About
I love teaching! Piano, Guitar, Bass and Ukelele is offered. Lessons at my studio in person, virtual or a combination are available. People of any age and ability including visually impaired have come to me over my 33 years teaching. Guiding students eager to learn and helping them to grow into their instrument and love of music is what I continue to enjoy. Mary🙂🎵

i have two recitals a year and the Spring one is always special because I love to give awards out to students for their special years in Piano such as three years, five years and exit.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Look for a teacher when you’re comfortable with. Make sure what you wanted music is what they can provide. Some teachers are all into competitions. If that is what you’re looking for that is good. Some teachers like myself are into music for life. That means that I want to teach a student how to be able to play piano in their life and enjoy the music that they would like to play.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
The student should think about how comfortable they are with the teacher with whom they will be spending a half an hour to an hour with each week
