Denise Santoro

I have studied with Denise for several months and consider myself a novice. Having taken lessons with several piano teachers through the years, and then losing interest and not playing, Denise has turned all that around inspiring me to learn, practice and really enjoy playing the piano. She is of the highest caliber, having been classically trained, and has motivated me to play pieces by Beethoven, Bach and Debussy to name a few. Her attention to detail with respect to my touch, tone and execution of pieces is priceless. She’s patient, even-tempered, and most importantly, knows how to bring out the best in me. Denise also teaches on a stunning grand piano in her lovely home that is warm and inviting. If you are anywhere in the Forest Hill section of Newark and looking for piano lessons - this is the place!

Couldn’t ask for a better mentor.

Her patience and piano teaching is very easy to understand. I also loved her way of progressing to the next lesson!
