Vytautas Straizys is a dedicated piano player & musician as well as an excellent teacher, especially to young teenagers like my daughter whom he taught for 2 years. He is patient but firm, but also allowing his student to be creative. If there is anything more that I can add to his being a great pianist, it is his honesty to teach his students to appreciate what they are learning and become an inspiration to others because he himself is inspiring. Trust me and try him! You're in good hands!
