PAUL HOWARD BURNS'  STUDENT RECOMMENDATIONS - 

"I began studying with Paul Burns a few years ago ... While there are many things I relish from my lessons with Paul, including his warmth, his knowledge and his musicality, it is his unique approach to piano technique which emphasizes muscle relaxation, great flexibility and economy of effort, all of which result in greater ease of playing. I started learning this technique while studying a Chopin Etude I had never played before. I was amazed at the results. I wish I had learned his technique decades ago. But I am thoroughly enjoying the challenge and results of learning something new and exciting.” 
                                                ~ Barbara Levin, Wife of Senator Carl Levin

"My lessons with Mr. Burns were very informative, interesting, and above all, they gave me more motivation to practice which improved my piano playing immensely. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is serious about the piano. His demonstrations of certain passages, his humor, and patience were very beneficial in making me a much better piano player. Taking lessons from Mr. Burns was a very enjoyable experience!”      ~ Lorraine Tamm
