What people are saying about instructor T. H. Gillespie

T. H.'s approach makes learning the piano fun for my children. He has sparked a creative side to my son that I didn't know he had.

We appreciate not only the encouragement and instruction, but the creative and positive ways our son's learning is enhanced.

Recording with T. H. is fun. I get to keep the music on CD...
--Troy Holleman, student

T. H. has a background that combines extensive classical training with a keen sense of improvisation...His profound love of music shines through in every aspect of his teaching. He is always full of helpful encouragement...
--Peg Paulson, student

Over the eleven years I have been studying with T. H., he has taught me how to read classical music as well as improvise in contemporary genres. Last year he helped me achieve a first place at state level ISSMA (Mozart's Sonata in C Major, K545). I can now sit down and play piano and have fun.
