Feel free to ask questions of Mister Presley or of his students' parents (if you know any), and/or read what follows!

"I've been taking drum lessons with Mister Presley for two years, and he's honestly the best teacher ever!  He's super funny - sometimes, he makes jokes in the middle of practice, and I almost drop my drumsticks because I am laughing so hard!

He's also really caring, because if I'm having a bad day, he notices right away and makes the lesson more fun, so I feel better.  And, he's really flexible - if I don't understand something, he explains it in a totally different way until I get it.  He even changes the lesson if I find a song I really want to try!

I've learned so much from him, and drumming is now one of my favorite things in the world!  Thanks, Mister Presley - you rock!"

"Mr. Presley has been a blessing for our 7 year-old son's piano journey. For over a year and a half, he has been coming to our home weekly, and it's been amazing to see our son progress from never having played to confidently reading music.

Mr. Presley has a wonderful rapport with children. He is incredibly patient and incorporates the perfect amount of humor to make learning fun. His communication is stellar, and he is always punctual.

Mr. Presley is not only an excellent teacher and a great person but also is an incredibly talented musician. Last year, while on a staycation at the Gaylord Texan, we stumbled upon some wonderful live music in the lobby. To our surprise and delight, it was Mr. Presley! We had so much fun listening to him sing and play the piano.

We're excited to continue fostering our children's love for music. We plan to have Mr. Presley introduce drums to our son next and also start working with our 5 year-old daughter who wants to learn the ukulele. We love that he can teach so many instruments so we can continue to work with him."

"We feel so lucky to have found Mr. Presley as our daughter's piano teacher! He is incredibly kind, funny, and patient, exactly the kind of energy that makes lessons something she looks forward to each week. His teaching style is engaging and hands-on, and he has a real gift for explaining musical concepts. He’s great at adapting to her pace and always makes sure she understands before moving on.

Beyond teaching, he's a seriously talented musician himself. We’ve had the chance to see him perform, and it’s fun to watch someone so skilled in action. It’s clear he’s not just teaching music, he’s living it, and that passion really comes through in how he teaches.

Communication is always clear and professional, and he’s just an all-around wonderful person to work with. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a music teacher!"
