"At age seven, my daughter started studying piano and voice with Greg. I have attended all of her lessons, and have enjoyed observing Greg's teaching style. I believe that my daughter's rapid progress has been nurtured by both the way Greg has applied his technical experience, and his gentle manner."

--Mike from Mountain View.

"If you are interested in in-home piano or voice lessons for your children or yourself, we highly recommend Greg Blankenbehler, who has been teaching our boys for several years."

--Patricia from Ladera.

"Greg is FANTASTIC - he has been teaching both of our children on Monday evenings for the past several months. He's a terrific teacher and we highly recommend him."

--Elizabeth from Ladera.

"When I started looking for a piano teacher for myself and my 7 year old son over a year ago, I talked to several neighbors and all of them recommended the same teacher - Greg Blankenbehler. Soon after, we started our lessons with Greg. In addition to having a lot of experience teaching piano and voice, Greg has also done extensive graduate studies in music both in the U.S. and abroad and performs regularly in the Bay Area.

"Prior to Greg, my son was taking group piano lessons and didn't care very much for piano. He became much more interested in piano after he started taking lessons with Greg. According to my son, "Teacher Greg makes it fun". And it's true Greg knows just what to do to keep these young students motivated while going from entry level to intermediate to advanced. As for me, I have really enjoyed picking up piano playing again under Greg's guidance. After only one year, I am able to play and enjoy a much bigger "repertory" and a wide variety of music from Bach to Chopin and even some jazz."

A female student in her mid 20s came to me with a breathy and unstable tone, problems singing in tune, and difficulty singing high but a great desire to sing beautifully. After instructing her how to use her voice correctly and lots of practice, her voice began to improve quickly. After about a year she was singing beautiful soprano opera pieces and sang a solo in a Stanford choir concert that prompted her mother to come up to me afterwards with tearful thank-you’s.

A 6-year-old female voice student started out singing mono-tone in a pinched voice. After only a few lessons we expanded her singing range to over an octave, accurately hitting all the intervals between, and opened up her tone. In her first recital, she sang “This Land is Your Land” to the amazement of her family and peers.

A middle-aged female voice student came to me having never sung much in her life but always wanting to. Her voice was quite raspy and had such difficulty shifting registers that several notes in the middle of her range would not sound at all. I worked with her for some time on singing fundamentals and designed a customized practice routine that has slowly improved her range to over 2 1/2 octaves. Today she is singing the songs she loves and preparing to audition for her church choir.

A male senior in high school came to me to improve his singing in the musicals he frequently performed in. Together we addressed his breathing and support faults, nasal tone and spent a lot of time on his acting and presentation during singing. By the end of the year, the student auditioned for and was accepted into a prestigious musical theater training program and is on his way to fulfilling his dream of performing on Broadway.
