Gail is an outstanding piano teacher for my children. She is highly trained in the Suzuki method, but also incorporates other excellent materials for sight reading, theory, etc. She has high expectations of the students and has their respect. At the same time she is very patient, engaging, and loving. Gail puts a lot of effort into using techniques which will motivate each child at each stage of his development. Through the studio we also engage in valuable group classes, recitals, social events, workshops, competitions, and piano performance as a service opportunity in the community. Being part of the studio is much more than a weekly lesson. Highly recommend!
