Debashis S. says, "I’m an adult and was trying to learn piano on my own for several years but was stuck in the beginner phase forever. I started lessons with Samantha and in the short span of 6 months I’ve started making real progress and am now playing pieces that I never would have imagined playing even a short time ago.
She chooses pieces for me, based on music that I like, which are slightly above my current level. So I’m making continuous progress, while playing pieces that I love, including simplified arrangements of much harder well known pieces. She also posts videos of her playing the chosen piece, so that I can play it over and over, to notice things that I may have missed during the lesson.
She also organizes several recitals a year (including informal recitals just for adults) which gives students plenty of opportunities to perform in front of a considerate audience.
She is very organized and at the end of each lesson she gives me a sheet with exact practice instructions so that I don’t have to wonder about what to practice. She is also quite flexible with her schedule and is very good about rescheduling in case I cannot make it to a lesson.
She has composed many wonderful pieces herself and is skilled at multiple genres of music in addition to classical. I highly recommend her." Read more
