Teaching

“The guidance [my son] has gotten from you has allowed him to really hear himself and has taught him the importance of thinking about how he wants his music to sound, before he even plays a note. Those lessons he will carry with him for the rest of his days, and his life will be so much richer for it. ” Parent who requested anonymity

“I never thought I could enjoy playing and learning piano so much this late in my life, and none of this would happen without having a great teacher like you.” Peian H, Adult Student

“You are the best piano teacher we could ever dream of, and I am very happy with the progress that Owen has made in the short one-year period with you! Owen is so lucky to have you as his teacher! Yes, all your big and small talks have had great positive impact on him.”  Marin parent

“John communicates a very deep respect for his students while instilling the necessity of rewards of dedication to one’s art. With John, every student’s potential increases exponentially because he is a tremendous artist and a true teaching spirit, committed to inspiring and cultivating his student’s musicianship and love for music.” Annemarie M, Visual Artist

“I like John teaching me piano because he brings out the best in me, and helped me discover how much I liked playing the piano.” William L, Age 10

“I like studying with John because he is a master at his trade. His teaching style is fun and interesting, with a lot of patience and encouragement. Being a 39-year-old beginning student is very difficult, but he helps me realize my potential. The knowledge he brings is incredible and I am left with wanting to learn more and more each week.” J.LR.

Performing

“What can I say..it was magic!!  Thank you so much for allowing me to give our guests such a memorable gift.  I know they will not forget such a performance…such an evening.  I could almost feel the Debussy’s moon appearing on cue! The Gershwin was simply a tour de force.  It was extraordinary to hear the magnificence of the Rhapsody in Blue emanating from the Steinway with you at the control!  Everyone was mesmerized. The glorious Rachmaninoff was the perfect dessert ending to a 5 star dinner. Thank you again for introducing each of these glorious composers to our very special friends.  I know each and every one of them will never forget this performance.”  Private concert venue

“John Boyajy brings the excitement, the zeal, and the creativity to music necessary to invoke the spirits of inspiration and health. Listen with your heart, ear and mind to the transformational music of this great performer.”  Don Campbell, author of The Mozart Effect
