Suzanne is a consummate professional; she affirms the adage “you get what you pay for”. After working with several cut-rate “student-teachers” and not seeing desired progress with my son, switching to Suzanne — an experienced educator with twenty years experience — floored me. My son took to her approach immediately and started leveling-up right away. Additionally, her online set-up is easy to navigate and as effective as being in the same room. In short, I highly recommend working with Suzanne.

I decided to take piano lessons in my senior citizen years after not having played since I was a child. Deborah's patience and encouragement during weekly lessons have given me great confidence. She guides me through each piece carefully focusing on techniques to help me improve. I also think her selection of music books and practice exercises are appropriate for my abilty. And , she gently challenges me with more difficult pieces as I become more comfortable and capable. I would highly recommend Deborah to anyone regardless of age who wants to learn how to play the piano .
