Hemdah was a fantastic teacher for my girls. Being a musician myself, it was very important that I found a top tier educator for my daughters. Hemdah positive atmosphere, the "you-can-do-this" attitude paired with high expectations and high quality instruction made this a perfect fit. I feel very fortunate to have found Hemdah. She is certainly a diamond in the industry and I cannot think of a better piano teacher for my girls. I evenborrowed several of her teaching techniques and use them in my classroom to this day. Hemdah is the real deal, a class act, has a heart of gold and a genuine passion for children. Hemdah is at the top of her game!

''Ms. Amanda Schafer has been a wonderful piano teacher for my son, who began lessons when he was just over five years old. Ms. Amanda is kind and patient with him, while still reinforcing good technique and habits to give him a strong foundation. She also keeps things fun in small ways, like encouraging the kids to choose pieces that are interesting to them and letting them play in costume at Halloween. When in-person lessons were suspended for five months due to the coronavirus pandemic, Ms. Amanda transitioned easily to Zoom lessons and kept him engaged and motivated. After a year and a half of lessons, I am amazed at how much Malcolm has learned and also how excited he continues to be about keeping up his lessons. I am so thankful that he has had such a dedicated teacher to instill in him an early love of music.''
