Testimonials from our families and students

Absolutely amazing my kid learned a lot here and has gone on to be a professional pianist

Very good highly recommend learned a lot

Great instructor!!!!

Our experience with Brett has been amazing. My daughter enjoys her piano lessons and look at Brett as a friend who knows more about piano, not a school teacher. We love and appreciate Soroush and his team at Naji piano school.

I couldn’t believe how they could break difficult concepts into easy to understand pieces. I highly recommend Naji piano school to adults at any level wanting to learn piano.

Great business and they hire great teachers!

Soroush is a thoughtful and engaging piano teacher. As an adult, finding a teacher that could work with my schedule and actually push me to improve was hard – I thoroughly enjoy every lesson, and I’m getting better at piano every week!

Soroush is simply amazing. Honestly, there isn’t a better teacher for my daughter. He’s incredibly patient and understanding given her age and the progress we’ve seen in her development at the piano but in just her overall understanding in 6 moths has been amazing. I have no doubt he is developing a life long love of music and piano in her. I couldn’t recommend more.

Our daughter has been working with Soroush & his team for about 8 months and they do a wonderful job. Extremely talented teachers and musicians. We were so impressed with how quickly and confidently our daughter took to the piano. Highly recommend!

I’m an adult learner and Soroush has been an awesome teacher. Extremely thoughtful in his approach, very encouraging and patient. Also, has a great sense of humor that makes lessons fun.

I have had a great experience with Naji music school. If you live in Minneapolis and want to learn piano as an adult, do not hesitate to contact them! 5 Stars all the way!

Naji is an absolutely fantastic piano teacher! He has a rare ability to combine structure technique with fun, engaging lessons that keep you motivated.

We’ve worked with Soroush for over 5 years and have seen him grow as an instructor alongside our kids. He’s patient, very knowledgeable, and adapts his teaching style to each child’s personality and learning pace. Our kids not only improved their piano skills but also developed discipline and genuine interest in music. Highly recommended for families looking for a long-term teacher who actually understands how to teach children.

One of the finest piano lessons around Edina would be Naji sir’s.

We had a wonderful experience with Naji School of Music in Edina. He is highly skilled, patient, and truly passionate about teaching.

What really stands out is his personalized approach. He takes the time to understand each student’s goals, learning style, and pace, which makes a big difference in progress and enjoyment. He is also very organized, professional, and communicates well with parents regarding schedules and student development.

My child looks forward to every lesson, and we have seen significant improvement not only in musical skills but also in focus and discipline. I would highly recommend Naji School of Music to anyone in the Edina area who is looking for high-quality music education in a supportive and inspiring environment.

My son has been taking lessons here since September and is already showing amazing progress! I especially want to highlight the incredible approach of teacher Soroush — he connects with every child in a special way. My son is autistic, and finding a patient and understanding teacher was very important to us. Soroush exceeded all expectations. Highly recommend this school! 🎹

Soroush is a fantastic teacher. He is patient, kind, and encouraging. He knows how to keep lessons engaging and age-appropriate for our five-year-old. His teaching methods are thoughtful and effective, building both skills and confidence at the same time. We’ve been so impressed with the progress our son has made, but even more importantly, with how much he enjoys learning from Soroush. We highly recommend him to any family looking for a positive and supportive piano experience.

We have had such a wonderful experience with Soroush Naji. He is an exceptional piano instructor with extensive experience working with children with special needs. His patience, kindness, and loving approach truly set him apart, and he has an amazing ability to meet each child where they are and adapt lessons to their unique learning style.

Soroush is exactly the kind of instructor our community has been looking for. He also works with a team of talented teachers who can provide in-home lessons, which makes learning music so accessible and convenient for families.

One thing we especially appreciate is that he offers a free introductory lesson, allowing families to make sure it’s the right fit before committing.

I highly recommend Soroush to any family looking for a compassionate, skilled, and trustworthy piano instructor—especially for children with special needs. 🎶

The best piano lessons in Edina

Our family feels incredibly fortunate to have found Soroush Naji of Naji Piano School. From the very first lesson, it was clear that Soroush combines remarkable musicianship with a rare gift for teaching. He has an extraordinary ability to connect with students of all ages and skill levels, making each lesson both inspiring and enjoyable.

What stands out most is his patience and kindness. Soroush meets every student where they are, tailoring his approach to their unique learning style. He balances structure and creativity perfectly—nurturing technical skills and musical expression while keeping lessons fun and motivating.

Soroush also communicates beautifully with parents, sharing thoughtful feedback and celebrating every milestone. His passion for music is contagious; our child is not only progressing steadily but has also developed a deep love for piano that goes beyond practicing.

If you are looking for a piano teacher who is kind, professional, and truly dedicated to his students’ growth and joy in music, we wholeheartedly recommend Soroush Naji and Naji Piano Class. It has been a wonderful experience, and we are grateful for his talent and care.

Mr Naji is a patient, compassionate and caring teacher. He knows what the student needs to get better and understand the piano lessons. He is very flexible and practical with scheduling as well. We have been very proud how our child is doing well with piano lessons and developing great skills. We are planning to send our second child soon and highly recommend Naji Piano School to anyone who is looking to start the Piano Journey.

Soroush is amazing. His ability to adjust his technique and teaching skills for each an every student is truly exceptional. He has been very supportive and encouraging for both my daughters who are at very different stages in their learning. His flexibility and ability to adapt and accomodate requests from students keeps the lessons very engaging. The parents are well informed about the lessons. Would highly recommend him

Naji Piano School has not only taught my son how to play from a very technical standpoint, it has taught him to love it. He looks forward to class every week, especially the annual recital. I’ve never seen him more proud.

Cathy has been exceptionally kind, patient, and gentle with our daughter. Would recommend!

Our son started this January and Soroush has been amazing. He is able to see the potential of someone from the 1st free lesson. He is so patient when our little one has so much to say and is able to redirect him back with such gentleness and tact. We are so happy that his first teacher was Soroush. Our son can’t wait to go to his piano lessons every time. He already had his 1st recital. Can’t wait to see what they will accomplish in the future!!!!

We have been so impressed with Soroush! He is a fantastic fit for our teenage son. I love that he lets our son have a say in what pieces he gets to work on, but also pushes him in his areas of weakness – technically and musically. Soroush has a great demeanor, and my son really responds to his style well! The icing on the cake? Soroush is thinking ahead to what will keep our son engaged in the piano in years to come, after he’s no longer taking lessons.

If you’re looking for a piano teacher for a new or continuing student, definitely meet Soroush!!

Soroush Naji has been great to work with! He was very patient with us while we tried several teachers to see which one clicked. They were all nice, but we chose Noah. Our 13 year old son has really been enjoying lessons with him.

Soroush found a teacher for me who can meet me where I am as an adult who hasn’t had lessons in decades, and work with me the weird mix of strengths and gaps that brings.

What sets Soroush apart is his adaptability and flexibility. He personalizes lessons to align with my goals and preferences, ensuring that my musical journey is both enjoyable and convenient. His dedication to nurturing talents in Minnesota’s vibrant musical community is truly commendable.

I’m immensely grateful to Soroush for the profound impact he’s had on my musical journey here in Minnesota. He has not only honed my piano skills but also ignited a lifelong passion for music. If you’re in Minnesota and seeking an exceptional piano teacher, I wholeheartedly recommend Soroush. He embodies excellence in piano education, making him the perfect choice for anyone on their musical quest in the Land of 10,000 Lakes.

Best kids’ piano teacher ever! Fun approach that motivates kids and gets them to enjoy piano without the pressure associated with traditional approach. I’m very impressed with Soroush’s approach to teaching piano; it’s been working great with my little boy!

Soroush Naji is the piano teacher I wish I’d had growing up! He has a wonderful way of holding kids to high standards while being kind and encouraging, making them genuinely excited to practice and improve. He is incredibly thoughtful in how he introduces new music and progresses students to more advanced pieces, ensuring they feel confident and challenged at the same time. His explanations of music theory are clear and accessible, building a strong foundation that supports their playing. I can’t recommend him highly enough!

Soroush is amazing…always so positive and patient! I have 3 children taking piano lessons with him and he is able to connect with each one in a way that encourages learning while also having fun! We feel so lucky to be able to have him teach our children about music. I appreciate how organized and professional he is and how well he communicates with me and my children!

My kids are very happy with Mr. Naji’s piano lessons

“I have known Soroush for a long time, and his deep connection to music, particularly the piano, is truly remarkable. Having played the piano since he was a toddler, his expertise is evident in every note he plays and every lesson he teaches. What sets Soroush apart as a piano teacher is not just his incredible skill, but also his ability to connect with his students, especially children.

He has a special understanding of kids’ needs and knows exactly how to keep them engaged and inspired. He works tirelessly to help his students grow, making each lesson both educational and enjoyable. Whether you’re looking for a piano teacher for yourself or your child, I cannot recommend Soroush highly enough!”

Soroush is an amazing and patient teacher. Always very positive and encouraging with my daughter.

We are utterly impressed. Our daughter loves piano since starting with Soroush – She often asks to put on a little “concert” for us in the evenings after practicing her lessons. She is truly enjoying piano and is so proud of herself. Thank you, Soroush, for your exceptional teaching and work with her. Simply a great investment in our child!

Soroush is great with our kids! They love taking lessons from him and he challenges them to improve each week.

We love Soroush!

My 5 year old kept saying he wanted to play the piano, but he has such a short attention span it was turning out to be quite the challenge to find a teacher that could keep him engaged. Mr. Naji turned out to be the perfect teacher and my son looks forward to his class. Totally recommend him.

Naji is gifted piano teacher, my daughter has been learning for him from past 3 months and she can confidently play piano adding new musical song each week . Naji is not only skilled piano teacher but knows how to engage with kids and drive them towards success .

Soroush is a wonderful teacher. He is firm with my daughter while keeping piano fun and engaging. Not an easy task! We love the recitals, it’s such a wonderful way to see our daughter shine and feel confident.

Soroush is a great teacher. He takes the time needed to connect with the kids and also pays close attention to the details of how they play. Soroush is also fabulous in connecting with the parents, communicates the needs of the students and reflects back on the work they do. I would highly recommend him as a piano teacher.

My son has been taking piano lessons with Scott for over 4 years. Our experience has been great! Scott is able to keep the students interested on learning while actually teaching valuable information.

Mr. Naji is always polite, punctual, flexible with scheduling, and tailors the curriculum to most effectively suit my individual trajectory of progress. He makes the lessons fun, has a great sense of humor, and is a joy to learn from. 100% the best piano teacher I’ve encountered yet in Minnesota. This experience has hands down been one of the most fruitful ways I’ve ever spent my money.

I had an incredible time at Naji Music School, all thanks to Soroush, my piano teacher in Minnesota. His talent and endless patience made learning the piano pure joy.

Soroush customizes his teaching for every student, regardless of skill level. Naji Music School has a welcoming vibe that sparks creativity.

Through Soroush, I not only improved my piano skills but also developed a deep love for music theory and composition. For top-notch piano lessons in Minnesota, choose Naji Music School with Soroush.

I think Soroush is one of the best (if not the best) piano teachers in the Twin Cities. He is passionate about music and patient to teach others, especially kids.

He is a master of his technique, and I would highly recommend for anyone looking to learn music. One lesson is all you need to see for yourself.

Awesome teacher and great learning opportunities!

Amazing!

Soroush is the best piano teacher.

Soroush is an amazing teacher. He has been teaching my kids for over a year. My daughter is learning how to read music before she can even read and my son has found an amazing outlet for his ASD and ADHD in music. Soroush is patient and kind. He takes the time to work with both kids to meet them where they are at and help them to discover a love of music.

As an adult learner, I appreciated how professional and patient Soroush has been with me during our lessons. He’s made me feel comfortable and confident with taking on this new hobby. Thank you so much!

Soroush is awesome piano instructor. We love is style of teaching as it embraces his love and passion for teaching children piano lessons. Soroush is a true professional and our 8 year old daughter is deeply enjoying her experience.

I had been searching for someone to inspire and guide my son until I met Soroush. The first lesson convinced me we were at the right place. He had my son reading and playing the first day, but more importantly, he felt confident in himself.

Initially, since I didn’t get a chance at an earlier age I thought was too late to learn but, Naji treated me with utmost respect & made me feel like it’s never too late to learn & treated me just like any other student. I will continue my piano lessons & wish him the best ! Always recommend & great experience.

Soroush, also goes by Scott, is the absolute best teacher hands down. He has built true and trusting relationships with my children. He can flip a frown to a smile after a hard day at school. He has taught piano lessons that are applicable to every day life lessons. If the kids have a tough week and are not up to par on their lesson day, the kids are always left feeling positive and knowing how to move forward. He communicates well with the kids (2 kids, 2 different communication styles)and makes the lessons fun. He is like family now and we would recommend him a million times over!!! We feel lucky to have him in our lives!!

Scott is amazing. I take all of my kids to him. He’s great with younger kids. He knows how to keep them engaged. He is very patient. He takes extra time to call parents when needed and is available nearly all the time for calls and texts. My kids love lessons from

Scott!!

Soroush has been teaching my 3 kids ages 5, 8 and 9 for almost 2 years. He is an excellent teacher. His enthusiasm & love for music is apparent & in turn, has given the kiddos an incredible introduction to the joy of music. I am grateful to Soroush for all he has taught us & look forward to the continued learning that’s ahead!

Soroush has a knack for breaking down complex pieces into manageable parts, making learning a breeze. His passion for music is infectious, and he has a unique way of making every lesson fun and engaging.

Mr. Naji has proven himself to be kind, patient, and 100% engaged as he takes potential musicians under his wings and shows them how beautiful and fun the world of music is. Creatively he challenges and supports every age level. Highly recommend!

Soroush is formally educated and trained and brings a lot to the table as a piano teacher. Yet his best skill is how he works with your child. He out performs his rate and after reading this, if you pass on him for someone else, that’s on you.

Soroush is a wonderful piano teacher! He is funny, charming, fun but is also serious about his students learning. He has high expectations for his students and doesn’t let my kids get away with not practicing. The perfect combination! We are very happy to have found Soroush through Richfield Community Education!

With a focus on technique, theory, and creativity, he creates a well-rounded musical education. Don’t miss the chance to learn from the best – book a lesson with Soroush today!

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Soroush is a talented teacher and really seeks to meet our twin boys where they are at on their journey of learning the piano, adjusting expectations to keep them challenged while feeling supported and having fun along the way.

To say that Soroush has been a blessing to our family is an understatement. Our son has ADHD, and piano was just what he needed to help him focus. We have been working with Soroush for over two years. He is patient, kind, extremely thorough, and takes no nonsense from anybody. He worked diligently with our son to make sure that he excels at every step of the way. Soroush is an avid piano player and teacher and I loved his old school style being of Russian Jewish descent. Most importantly, he really takes great care of our son and our son (now 10) loves his lessons. Soroush thinks about our son every step of the way when he designs his lessons. I give this music school 50 thumbs up and 10000% confidence.

Soroush is incrediblely patient & fun when teaching my kids. He is professional & has a good relationship with us. I asked my kids about Soroush & his teaching technique & they said; ‘his teaching is unique & easy.’

He is definitely know how to work with kids! I see my son is improving over time! Thanks for your patience and hands on teaching my son piano!!

Absolutely would recommend. I wish I would have received my lessons they way he teaches.

Soroush is a musical standout in Minnesota, and my piano journey with him has been exceptional.

His teaching is captivating and insightful, making complex music concepts easy to grasp. With unwavering patience, he’s elevated my piano skills and kindled a deep passion for music.

Soroush’s adaptability and flexible scheduling make learning convenient. If you’re in Minnesota and desire top-notch piano education, Soroush is the choice for musical excellence.

We hit the jackpot with Soroush Naji as our children’s piano teacher! He’s not just a teacher; he’s a fantastic friend to our kids. They can’t wait for their lessons because Soroush makes learning piano super fun. Our kids are thriving and excited about music thanks to his awesome lessons. Highly recommend Soroush!

An amazing teacher with much experience. Was and is highly recommended. There isn’t a piano teacher that can switch to comedy in fewer seconds.

Soroush is a wonderful piano teacher. I came to him after knowing how to play piano for about 30 years but I had a specific goal to play a particular piece. Soroush guided me every step of the way and just a few months later I was playing my goal piece, Clair de Lune. He showed me I could do things I never thought I would be able to do. He is patient, kind, and tailors your lessons to you (or your child.) I fully and whole-heartedly recommend him.

Mr. Naji is considerably one of the best piano instructors in Minnesota. Genuinely affectionate and helpful.

Soroush is an amazing piano teacher for my daughter! His passion for music, patience, and personalized approach make every lesson enjoyable. He’s punctual and professional, making the whole experience hassle-free. We’re lucky to have him as our teacher, and my daughter’s piano skills have improved immensely thanks to Soroush. Highly recommended!

Soroush is absolutely wonderful, with a calm manner, supportive teaching style and has a fantastic rapport with my daughter. Very professional and provide an excellent service. My daughter has improved a lot and always looks forward to her next lesson.
