Susan is an excellent piano teacher! Very patient and encouraging, works on strengthening weak areas, while allowing strengths to shine through. Susan provides opportunities to stretch her students confidence levels (recitals, federation adjudication) and walks through every step of preparation with you. I highly recommend Susan to all experience levels of students and age groups!

Frequently asked questions

What is your typical process for working with a new student?

The first thing I do with a new student is to get to know them a little better. This helps with the students nervousness and helps me get to know them. I then discuss how I teach my lessons and what I need in return from the student regarding practicing. I try to find out how much musical knowledge they may already have so I can pick out the correct books for them to get started. I usually bring a few along with me. Each lesson is different depending on the student.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
