Lori H. says, "We are so thankful for Marla! Our son began taking piano lessons as a middle school student, and Marla was the perfect teacher for him in so many ways. A patient teacher with an eye to her individual students' needs and goals, Marla has been skillful at teaching our son the basics without making him feel like a "little kid". She works hard to find out what her students love and then gives them the opportunity to grow and blossom within that sphere. She also makes the fundamentals of piano a priority, keeping it fun with contests during the summer (or pandemic!) and prizes and incentives along the way. Her love of teaching and pride in her student's success is evident at her annual student recitals, which we look forward to each year. Marla is easy to work with, thoughtful, encouraging, and excited about her students' progress. She has made piano lesson day one of our favorite days of the week!" Read more
