It's rare to find someone with great playing and teaching ability.”

    — Stephen Cho

  • “I had never played piano before. After two years, I could play my favorite tunes. Jonathan is a great teacher and gives one hundred percent to his students. Lessons are always a pleasure, and I am forever grateful to Jonathan for helping me follow my dream. I do personally recommend him. He is the best piano teacher.”

    — Janas Casas

  • “I cannot think of anyone today who knows more about the piano and its methods of instruction than Jonathan Baker. A life-long student who made his debut with the San Diego Symphony, Jonathan is thorough, kind, patient, and—above all—practical: meeting you where you are and giving you the tools to get where you want to go, whether that is playing for your own pleasure or as a professional. I highly recommend him.”

    — Daniel Shigo

  • "David started his first piano lesson with Mr. Baker over four years ago and is now is playing pieces by Bach, Mozart, Chopin with impressive command. I think this has been very good for our son because his musical skill is something he takes pride in. Mr. Baker's approach to music education has taught our son good study habits, and I think that really made a difference."

  • "We had a wonderful experience at Baker Piano Studio. My now 8 year old simply loved his teacher, Mr. Baker, and always looked forward to his classes. Mr. Baker is extremely patient with kids and deals with them in a fun way so that the lessons and subsequent practice at home never turns out to be stressing. Not only that - he was kind enough to help a naive person like me find a good piano and also refer a great teacher in the town where we are now relocating to. I am so glad we found him and through his lessons my child developed the love for playing piano. We are definitely going to miss him."
