"It's been almost two years since I've started attending his classes. There was a time when I was looking for a piano teacher who could teach me jazz standards and the art of improvisation, but most teachers I contacted, offered courses in only classical music. Mr. Rythem's class has benefitted me a lot. I have made quite some progress and have a whole new dimension of looking towards music. He has also taught me some techniques on the keyboard as well as music theories that help me whenever I play something. He helped me complete my Trinity grade 7 and 8 exams. The best thing about sir is that he is humble, polite, humorous and an amazing teacher. I've seen him teach beginner students and advanced students and caters to each student's needs individually. Even during online classes, he adjusts the camera in an angle from where one can see his hands, which makes learning a lot easier. I still look forward to his classes every week. "

"Rythem is a great pianist and mentor. I'm totally satisfied with the lessons provided by him. He makes music learning fun and quite easy. One more thing I have realised is that you would not only become a great pianist but a great musician too, which is equally important. He is a very humble and friendly person. I definitely recommend everyone taking lessons from him! - Vaibhav "

"I have been learning piano for almost 1.5 years or so from Rythem and I must say that I am really happy with the lessons. I got his reference through a mutual friend. He is really a creative musician and a patient teacher. He not only focuses on the syllabus but also believes in working on your weaknesses and shares his musical experience frequently. I never imagined that I would improve exponentially during the time I was looking for a good piano educator after being unsatisfied with my earlier mentors. He is not only a great pianist but a great person. By taking lessons from him, one will develop great musicianship and maturity towards music. I highly recommend him for piano lessons. "
