I've been a student of hers for years, and I absolutely love her! She is very kind and welcoming, and her home is neat and clean. I learned so much and you can tell she loves piano and teaching so much. She has had students ranging from ~3 or 4 years old up to seniors in high school so she can teach all levels. I highly recommend her, and in addition to learning so much and becoming a better pianist, lessons were fun and encouraging. I no longer take lessons from her as I'm in college now, but we still keep in touch over text and email because she builds lasting relationships with her students.
