Hello! I’m Stephanie. I’ve been playing piano for 36 years and teaching for the past 18 in a wide range of settings, including my home studio, online, K–12 schools, and at the university level.

My goal is not only to teach you how to play the piano, but also to help you understand how music works, develop strong technique, and build confidence in your own musical voice. I currently teach a thriving online studio and welcome students of all levels. I’m comfortable t

My name is Annarita and I have been teaching private lessons since 2012. As a professional violinist I focus my attention on all important aspects of successful music making skills including posture (eliminating tension and achieving a more effortless sense of playing), technical proficiency, knowledge of music theory, and most importantly sound production.

I have 14 years of experience playing on the Viola. I just recently received my Masters degree from Michigan State University in Viola performance under Professor Yuri Gandelsman. I received my undergrad degree from Eastern Michigan University under Scott Woolweaver and Dan Foster. I have many years of orchestral experience and would love to help people prepare for auditions if needed. Depending on needs I can also help prepare solo works as long as technical etudes to help reach your goals when performing.
