If you want the best experience and knowledge in theory or just how to play piano you'll get it from Mr. Lansdale. Over the 11 years I have studied with him on the different technicalities of playing the piano, learning certain complex theoretical attributes it takes to understand musical pieces, and giving you the confidence to play the piano piece you practiced in front of a large audience; I feel I have learned more than just going to a school that you'll have to pay much more for and getting less information not even close to what he teaches. He also treats you as if you are his only student and is very passionate about molding you to the best pianist you can be. So if you're interested in taking your knowledge of piano to the next level, then I highly recommend you let Mr. Lansdale take you there... because he will."
I have been one of Mr. John Lansdale's students for around 7 years and he is the best piano teacher that I have ever had. He is a teacher who is very committed to the success of his students. In addition, he is very knowledgeable in both jazz and classical music as well as music theory. He is very thorough in his instruction and he will help you to perfect your skill. I believe that Mr. Lansdale is the best teacher in Jacksonville."
Mr. John is a knowledgeable, energetic and fun teacher who imparts good techniques and at the same time instills a lifelong appreciation of music. He is extremely professional and responsive, yet warm in his communication style. Mr. John started out teaching our daughter and now is teaching our other three children. He was able to inspire them to make steady progress, week over week, even when working on challenging pieces beyond the point that they were new or fun. He gave constructive, creative, practice tips. He helps them find their own techniques that enables them to get over specific hurdles. He expects them to do better, and they did and still are, Mr. John is a fantastic teacher - if you have the opportunity to work with him, whatever your child ‘s age, be prepared for major progress ahead!"
I’ve been a student with Mr. Lansdale for eight years, and I have learned so much about the piano with him; I’ve learned how to play and read notes, learned about scales and chords and learned the ins and outs of key signatures. Mr. Lansdale is a terrific teacher; he is responsible, dedicated and kind. He is very experienced with piano and music theory. He explains concepts very well, making the hardest material sound simple and easy. I’m glad he is my teacher, and I think you will like him and learn a lot from him too."
As a student of Sir John for nearly 5 years, I have learned a lot from him. He teaches me lots of important things, such as remembering theory, practicing scales, and practicing hands separately on any piece to master it. He is also very kind to his students. Along with all of this, the lessons are a good price! Sir John is flexible with my schedule and he always pushes me to do my best and reach for my dreams."
John has been my daughter's piano teacher since she was five. Although she took a break down the road, there were no hesitations coming back to John’s class when she was ready to get back to it. John is the type of person who puts his pride in his work. He goes above and beyond to make sure his students are on track. He has a genuine intention on his students’ improvements and wouldn’t mind going extra miles. Besides the fact that John is a passionate and engaging teacher, what really differentiates him from the rest is he has the special ability to bring out the best performance of his students. His sincere dedication motivates my daughter to do her best on every lesson even on distant learning."
In my opinion, Mr. John is one of the finest piano teachers in Jacksonville, Florida. Throughout the 10 years of experience in piano, I have learned that he is a reliable and good-hearted teacher. Without his support in his teaching lessons, I wouldn't be able to play very difficult pieces, such as "Clair De Lune." Having Mr. John as my piano teacher was one of the best decisions I made as a student. I hope that he will gather more students so that they can see how promising Mr. John is as a piano teacher."
John is a wonderful teacher, he individualizes his approach to suit the student's level of knowledge. He has a great attitude encouraging the kids, really patient and always challenging the kids to be better. We love that he is a professional and understands the steps it takes in becoming a good piano player. Thank you for all you do!"
I have been taking music lessons from Mr. Lansdale for about 9 years. It has been a rewarding experience. I love jazz, however, Mr. Lansdale has taught me to appreciate the different genres of music. He also takes the time to teach music theory that helps me understand how musicians and composers make music. Finally, he gives me words of encouragement when I need them. I think he's an excellent music teacher."
My time learning piano has been very enjoyable. Every lesson I take offers some new knowledge or reinforces my current skills. The teacher John Lansdale is always available to support me if I need help and keeps me engaged in the topic at hand. Overall, my experience as a student has been great and I am looking forward to continuing lessons. Thanks for the lessons. See you next time."
John has been a very good teacher. He has been working with my son Paul Sajous for the last 6 years. He is very knowledgeable and patient with his students."
My experience with John has been a really good one. He is very chill, has a huge amount of knowledge and he teaches good rhythm. He knows what to do for each student to improve and myself included. John knows what to do so I can improve and become a better musician. He teaches music very well and always manages to meet the mark so I can have a good time playing the piano. In general a great piano teacher who cares about music, highly recommended. 10/10."
Mr. John Lansdale has been my son and daughter's piano teacher for 10 and 3 years respectively. He is an excellent teacher who loves to teach and cares. He takes time with his students and motivates them to learn and practice. My son and daughter have progressed very well and can play many famous classics from Bach, Chopin, Beethoven, Debussy, Mozart, as well as modern pieces. I love to hear my children playing Chopin's nocturnes at night."
I am 15, John has been my music teacher for about nine years now and I have learned everything I know about music from him. He is an amazing teacher. One of the best parts about learning from John is that he doesn't just teach you how to move your fingers to play a piece, he teaches you how to understand the music so you can use what you know to play other pieces. I love learning music with John and have loved it since I was 6 years old."
In my 8 years of piano, 7 years have been with John. His help through all of those years has allowed me to progress further into music than I originally thought I could. He has been very nice through all of our lessons and has pushed at times when I skipped on practicing. Overall John has been a great teacher that has taught me music theory, a vital aspect in being able to play any piece with an understanding of how to make my own."
An amazing teacher. Mr. John is a knowledgeable and adept pianist. His professionalism and eagerness to help his students have made the lessons more fun and challenging. His teaching methods allow his students to explore the depth of music in theory and other areas. In general, his lessons are valuable and rich in quality at a reasonable fee. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in taking piano lessons at all levels."
Both of my boys, Alex and Ander, have been with Mr. Lansdale for about 6 months. They started their piano lesson about 2 years ago with another teacher. However, a while after I didn't feel like they had improved their skills, and they still stayed at a very beginner level. Ever since we decided to switch to Mr. Lansdale, I can certainly feel they are actually playing piano with songs and can read notes a lot better. I’m happy with their improvements and enjoy Mr. Lansdale as a reliable piano teacher."
John Lansdale has taught me more in one year that any other teacher I've ever had before. His classes are very effective and he explained things in a way that every student can understand. I had trouble with a certain topic and he gave me the best class ever. I would really recommend him."
Mr. John is the best teacher, by far, that I have ever had. He explains all material phenomenally and has no trouble helping you understand any piece he has assigned you. He is a very talented pianist and I would 100% recommend him to anyone who is looking for a piano master."
I've been a student of Mr. John Lansdale for 3 years. He is very knowledgeable. He's strict, but still kind and patient. He truly cares about his students' learning."
