TESTIMONIALS
 I've played piano with my band for many years in London and had heard about John Hardie through jazz circles there. During a two-week vacation in Palm Desert, California, I finally got to meet John, a fellow countryman and jazz pianist, and to work with him at Willow Creek Productions, his music teaching and recording studio. It was one of the best vacations ever. John is an articulate teacher and coach, one who is not only able to tell, but to show.

 John continues to add a new dimension to my piano playing and it brings
me joy to discover new things. It is such a pleasure to learn some of
the secrets of such an accomplished musician.
Gordon Howard, La Quinta
 I have been at Willow Creek since it opened in 2006 and it has been a wonderful experience.
John is a great teacher and an understanding one, especially since learning to play Mozart is
my major goal. I keep coming back because playing the piano contributes to my well being.

"I really liked learning from John and playing and all. It was fun and John is a good teacher. He’ll teach you any song you want to play and let you play it in your own style. I know I will always be in music."
Nyle Lawes, 11, formerly of La Quinta, where he frequently performed with his band, "Solar"
 John is a very good teacher—always encouraging, never demeaning. He not only keeps me
challenged, but makes it fun, and I consider him a friend as well. It’s made a difference in how I listen to music--especially guitar players--and how I perceive it.

"John's love of music, his patience and his gentle insistence,
are the essential ingredients in engaging and retaining the interest
of students of any age. We like the way John takes the time to
explain the structure of the music he teaches, but does not dwell too
long on dry exercises. With John's guidance, our young son's playing
and musical understanding have progressed enormously, all the while maintaining
his interest and natural enthusiasm for music."

 I
have been a student of John's for two years. I really look forward to
my lessons. Not only am I learning to play the piano but each lesson
is a real treat.
John is an exceptional talent and has the ability to "bring it down" to
my level so I can understand and execute. I've never been bored with the wealth
of information and the many different types of music that John has suggested
to help me along the way.
I have learned more from John in two years than I did in the eight years prior
with other teachers. I don't say this lightly-He is the best!
Joan McCabe,

 John is simply the best; a great teacher and friend. I really like learning from him and playing
music with him. I have discovered new ways to play guitar. I enjoy every lesson; he is the best music teacher!
