Wall of Fame MrEvan's Prize Winning Students at Music Teachers Association Competitions: undefined Blue Ribbon Winner! Young Pianist in Certificate of Merit Program, Level 5 Recital Photograph after Recital Photograph!    Mr Evan,   Thank you for teaching my son.!   We began at 3 years, and he was playing before he could read.  My son (who is now 12), continues winning blue ribbons in the Baroque festivals, tests level 5 in theory, and plays keyboards in our worship band. Thanks Mr Evan -  for the great job you've done with him!   Respectfully, Edna Ermisch     Mr. Evan Sachs is an amazing piano instructor.  He transformed our son from a student with potential and talent into a top notch piano player.  Our son has now competed in piano competitions and has won both first and second place ribbons.  Mr. Evan has the gift of identifying each student’s individual interests and abilities and taking him or her to the next level.  In addition, our son’s confidence has soared as Mr. Evan has encouraged him to try new skills and challenge himself with more difficult piano pieces.  By sharing his own love of music and demonstrating his own unique knowledge and talents, Mr. Evan inspires our son to practice willingly and diligently.  We are beyond grateful to have Mr. Evan teaching our son and helping him to foster a love of music that we hope continues throughout his life.  We highly recommend Mr. Evan for anyone needing a well-rounded, kind, passionate, highly skilled and dedicated piano teacher.   Sarah and Douglas Jacobs  MrEvan is the Piano Whisperer....Dr Cheryl MacDonough   We were looking for a Piano teacher in our area with an emphasis in Jazz and Blues for our Son as our Son is preparing to audition for acceptance to The Orange County School Of The Arts (OCSA) Jazz Band program. Thankfully we found Mr. Evan Sachs. Mr. Evan has done a wonderful job teaching our Son Jazz Piano and Improvisation. Our Son loves working with Mr. Evan and he has excelled at a tremendous rate since working with him. In addition to teaching our Son Jazz Piano, Mr Evan has also helped our Son with his confidence in live performances. After meeting and exceeding his audition requirements, our Son was accepted to attend OCSA for the 2014/2015 year -- he is really excited. The specific attention, interest, and knowledge that Mr. Evan gave our Son played the major part in his acceptance to this prestigious school.  Paul Lianti   Mr. Evan is a wonderful piano teacher in San Clemente.  Equally skilled in classical, popular, and jazz styles, he has the rare gift of being able to asses the level of children and adults alike, and provide them with the appropriate technique and repertoire for their continued success and love of music.  I highly recommend Mr. Evan to you or your children for a joyful journey of piano playing. Thanks for the summer lessons Mr. Evan! John Elg, Conductor, Laguna Beach Pageant of the Master Orchestra   After one year of learning how to play the piano, I realized that our daughter Layla was ready or a new instructor.  I diligently researched and interviewed several piano teachers and after speaking with Mr. Evan and receiving multiple recommendations from friends, we decided that Mr. Evan would be a perfect fit for our family.  I couldn't be happier with the progress that she has made with Mr. Evan. He is so motivational and gives her the confidence and encouragement she needs to succeed with the piano.  Each week, he comes prepared and ready to teach new things and to inspire a love of music. Mr. Evan is patient and relates well with those of all ages. Since starting lessons with Mr. Evan, my now seven year old daughter has gained a true love for the piano. She will practice without being asked and has so much love and respect for her talented instructor. He is extremely generous with his time, which demonstrates his true love and passion for being a teacher. After seeing our daughter's immediate progress, my husband decided that he too, was ready for piano lessons with Mr. Evan. It has been incredible to see the quick progress my husband has made in the past year with Mr. Evan. Mr. Evan teaches music fundamentals, but also makes learning fun. We are so blessed to have found Mr. Evan! -Maryam Jessop   Contributed by Priscilla Hoyt, San Clemente MTAC Medallion won by Maverick and Aidan at the Baroque Festival MrEvan's Studio   Evan Sachs is a kind, gentle, extremely knowledgeable piano teacher who teaches very young to older piano students equally well. My highest recommendation. Howard Richman, Professor of Piano Performance, Cal Institute of the Arts   Evan gave my son a great background to music. His piano lessons are not only good musically, but the practice schedule helped prepare my son for the demands of homework, reading and math skills.  --Peggy Lacayo, City of San Clemente Music Director    Mr. Evan was referred to our family by trusted friends...and we could not be happier!  Evan is a magnificent talented musician, but his true gift is his ability to connect with his students and pull that musical talent that is "somewhere" in us all.  I am truly amazed at his patience, dedication and ability to develop our daughter's piano skills. He is always challenging her to achieve her goals via a positive and encouraging manner. We've seen tremendous growth and development in our daughters abilities from day one, " trying to figure out where and what is middle C",  to reading and playing complete beautiful pieces that wows us, grandparents, and friends alike. Nothing is better than seeing your child develop new skills and gaining confidence in new endeavors... and for that,  a big THANKS to Mr. Evan! Simply stated, I highly recommend Evan to any family that wants a caring wonderful world class Piano instructor.  Sincerely, John and Carla Comes  Contributed by Dr Rex and Linda Cheng Jan 2016   We have known Mr. Evan Sachs since our son Garrett who was in 4th grade.  With no prior piano lessons or experience with piano teachers, Evan worked with him one evening a week and today Garrett (a high school sophomore) is an accomplished musician with a broad repertoire of classical, jazz and pop pieces.  We have enjoyed watching our son perform at many recitals...and at the Baroque Festival where he won a ribbon performing a challenging piece.  We have been so pleased that we have asked Evan to work with our youngest son Paul...Paul is beginning to show the same encouraging progress that Garrett showed...   -John Fritz, C.P.A., Laguna Beach I am having a great time with my piano lessons!  Not only am I learning standard classical and popular pieces, but I am also getting the added benefit of branching out into rock and blues.  I had not anticipated learning theory, but all my questions get answered and I feel like I am growing under the direction of a teacher with a very broad knowledge base. John Manzo, Ladera Ranch    Evan's reward system and enthusiasm are contagious and makes her feel excited about her piano lessons. We are so happy to have him as our piano teacher.   Arlene Rhodes, Homemaker | Laguna Beach       Evan is very patient with my two kids. He has a sense of humor, and that's what they need. Just because a piano teacher is a professional does not mean you have to be strict.   Quynh-Anh Tran, Homemaker, Pharmacist | Laguna Beach       I think his teaching his superior because he teaches with heart and true concern. He emphasizes music theory and monitors the progress of the student. He has a genuine love and appreciation for music and what he's doing. My daughter has more pride in herself because of her accomplishments.   Linda Raessner, Homemaker | Laguna Beach       After studying jazz styles with you, just wanted to say thank you for the "keys" to playing the music I love. With your simple, fun exercises I can feel the growth. Learning has finally become fun. I'm having a ball!   Gerry Trafficanda, photographer| San Clemente   Mister Evan is a wonderful piano teacher for both my children.  We have had many piano teachers in the past, and he is by far the best.  He has so much patience and really makes learning fun.  My little boy sometimes struggles with learning new things and has a very high learning curve. Mister Evan has been so patient with him. He really has a knack for working with special needs kids.  I never have a problem getting them to practice and he makes piano lessons fun.  My children WANT to do well to please Mister Evan. .He is a wonderful motivator....   Kelly Moody, Homemaker  Evan is a very patient piano teacher and piano lessons are fun with him. As an adult student, I've needed that.  When he plays, I learn from his example.  I appreciate his calming demeanor.--Betty Van Malsen, Accountant, Laguna Beach.
