Jay Lee
Piano Stamford, CT
"My daughter loves to take classes with Jay because he is very patient and makes the class fun!” - Studio Mom
"Jay is an amazing teacher. So far I went from having no skill in piano and reading to music, to getting better at identifying the notes on the piano keys and reading pretty well. He is not hesitant to show me the intricacies of playing dynamics on the keys, or nitpick my technique. For anyone who is serious about learning piano (like me), I would recommend Jay to them in a heartbeat." - Marco Polanco
"Jay's the man!" - Christian
