“We were so pleased at how he prepared her for her first recital. She was anxious and hesitant to play her piece with both hands but his confidence in her made all the difference. At only 7 years old, her first performance was a memorable success! Evan is approachable, organized and flexible. He's efficient, making good use of the lesson time to cover so many aspects of learning piano.”

“Mr. Evan is kind and polite. I have lots of fun learning to play songs I know. I was so happy when I learned to play “This Girl is On Fire” from Sing 2. He gives me lots of choices of what songs to learn. Other kids should learn to play piano because once you know a song it's so fun to play it whenever you want.”

“My kids began taking lessons with Evan about nine months ago and their skill development has been phenomenal. Although each kid came in at a different skill level, Evan has been able to customize lessons to help each one advance at an unexpectedly rapid pace. The kids love Evan's methods of teaching and the point program he uses to incentivize regular practice.”
Philip · parent
“I like playing pieces that are varied in emotion, which is why I like the Romantic period the most! Hoping to learn a variety of pieces to get to level 10 in CM, including Clair de Lune, Chopin Nocturnes, and Beethoven Sonatas.”
Johann
“My favorite part about lessons is learning new songs. The Chopin A Minor Waltz was my favorite, I liked the dynamics and the fast parts. My goal is complete the next level of Certificate of Merit.”
Joseph
“I like learning songs and playing them for myself. It feels good to play songs for myself. I'm hoping to accomplish Level 2 soon and I hope to get to level 10. I want to play Fur Elise one day.”

“Mr. Evan is such a gem. He makes learning piano rewarding and fun. As a total beginner, it was encouraging to be able to play songs so soon into the lessons and be able to learn the music theory as we went. He asks great questions to figure out what you need to be successful and gives personalized tips and tricks. It's hard to find great teachers. I'm so glad to have found Mr. Evan.”
“Our kids (ages 9, 9, and 6) have been taking lessons with Evan and Player One Music Studio for almost four years. In that time, they've gone from having zero experience to being able to sight read, play various classical and pop music pieces, and are also working on developing perfect pitch.”
“I've been taking lessons as an adult at Player One for about 3 months now and I've made HUGE progress in the last 3 months. If you don't want to read the rest of this long review, just know that Player One has the perfect combination of engaging lessons that mix a little bit of everything you could want. It led to incredible progress for me in a short time.”
“I signed up for lessons with Evan on my 59th birthday. It has always been a dream to play again. I was in elementary school and lessons were boring and I had better things to do. I was very nervous that he would be able to teach an old dog new tricks. This brings me so much joy. I am actually able to play Rocket Man by Elton John, and I still can't believe this is coming from my old fingers.”
“Our 3 kids have benefited and grown in skill and appreciation of music because of their piano teacher, Evan Kliewer. He is very knowledgeable and knows how to connect and help each child thrive in their own abilities. He is patient and will offer great advice to support each child. We are lucky to have had Evan be a part of our children's lives for the last 3 years.”
“I've been taking piano lessons from Evan for three months now, since February 2025, and I'm really enjoying it. He actually took the time to ask me what I wanted to learn, and he came up with a learning plan that fits my style just right. In just a few months, I've picked up the basics of chords and can play two songs that I love.”
