Gabrielle is a patient, attentive, and caring instructor. She plays piano in a beautiful, expressive style that I hope to learn how to emulate. She has the kind of personality that helps motivate me to want to practice more and play better. And she takes the time to explain things (like music theory concepts) that don't always make sense to me at first. She has been helping me improve both with classical music, newer music styles, and also how to play church music in a more flowing, modern way than it is written in (like playing hymns with rolling chords, which though I find intimidating-I'm improving!). I have been very happy with her as a teacher for both myself and my children. As an adult student of hers who had two other piano teachers as a child, Gabrielle stands out as the best piano teacher, in every respect, that I have had.

Taking piano lessons from Patti is something I look forward to each week. I am committed to practice every day for an hour & a half. And although I will probably never play in Carnegie Hall, I will be able to play carols, oldies but goodies and in general enjoy the music! Patti is making it an enjoyable and attainable experience for me! I recommend taking lessons the way Patti teaches them whether you are young or older (like I am!).
