About

I specialize in teaching all students how to become confident music readers. I feel that sight reading skill is the most important factor in students continuing to play, whether professionally or for pleasure, throughout their lives.

I enjoy instilling problem solving skills in children in a way that is fun for them. I like teaching children and adults music that they want to learn as well as getting to know their interests and introducing them to new music that becomes a new favorite.

Mandy provides expert instruction to students of all ages, but she has special rapport with the young. We appreciated how her love of music and talent inspired our daughter and other students we saw at recitals. Mandy is a great teacher!

Mandy has been teaching our 2 boys for the last 5 years. She is patient and fun with young kids. She keeps them focused, adapts to what they need & like and has them progress steadily. She organizes seasonal recitals so her students learn to perform. Mandy is reliable and has never missed a lesson. We are very happy with Mandy as our piano teacher!

Frequently asked questions

I like to have students committ to one initial lesson. If the student dies not have a lesson book, I provide one at the first lesson. If the student has prior experience with piano or another instrument, I evaluate their existing knowledge. Regardless of whether the student is beginning or more advanced, we discuss goals, the amount of practice time that the student has in a typical week, and what we can expect to achieve at that commitment level. 

A Bachelor of Arts degree from Agnes Scott and a Masters in Piano Pedagogy from Georgia State.

Weekly or twice monthly available

I began teaching fellow students in high school. I then taught a few students near my college, and began teaching teaching full time immediately upon graduation.

Ages 5 through seniors. I have taught beginners through advanced students, and worked with children with ADD, mild autism, and dislexia.

We had a guitarist accompany students at the Christmas recital, and it was great fun. I like doing Halloween recitals at my home, with students in their costumes.

Try one lesson with the teacher to see if it is a good fit before you commit to further lessons. Ask about their expectations for practice and see if that fits with your schedule. Also ask about what repertoire is taught. Some teachers may only teach classical, and if the student is motivated by movie themes, jazz etc it will be important to communicate that interest to the teacher.

Amount of time you have to practice, and whether the goal is to prepare for band in school, to learn to read music, to become a serious performer, etc. If you don't have a piano, where you will practice and if you need assistance looking into renting an instrument or buying a new or used one. If you need an instrument, communicating your budget will help your teacher guide you in the right directionl.
