We are absolutely loving our experience at Cloud Chords. Our 10-year-old daughter genuinely looks forward to her piano lessons every week, which has been such a joy to see. Eliot has an incredible ability to meet her exactly where she is while gently challenging and encouraging her in ways that build both skill and confidence.

He strikes that rare balance of being patient, supportive, motivating, and fun, and it’s clear he truly understands how to connect with kids as individuals. We’ve watched her musical ability grow alongside her enthusiasm and self-confidence, and she’s become so much more excited about practicing and learning. We feel very lucky to have found Cloud Chords and highly recommend them to anyone looking for thoughtful, high-quality music instruction.

Eliot is a master piano teacher. He provides a variety of fun and engaging ways to learn about all things music. Highly recommend!

Great virtual lessons for an adult beginner (piano). I love the structure (super interactive) of the lessons and have come a long way in the past 6 months in understanding the basics of music theory and practice. Thank you, Eliot, for being a wonderful teacher

Our family cannot recommend cloud chords enough! We love Eliot and our two kids have been benefitting from his thoughtful, fun, and inspiring teaching for 3 and a half years. From piano to guitar to voice and including help with musical auditions, Eliot's abilities to teach and connect with students (from young elementary thru teenage) is awesome!!!

Eliot Jones has developed a neat system for teaching music via Zoom. I have found learning ukulele to be a simple and fun once a week commitment that is good for the soul. Anyone would find Eliot to be a knowledgable, adaptive, and a perceptive teacher.

My kid has gotten so much value out of her lessons with Jaqui. She looks forward to the lessons every week, and it's a pleasure to listen to her play! Shhhh... she doesn't want mom to listen! Thanks to this convenient set up, I can! Thank you for enabling us to have lessons from the comfort of our home, and for giving my child something to look forward to every week! Jacqui has been fantastic!

Our family cannot say enough good things about Eliot. He has been my younger son’s piano teacher for over six years, and during that time he has been a consistently positive, grounding, and joyful force in my son’s life. Beyond teaching technique, he introduced my son to a wide range of music and styles, helping him build real curiosity and appreciation.. not just skills. He meets students where they are, adapts thoughtfully, and truly sees them as whole people. We’ve worked together through a challenging disability, the pandemic, and even across-country remote lessons, and through it all he has shown unwavering dedication, warmth and creativity. He never gave up on connection or progress, even when circumstances were hard. Most importantly, my son genuinely loves working with him. That says everything. A teacher like this, beloved, dependable, and deeply invested is rare. We feel incredibly lucky to have found him and would recommend Cloud Chords without hesitation to any family.

Sheridan is an awesome drum teacher. She got my son to open up and play some beats down. So far so good. I appreciate that she's very patient with him. I recommend Cloud Chords to those who are wanting to learn any instruments they offer to teach like ukulele, piano or drums. Eliot is a great teacher. He breaks stuff down that's easy to understand. His energy is upbeat which helps when learning new instruments.

It has been so fun learning Ukulele and Guitar with Eliot! I started as a total beginner on the Ukulele. All of our lessons have been based on the songs I want to learn, and Eliot has been super helpful modifying songs for my voice and skill level. I recently was able to play my nephew’s favorite songs at his birthday. All the kids were dancing to baby shark! Eliot has a ton of teaching aids and is flexible with what you want to learn while providing guidance. He is just as excited for my lessons as I am. I’m graduating to guitar now which isn’t something I even thought I’d be able to make progress with before Eliot. I recommend him to anyone who wants to enjoy the learning process.

Tell us what you’d love to learn.
