I’m 48 years old and was a self-taught musician who dabbled in composition, but I didn’t know how to read or write music and had no knowledge of theory. I’ve been studying piano with Robin for a little over a year and have learned a tremendous amount. When I went to my first lesson, I couldn’t read a single note on the piano. Now, I’m at an early intermediate level, studying both classical music and jazz with her. I’m so proud of my progress and excited to see how far I’ll go in the next year. Robin is truly the best teacher.

I love that my kids are progressing and learning all the skills required to be competent pianists. Some piano teachers make kids feel more capable than they are, but Holly is nice, but has high expectations. I like that. My son says Holly is the perfect amount of strictness. I agree with him.

Dennise is a wonderful instructor. She has been teaching my daughter for the past three years and my daughter has thrived in her piano skills. What I love about Dennise is that she is patient with her students and encourages them to keep learning with incentives. She recognizes their struggles and hones in on what they need. I admire that Dennise is super patient with small kids to teenagers. She is friendly and personable. My daugther is now able to play church hymns and feeling confident in playing piano for others.

"Marie's piano studio is a great place to learn piano. I have been taking piano lessons from Marie Harris for five years. I am still taking lessons and now work as one of her assistants. Throughout my lessons, I have not only learned to love the piano, but have also learned a lot of people skills from Marie. Aside from being an extremely adept teacher, she is always patient and encouraging when she talks to the kids. She creates a positive, friendly atmosphere in the studio, ensuring that all of her students enjoy their lessons. I look forward to learning more from Marie Harris.

I've been playing the piano for about 10 years. I never really felt like I enjoyed it or that I would ever progress with it. Until I found Sarah! I've been with Sarah for about 2 years and I feel like a whole new pianist! I've moved up so much faster than I had all the years before. I'm playing songs I never imagined I would play. And I enjoy it so much more now that I can play what I want to. Not only do I enjoy playing now but it has become a passion. I used to be forced to practice and I hated it! But now I use the things I've learned, with Sarah and The Piano place, as outlets for life's stressors and depressors! Thank you so much to The Piano Place for changing my life!
