Testimonials

“I have been taking violin lessons with Dr. Namazi for a couple of years now, and started an accelerated program recently to advance quicker. He has helped me improve very well, and is a very good, supportive teacher. I look forward to having lessons with him and improving at violin.”

— Nousha A.

“I'm an adult student, new to piano. I have taken lessons with Dr. Namazi for the last two years and have found him to be incredibly knowledgeable, professional and pleasant. He has made playing the piano a fun and enjoyable experience for me, while he has also been very flexible with my hectic work schedule. In addition, my teenage daughter with prior violin experience has also been taking lessons with Dr. Namazi, in order to improve her skills. Within a couple months of these private lessons, my husband and I could hear noticeable improvement in her playing. We have been extremely satisfied with our experience through Dr. Namazi and have referred many other students at all ages, who are also very satisfied with their great experiences.”

“I’ve been taking lessons with Dr. Namazi for over a year now, and I can personally say that he’s the best music teacher I’ve ever had. After being taught by Dr. Namazi I understood how much my previous music teachers brushed past certain concepts that should’ve been discussed in depth. Dr. Namazi will teach you music from the ground up and I would recommend him for any skill level as everyone can learn something from him.”
