Testimonials

Ella is a superb piano teacher. She has been teaching my children for ten years now. I would recommend Kramer’s School of Music to any parents who want their kids to learn piano.

Music is divine that heals the souls. We are most privileged to have Ella as our Piano teacher. Our elder son now in college and my younger son, both are Ella’s students. Ella is a very dedicated, devoted, talented, knowledgeable teacher. Both Ella and Elena are impacting many children’s life through music. We wish them all goodness in their endeavors.

My daughter has been taking piano lessons from Kramer’s School of Music for 7 years now. It has been an excellent learning experience for her. We have an extraordinary teacher and very dedicated to her job. She enrolls students in multiple piano recitals and also helps them take exams so they can move to higher levels. She is the best!

My 12 year old son and 9 year old daughter have been getting Piano lessons from Kramer’s School of Music for more than 6 years. They have a wonderful teacher who is passionate about bringing out the best in her students. Her teaching style has encouraged my kids to love music and learn it the right way. She provides several opportunities in the year, for kids to perform in front of public and make it fun too. My kids love the Halloween recital each year when they get to wear their costumes and play “scary” music. I feel fortunate to have a talented teacher here in our community. If you are thinking of getting your kids into piano, look no further.

My piano teacher has been a wonderful for my 9 year old son. She is not only kind, caring, and very patient, but she truly inspires her students to enjoy learning and to love music. The passion for teaching at Kramer’s School of Music is evident: it can be seen at the recitals where students of many years perform with great skill and excitement; it is evident as she prepares each student for theory tests and performances; and also as she gently encourages frequent practice, attention to details and dynamics, a fun and relaxed learning environment, and a genuine interest in each student and their family. The instructor is an amazing pianist herself and her love and dedication to music is apparent in her teaching. She has a very well rounded approach and includes theory lessons, performance classes, recitals, and competitions as part of her yearly curriculum.

I have had a great experience with taking piano and theory lessons from Kramer’s School of Music. The theory lessons helped me prepare for the MMTA exams and also apply what I learned to the pieces I was playing. I also really enjoy the piano lessons, and I am learning so much. My teacher helps me keep improving the pieces I’m playing and she always has helpful suggestions. She is good at explaining things and helping me understand the theory behind the music.

I have been playing piano at Kramer’s School of Music for nearly ten years now. I began playing in second grade with no knowledge of music, and I think I can say that this education has given me the tools I need for a future in music. Some competitions I have participated in include Schubert Club, Young Artists, Thursday Musical, North Star, and Northwestern, not to mention the numerous MMTF, MMTA and studio-hosted recitals and concerts. I also passed Level 9 piano with high distinction and completed level 4 theory. Through my experience I have learned not only how to excel in music but also discipline and a respect for the arts.

Mrs. Kramer opened the door for my daughter of the wonderful world of classic music. Her great passion and techniques as a piano teacher and most importantly as a great pianist encouraged and nurtured my daughter’s love on piano playing. We can see her skill growing every day. We feel fortunate to have Mrs. Kramer guide and accompany our daughter in this musical journey.

Elena Kramer is the most incredible piano teacher who is kind and nurturing, yet never fails to instill important life lessons of discipline and accountability. She is extremely committed to her students learning, and patiently works with them in building aptitude, interest and skills. We have often marveled at her level of engagement with the students. Our family has thoroughly enjoyed this musical experience with her and we highly recommend all our friends and family to her.

Elena is the piano teacher for both of my kids (10 and 5). She has a unique way of teaching based on the kids’ capability and learning style. Without her patience, encouragement and various ways of inspiring and motivating, my two kids would not be enjoying music so much and take pride in playing piano.
