Dr Certain and Ms Gaby were amazing with our two boys. Our youngest had his first recital with piano at the age of 5 with so much confidence. We were very impressed that from the very beginning they were learning music theory and not just memorizing music. You can definitely tell they both have a love for music and teaching their students. We love supporting small local businesses and we were so sad to leave Certain Music due to our move.

My two girls, ages 7 and 9, have been taking lessons with Dr, Certain for a little over a year. They have made great advances in their playing ability and their knowledge of music theory. He has been a pleasure to work with. We recently performed in a recital with many of his students and there was a wide range of ages and ability. I would highly recommend him for the young or the young at heart!

We love Certain Music. My girls have taken music lessons from a number of other companies, but none that ever seemed worth my money or our time. Dr. Certain teaches a traditional method that includes not just playing the instrument, but also reading the notes, terminology, hand positions, music theory and good practice skills. I am so glad we finally found Certain Music.

My two sons have had lessons for Violin & Piano for one year by Dr. Certain since we moved in Plano from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Actually I was very impressed by his teaching skill and methods, which developed my kids' knowledge and interest towards music theory and basic concept.
Moreover, they really like the class. They don't want to skip the class.
They kept practicing Violin and Piano at home without parents' pressure. With their constant practice, I realized their skill and technique was much improved. I found they truly enjoy their time with Dr. Certain. Last Christmas, there was a recital at the Starbucks near my home. It was such a great blast and fun. All my family really appreciate his efforts and time for my kids. He is the best teacher ever for our family !!

My 8 years old son is taking piano lessons and my 7 years old daughter is learning how to play the violin with Dr. Certain. We love how Dr. Certain teaches to the kids with patience and love. He makes them laugh when he sees that they are getting frustrated trying to accomplish their goals and always encourages them to improve and continue learning, he wants them to enjoy the lessons, and I can see the progress in their learning.
One thing that I really appreciate of Dr. Certain is that he can be flexible with the class schedule, if the kids get sick or for another major reason I can't take them to their lessons in the designated time spot, I can arrange with him another time; this thing I couldn't do it in the academy my son was before, if he was sick and could not go, he lost that lesson.
