We see results that often times brings tears to our eyes as parents when we hear our daughter not only gain more and more command of the piano as an instrument but also develop a deeper and deeper appreciation of music in general. We are convinced that you are helping to create a skill and develop a talent that, at a minimum, will provide our daughter a perennial source of enjoyment throughout her life.
I have been an adult student of Barry's for almost one year. He is very good at teaching fundamentals and I particularly like his attention to the technical details of piano playing. He is great at making complex concepts easy to understand. He has been accommodating to my ever changing schedule, which is important for me. I grew up learning classical piano and now want to learn how to play pop/jazz. This is his area of expertise and so far he has been very helpful. His textbooks are also very well-written and useful.
Barry is a fantastic teacher. I could tell he had a deep love for his craft upon our first meeting. His perception regarding what you need to work on as a student is precise. Follow his lesson plans to the letter and you will earn great results.
Barry is the best! I took my first piano lesson of my life at the age of 31 earlier this year, and now I'm obsessed. I'm so happy to have Barry as a guide. He keeps lessons really fun and engaging, and his lesson materials are terrific! So glad I found him!!
I moved my daughter to Barry for piano lessons after 7 years with another instructor. Here's the basic difference. The other instructor taught Batya how to play songs. Barry teaches how to play piano. He has an excellent series of books that he has authored to provide a framework for the kids to learn. He has extraordinary patience with his students. There is a quiet, structured environment for the one-on-one sessions. The quality of the instruction is top notch. Barry is a real pro who not only loves kids but loves his trade. I highly recommend him if you are considering piano lessons for yourself or for your children.
My 11 year old son Alex has been talking piano lessons from Barry for the past few years. Barry is a highly professional, creative, responsible person. He has unlimited patience for his students, never raises his voice, always explains in the right way and instills a feeling of confidence in his students. Barry has a very effective teaching method based on his own instructional books. Alex is looking forward to every lesson. I really appreciate Barry's hard work in teaching my son!!! If you have the lucky chance to meet Mr Barry Wehrli, please don't hesitate to ask him to be a teacher for your children or even for yourself :))))
I've been taking piano lessons from Barry for the past few years and he might be the most exceptional teacher I've ever had -- incredibly patient and analytical. I've seen strong and steady growth in my skills throughout my studies with him and am very happy with what I've accomplished. In addition to being a great in-person instructor I'm actually more impressed with his published instructional books - esp the Mastering Intervals Book and Piano/Keyboard Technique book. They're all so well designed and challenging, yet rewarding and straightforward.
Barry is one of the greatest teacher I've come across. His teaching style motivates you to learn more and to become a better player. He explains theory when necessary to help his students to have better understanding of certain materials. I've learned so much over the year. His passion for music is what keeps me interested in having him as my piano teacher. I definitely recommend Barry if you want to grow as a musician!
Our older son agreed to take to take piano lessons on a trial basis. After only one month under Barry’s care and guidance,he decided to continue and has enjoyed piano for the past five years. Our younger son is just completing his first year. I’ve seen first-hand how Barry’s originality and personalized instruction carries a project from beginning to end. It is wonderful to see the progress – from a student who cannot read music to one who composes and plays for his own enjoyment.
Barry noted my son’s interest in music at a very young age and was willing to begin lessons when other teachers would not even attempt it. Barry’s lessons have been wonderful for my son. While Barry has high expectations of his students, he displays compassion and patience that I have not seen in other teachers. This makes challenging lessons more palatable and productive. Barry also is very observant and in-tune with his students. For example, he noted that my son has perfect pitch when he was only three. That was a thrilling discovery!
