As much as I would like to write an unbiased review of Starfish Studios, I'm afraid there are simply no negative aspects that come to mind. I too was concerned and nervous at first about taking music lessons again (having not had any for quite a few years), as the teacher can easily make or break the lessons; I was immediately relieved by Yascha's easygoing, friendly and very patient manner. After a year's worth of lessons, I have learned more than I ever could have hoped for: My technique has improved, my knowledge has at very least doubled, and I can do things I would have never thought possible before with my instruments. If you have something specific that you want to learn, Yascha is more than willing to take you through all the steps of it; and what's more, I was later introduced to all kinds of fabulous styles and music that I would not have been otherwise aware of. It's been said before that often times lessons can feel like a chore, but Starfish is unique in that you not only enjoy your lesson, but it becomes the highlight of your week. I cannot even think of all the times I had started off with a bad day that was magically transformed after just an hour of jamming with Yascha. If you're looking for a more than competent teacher with excellent teaching style as well as chops, proficency in a multitude of instruments and someone very willing to work with your schedule, this is the place to go.\r
