“Joseph is a great piano teacher. Not just because of his playing ability, which is amazing, but the connection he makes with his students. My daughter couldn't wait for her lessons with Joseph. Great guy! I wish the West Coast hadn't stolen him from us.”

“Joe taught both my daughters piano when they were just learning to play. He is the best! He was very patient. I’ve had several different piano teachers since Joe moved away and no one else comes close!”

"Mr. Irrera is by far the best piano teacher I've ever had, and I've had many. During my time practicing with him, I had the most growth in playing, and I actually completely enjoyed practicing. He's very caring, loves piano and music, and is clearly very educated in the subject. I strongly recommend learning from him so you can experience it first-hand."

"Joe taught my son piano for a year (before he moved out of area) and we were thrilled to see the progress my son was making - he actually won an area competition as a result of his teaching! We had gone through a few piano teachers but Joe is the only one that had so much belief in him that ultimately motivated him to want to become a good piano player himself. Joe's extensive music training background equipped him well to be a great piano teacher, but most importantly, his ability to pass his passion for music to my son is what we valued the most. Thank you Joe!!"

“Mr. Joe, as my daughter calls him, started giving her piano lessons at the age of five. We could not have had a more patient and talented music teacher. I was so impressed by his teaching method that I also became a student! Not only he attended the prestigious Eastman School of Music, he is also a Steinway Artist, a recognition given to only a few pianist worldwide. New York is certainly missing one of its finest. We know we are.”

"I studied under the auspices of Dr. Irrera from Fall of 2008 as a serious competition-level high school pianist for four years until I graduated in May 2012. Dr. Irrera is an absolutely fantastic piano teacher, his greatest asset is that he really teaches you how to dissect and analyze all the agogic, technical, musical, and occasionally theoretical nuances that go into understanding just how a piece should sound after several months of study."

"He is amazing! My kids love him. So sorry he left Rochester. He was the best teacher they ever had. He is kind, patient, a fantastic pianist, and an amazing teacher. When you go to the piano recital you realize he is able to teach all levels and everyone improves. You also see how much the kids love him. My kids miss Joe so if he has time for you grab him ! You will not be disappointed."

"Joe taught all three of my kids. Great teacher. Knows his stuff and was great with our children. The only bad thing was that he moved to another state! We miss you Joe!"
