Hemet High School Math Teacher
“Mr. Biskie was my private clarinet teacher during 6th-12th grade and my middle school band director. Many years later, my own two children were blessed to take music lesson from him for 10 years. His students become the top performing students in their school bands."
Alyssa D.
San Diego, flute player
"Best music teacher EVER! He teaches me online and I was the only student at my middle school that made our district honor band."
Jonathan D.
Hemet, trumpet player
“I earned a music scholarship to Cal Baptist University thanks to Mr. Biskie's excellent teaching skills.”
Shantell S.
Hemet, parent
"Mr Biskie was highly recommended to me when I was seeking a flute teacher for my daughter in the fall of 2016. She was in the 6th grade then, she will be going into her senior year of high school this fall. During these years my daughter has consistently studied with Mr. Biskie on a weekly basis in the comfort of our home and via Facetime during Covid. Under Mr. Biskie's guidance my daughter has grown tremendously, not only progressing through the fundamentals to more challenging pieces of flute playing, but also studying music theory, performing public solos and/or multi-player ensembles, and also experiencing playing at different venues. Mr. Biskie is passionate about teaching music, he invests in his students and genuinely cares about them. I absolutely recommend Mr. Biskie."
