TESTIMONIALS:
“I wanted to write and say ‘thank you’ for a great evening of playing. Our guests very much enjoyed your wide repertoire of piano music. Thank you so much and we look forward to seeing you again in the near future.” - Kelli, coordinator for ‘Atlanta Botanical Gardens Patrons Party’
“Allen is a great multi-instrumental musician that is very easy to work with in the studio. His passion for music is obvious. I've witnessed him go from keyboard to guitar to saxophone all in a matter of minutes. He's quick to pick up on ideas I present to him without having heard my songs before. It's an absolute pleasure to work with him.” - Steve, singer/songwriter
“Taking guitar lessons with you has been a great experience for my boys. You've given them a solid foundation for a lifetime of making music, especially sight reading, which was important to me. Thanks, Allen!” - Julie, home school mom
“Allen, you are probably the best piano tuner who's ever tuned any of my pianos. I have one fellow I've been using, and he always leaves at least one or two keys sounding wonky. Thank you for great work!” - Amy, piano teacher
“Dear Allen, my wife and I were reflecting on our wedding day and recalling the significant role you played, literally and figuratively, as our musician. In our initial meeting, you demonstrated the qualities we sought and believed to be essential for a successful event. You were prompt, cordial, articulate, and organized. We were impressed with your knowledge and repertoire of music, especially for wedding ceremonies. You listened to our wishes and understood exactly what we needed. Our wedding day was complete! Thank you again for your leadership and coordination of the beautiful music rendered at our wedding. May you bring the same joy to countless other couples as you brought to us. With richest blessings, Mr. & Mrs. A.M. Jones."
“I had thought about looking you up some time ago to let you know that my son (who you taught for a few years) recently took a music theory class at Emory University. One day he told me that had he not had you for a piano teacher he would have been completely lost in the class-which he summarized as one of the two hardest classes he has taken in 3 years at Emory! He continues to play the keyboard, using what you taught him to pick out some very pretty pieces of music. Just thought people aren't told they're appreciated nearly enough, so I thought I'd tell you that you had done a great job with him and we appreciate it!” - Deb
