“We have been attending Eliason Music for 3 years now and absolutely love it! Not only is Brian (owner and violin teacher) a superb violinist but he’s also a fantastic teacher! He knows how to get the kids to practice and to love playing music. We were excited when the school added guitar as my daughter is learning to play and my kids can attend at the same time. Noah, the guitar teacher, is awesome. He is willing to teach anything the kids want to learn. We can’t say enough about Eliason!”

“Brian is AWESOME! I have known him for over 25 years – we were in junior symphony together. He was always a better musician than I was so I wasn’t surprised when I heard he had started Eliason School of Music. When it came time for me to start music lessons for my kids (now 12 and 9) there was no doubt that I would go to Brian. I trusted him; I knew his was a great musician and even though my kids weren’t going to take violin, I knew he would choose the best piano teachers around and I wasn’t wrong. We had a couple different teachers for my kids and they loved them. They learned so much. At home, my kids would almost fight over who got to practice – Music to my ears, quite literally. They love the piano. The teachers there inspired my kids to be the best they could be. My kids have different learning styles so I was impressed that the teachers could adapt – or Brian choose teachers to fit my kids’ personalities perfectly. We moved out of state so had to stop taking lessons and are so bummed. I keep looking for someone I can trust that can inspire my kids like we had with Eliason School.”

“My daughters have been taking lessons at Eliason for about three years now, one in piano and the other in violin. The teachers at the school always make the lessons fun and what we are most pleased with is the fact that our children really love to play! I also appreciate the discounted rate for families and the free recitals that take place every Spring and Fall. We are very happy with our experience here and we would recommend the school to anyone.”

“My 9 year old daughter has been going to the Eliason Music School for the last one year. During this time, I have seen a remarkable improvement in her playing ability, willingness to practice, and eagerness to go to her lessons. She enjoys Brian’s teaching style. He is patient, creative, encouraging, and at the same time gently nudging my daughter to excel in new areas of her playing. In addition, Brian communicates effectively with parents. He has offered sage advice when it comes to implementing practice routines at home. He has come up with creative, fun incentive rewards and additional motivation for my daughter. I highly recommend Brian and his school.”

John G.

“Since I was 5 years old, I’ve had many music teachers for a variety of instruments and voice. Brian Eliason, my violin teacher for the past year and a half, is by far the most positive and thorough of all. Besides being a talented musician, he just has a way of connecting with students, of any age, so that they too can fall in love with their instrument and thrive. I am always impressed with how well he remembers and empathizes with where I am on my journey with the violin. There are never any judgments; just solid instruction, inspiration and encouragement. I feel lucky to be there. I have also experienced lessons with two other teachers and found them to be just as friendly and capable of providing a great lesson. I can’t recommend the Eliason School of Music enough.”

“My three children have taken violin and piano lessons here for 8 years. Brian Eliason has taught my sons violin in the most professional, patient, and caring manner possible. He is an excellent violinist who knows how to inspire kids and teens of all ages. The kindness and positive role modeling he has demonstrated towards my sons and our family has been foundational, not only musically, but developmentally and emotionally. My daughter has taken piano here for many years and always comes away inspired, happy, and motivated. Her teacher makes learning the piano fun, no matter what the circumstances. In the 8 years we have been going to this studio weekly, I have never experienced anything but warmth, positive regard, respect, and flexibility from these consummate professionals and outstanding musicians.”

“Simply put Eliason School of Music has and continues to be exactly the right choice for my kids. Learning a musical instrument was a non negotiable for me and now my kids. And having been brought up in a musical family with one parent and two siblings in the music business finding the right approach and teacher was incredibly important to me. I found that in Eliason School of Music. Both my kids are thriving in their musical endeavors … one in violin and the other in piano. Brian and his team are first class in their approach and the opportunities they provide their students. I would recommend them to anyone.”

“Jeffrey is a kind and talented musician that has been teaching piano to our now 7-year old daughter, Juliana for 1.5 years. He is adept at finding ways to keep her motivated and focused, which is a challenge when working with young children. He does well with teaching new topics and finds creative ways to solidify concepts, which are vital when learning to play an instrument. He finds her strengths and allows her to be creative, which is part of the art form. We appreciate Jeffrey’s style and patience and would recommend him to any new learner of piano.”

Jackie Shorthill

“Our son has been taking piano lessons from Jeffrey for almost a year now. Jeffrey is dependable, professional, and our son enjoys their lesson time together. We are very pleased with the progress he has made and will continue to make through his lessons with Jeffrey.”

Gina and Cliff Lascink

“My two sons, 11 and 13 years old, have been taking piano and guitar lessons from Jeffery for just over a year now. My husband and I have found him to be highly personable, communicative, and possesses a tremendous amount of patience. My 13 year old son who is learning the guitar is pretty reserved and shy, but Jeffrey’s warm and engaging style really works for him. Seeing both boys grow and learn while taking lessons from Jeffrey has been priceless. My husband and I feel music is important for children and Jeffrey does a great job in finding music that inspires and motivates them to play.”
