My parents and I saw some musical ability in my son at a younger age. When he turned 10, we decided that it was time to have him start taking piano lessons. Piano was what he was interested in learning. My Dad volunteered to look into finding a teacher and this is an activity that he wanted to be involved in with his grandson as he believed the ability to play the piano was a wonderful talent to posses and something that his grandson would be able to do all his life.\r

Enter Chris, my Dad came across Chris Frangos and was very impressed with his personal demeanor, enthusiasm for teaching and willingness to accommodate providing lessons at a convenient time so that my Dad would be able to take my son on a weekly basis. \r

After a few lessons, Dad said to me you have to meet Chris and listen to him play along at the lessons, he is so talented but is also a fantastic teacher and you can't believe how fast your son is learning to play the piano. We are coming up on our 3rd year taking lessons with Chris and my son looks forward to every lesson. Our family feels as if we struck gold in finding Chris as a teacher he is so excellent. Chris is obviously a natural talent but seems to posses a 6th sense with understanding how his student learns and adapting their learning style to understanding how to read the music, understand the roots of piano in learning the jazz and blues and being able to take a song and find a new innovative way to make it their own. \r

Last year when my son was in the 7th grade, Chris wrote the notes for him to be able to play a contemporary song as part of the 7th grade talent show. Most 12 year olds in middle school would feel intimidated to attempt this in front of their peers and teachers, but with Chris' encouragement and amazing instruction, he was confident and enjoyed participating.\r
\r
Any child or adult who is lucky enough to learn to play piano with Chris Frangos will have a very rewarding experience.\r

Thank you Chris for your dedication, professionalism and making the experience of learning to play the piano so much fun!!!! \r
