I’m certain that the early lessons I realized at the Riekes Center were integral to helping me achieve what has become a passion and goal of mine: to travel the world and film interesting people and places!

…That’s essentially what you’re trying to do with students; you’re trying to help pass your own excitement on to them. This skill of being able to motivate people and motivate myself will be helpful in life and college too.

There are multiple ways of teaching. The piano lessons I got when I was young were more of the traditional way of teaching. The aspect of improvisation compared to executing a piece in the way it was written are two different skills. I have had a great experience and would definitely recommend the Riekes Center to others.
